City of lights

The lighting technician's duties include: * Placement and focus of lighting fixtures for any given scene to be photographed. * Distribution of power and work lights around the set and support areas * Management of electrical generators. * Providing electricity to all support services and departments on the set. The world knows Eindhoven through Philips and PSV, and Eindhoven City of Light has become a natural term to use. Light has everything to do with the past, present and future of Eindhoven. The first light bulb, to the design of Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), was produced by Gerard Philips in a factory on the Emmasingel in 1891. The Philps Gloeilampenfabriek NV was founded in 1912. From that time on, researchers, engineers and designers have worked on the latest light technologies in Eindhoven. As they continue to do to this day. Light is an all-encompassing bridge between the present and past of our city. After all, Light is a clearly recognisable product of Eindhoven, originating from the city’s technological power. With applications of a high physical quality that are at the same time eminently accessible. There is plenty of interest in and enthusiasm for Light. Light often plays a prominent part in the ideas of artists, architects and designers about the city.
