Description

“Automated Lighting-Technology, Applications, and Design” is a comprehensive text covering everything it is important to know as a working or aspiring lighting professional about automated lighting fixtures, systems, how they’re used and design issues you’ll face. It is written in clear, easy-to-keep in mind language but includes enough detailed information that the most experienced technician and engineer will appreciate and get pleasure from reading. Subjects covered include the history of automated lighting, DC and AC electricity, basic electronics, power supplies, digital electronics, electro-mechanical systems, optical systems (including dichroic filters, reflectors, lenses, and more), lamp technology, lighting effects (including color mixing, glass gobos, and more), data distribution systems, DMX, RDM, and ACN. Cutting-edge automated lighting fixtures in quite a lot of applications including theatre, television, concert/touring, and permanent installations are discussed and special design issues are addressed.

The text is amply illustrated with drawings and pictures. The newest technology in automated lighting–“digital” lighting or pixel-based automated lighting projection–is also covered in detail. This book is the antithesis of a reference manual or user manual. It is entertaining and educational with loads of graphic illustrations and easy-to-keep in mind concepts. It’s the most fun you’ll be able to have without sitting in the back of a console.
