9:30am EST

Nimble Professionals

Friday January 31, 2025 9:30am - 10:45am EST

General, open to all.

Lighting color with LEDs

Friday January 31, 2025 11:00am - 12:15pm EST

General, open to all. This presentation goes through the challenges and opportunities in lighting with LEDs. This class will go through basic LED color theory and spectral content.

This class is good for those who are interested in lighting design, but also for scenic and costume designers to help them understand how (and why) their palettes will look different on stage.
