Lighting design is the practice of planning and arranging light sources to achieve functional, aesthetic, or emotional effects in a space or production. It is used by theater and film professionals, architects, interior designers, and event planners to shape mood, highlight focal points, and enhance visibility, requiring knowledge of fixtures, color temperature, and control systems.
