What Is a Lighting Control Desk?

The lighting control desk is the central tool for lighting designers and technicians to create and manage the desired atmosphere and visual effects on stage. It is used to control lighting in stage shows, concerts, theatre productions, and other events. Comparable to an audio mixer, it is specifically designed for the control of lighting effects.

With a lighting desk, technicians can control various light sources such as spotlights, LED fixtures, and other stage lighting. It allows for switching lights on and off, adjusting their colour, brightness, and sometimes even their position. A lighting control desk also enables the programming and saving of complex lighting scenes and sequences, which can then be triggered manually or automatically during a performance.

Choosing by Application

Choosing the right lighting control desk depends on the intended use and the requirements of the event. We offer a suitable selection of lighting desks from top brands such as lightmaXX, Chauvet DJ, Chamsys, Eurolite, JB-Systems, and Showtec.

For smaller events or simple lighting setups like small concerts, parties, or bars, a basic lighting console is usually sufficient. These consoles allow for essential functions such as switching lights on and off, dimming, and perhaps simple colour changes.

For larger productions such as theatre performances, bigger concerts, or events with complex light shows, an advanced lighting control desk is necessary. These provide expanded features like scene programming, control of moving lights and colour changes, and synchronisation with music or other stage elements.

For large-scale and technically demanding productions like major theatre shows or television broadcasts, high-end professional lighting desks are required. These offer comprehensive control over numerous lighting sources, support complex programming and integration with other technical systems like video and audio, and often include networking capabilities for centralised operation.
