In order to be able to execute an effective stage lighting design, it is important that the crew knows what their responsibilities are, according to Harvard University. Arrange a meeting with the crew prior to designing the lighting system so that everyone understands what to expect from each other. You may want to rely on your head rigging technician to supply you with a rigging diagram.
LED lighting is a low-energy intelligent lighting that can be programmed to create a wide variety of colors. According to Church Stage Design Ideas, using LED lights requires a couple of considerations. Use spotlights to light up faces and not LED lights. LED lights cast a composite light made up of many different colors, and along the contours of a face, that may not look natural. Do not point LED lights at the audience. When you point the LED lights at the audience, all they will see is the various individual colors and they will not see the composite result you are looking for.
According to Live Systems Ltd, the power considerations for your lighting system are important to keep an eye on. If you create a lighting design that requires 50 amps of power, but you can only get 40 amps, then your lights will not work and you run the risk of creating a fire hazard. Speak with the technical director of the theater and find out how many total amps the theater's power system can handle. Put the higher drawing devices on separate circuits to avoid overloading a single circuit. Your LED lights do not draw a lot of power, so you may be able to conserve circuits by putting all of your LED lights on a single circuit.
