What is Lighting Design?

Lighting Design & Operation is an artform, although at its core are engineering and design principles to create experiences. The art and beauty of good lighting and event design can emote some incredible reactions and raw emotions. By understanding the core principles of colour theory, performance and design, Lighting Engineers demonstrate their expertise and differentiate themselves through the use and manipulation of light, a medium with which most of us perceive the world.

How lights are placed, its relative intensity and in what direction the lights face can have a major impact not only on vision and visual comfort but perception. It’s not just light but the lighting equipment itself can affect impressions of the space and the client. Lighting has a big impact on mood and atmosphere, social interaction and heavily inpacts satisfaction, visibility, task performance, safety, security and sales. It also tells a story about the space and the overall narrative of the event / production.
