Stage lighting refers to the use of various lighting techniques and equipment to illuminate a performance area, such as a theater or concert stage. It enhances visibility for the audience and creates mood, atmosphere, and focus on performers. Different types of lights, such as spotlights, floodlights, and LED fixtures, are used to achieve specific effects and highlight key moments in a production. In addition to basic illumination, stage lighting can also involve color filters, dimmers, and automated lighting systems. These tools allow lighting designers to manipulate brightness and color, contributing to the overall storytelling of a performance. Effective stage lighting is essential for productions in theater, dance, and live music.
