Light in the hands of a lighting designer is like a brush in the hands of an artist—it can make or break a show. In this course, we’ll explore the controllable properties of light, the various lighting fixture types and configurations commonly used in a stage setting, and the power and control distribution methods that underpin an effective lighting design. We’ll also review industry standards for low- and medium-voltage control methods, the evolution of related data systems, and the changes it has wrought in the industry.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss the controllable properties of light and quality parameters that define its behavior and perception.
  • Articulate the main objectives of lighting design, the different types of light fixtures and lighting configurations, and their applications on stage.
  • Recognize key metrics and terminology used in the lighting industry and their significance in selecting lighting fixtures.
  • Describe power and control distribution methods and the evolution of data systems supporting them.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
