Lighting Systems and ProgrammingLaajuus (5 ECTS)

Objective

The student is able to design the technical implementation of a lighting system based on an artistic design. The student can estimate the power requirements of the system and design the electrification and the control network of the system. The student can safely set up a lighting system.

The student understands the principles of moving light programming and its importance for the visual outcome. They know the programming workflow and can plan programming work in advance. The student can program moving lights for music or performance, using a variety of functions of a standard lighting console. They are able to use a 3D visualisation tool in programming.
