Multiple lights to single address

Hi.
Is there anyway that I can assign multiple fixtures of the same type to common channels/addresses.
Eg. Assign 4 LED(7 channel) fixtures to addresses 1 through 7.

Just add one light at address 1 to QLC+ and set the same address on all four lights.
Note that unless your universe is full, you lose some flexibility if you don't set each light to different address. If every light has its own address you can still control them all at once if you want.

Jano, I'm currently doing like you say, and naming the fixture with X2, X4, etc. But then I can't have them represented in the 2D monitor. You don't always need all that flexibility for certain lights, and it clutters things up unnecessarily. And using 28 channel LED bars and panels nowdays quickly starts eating up your channels. Perhaps just being able to clone fixtures in 2D monitor? Not a critical request, but it would be nice

Yes, the 2D monitor is one reason why that is useful.
Another reason is in the group positioning also it'll be good to see a grid with say 2 rows and 6 columns but only occupying channels for 2 fixtures. Can this be a feature request?
