Welcome
The Association of Lighting Designers is a professional body representing lighting designers working in the live performance industry in the United Kingdom and many other parts of the world.
Its aims are to further the art of lighting design and to raise the professional status of the Lighting Designer as a member of the creative team.
The majority of its members work in Theatre (including Opera and Dance), but there are many others working in Television, Architecture, Rock and Roll Concerts, Education and Corporate Presentation.
The ALD is the mouthpiece of the performance lighting industry and a resource for information on the wide range of lighting design topics that affect designers in the lighting profession.
