Best Learning device

• Hands on experience
• successful lighting design ultimately depends on
  the designer understanding his equipment, not
  just in theory but in practice.
• A good exercise
• Tests these lighting tools 6 ellipsoidal
  reflector, 6" fresnel, 24" Flood, and Par64MFL
• Each fixture should be used (one at a time) to
  light a small scene, against a black backdrop and
  floor and then against a white backdrop and
  floor. The designer will usually be quite
  surprised at how just changing the scenery from
  black to white (light to dark), can drastically
  'change the lighting'. This provides a great
  lesson regarding reflection, absorption,
  intensity, color, moods, etc.
