lighting cue
Illumination change prompt
A lighting cue is a signal or notation indicating when stage lights should change during a performance.
In theater, film, and live events, lighting cues are numbered and called by a stage manager: Standby lighting cue 47... go.
The term extends to the actual lighting change itself.
A cue sheet lists all lighting cues in sequence with their timing and technical specifications.
