Master the Design of Modern LED Theatrical Lighting Systems.
A practical, in-depth training program for engineers, designers, and technical directors working with schools, theatres, or anywhere with a theatrical LED lighting system.
Why is this course perfect for me?
Most engineers and designers were never trained in the power and data system design for theatrical systems. As a result, performance spaces often end up with:
-
Undersized or oversized power distribution
-
Failing LED lighting fixtures
-
Poorly integrated or non-functional controls
-
Inefficient fixture layouts
- Â Costly rework during construction
Why this course?
With more than 40 years of theatre planning and design experience, we’ve helped engineers and administrators all over the world, whether for a school, community theatre, university, or city facility deliver performance spaces that actually work. This course distills that expertise into a practical, step-by-step training.
Without proper training, engineers and designers risk delivering theatres that don’t meet user needs—resulting in frustrated clients, costly redesigns, and reputational damage.
In this online course you will learn:
- Basics of Theatrical Lighting Design:Â lighting positions, angles
- Power Infrastructure:Â relays, motorized breakers, emergency circuits
- Control Systems: DMX512, sACN, RDM, and integration strategies.
- Fixture Selection: LEDs, photometric basics, coverage planning.
- Placement Strategies: FOH, catwalks, cyc lighting, multipurpose flexibility.
- Final Case Study: review a sample school theatre plan and propose solutions.
 After completing this course, you'll:
- Â Confidently design LED theatrical lighting power systems.
- Â Communicate effectively with architects, consultants, and production staff.
- Â Deliver theatres that are safe, flexible, and inspiring.
