Compulite is an Israel based company that designs and builds Lighting control consoles, Dimmers and other Theatre Lighting related equipment. The company was founded in 1978 by Dan Redler and Alfred Senator[1].

Compulite was the first to release a microprocessor based lighting desk in 1978[2].

The Compulite Animator, released in 1990, was one of the first desks to use DMX512 for the generic control of automated fixtures and dimmers simultaniously.

As of 2009 Compulite is one of only three companies in the world to produce sine-wave dimmers fit for use in theatre.
