lighting technicians
Theater brightness controllers
Lighting technicians are the people who set up, operate, and maintain lighting equipment for film, television, theater, concerts, and other productions.
They work under a gaffer or lighting designer to position lights, run cables, and adjust fixtures to achieve desired effects.
The role requires both technical electrical knowledge and an understanding of how light shapes mood and visibility on stage or screen.
