A Practical History of Lighting Technology

I have created this page for Art Directors, Production Designers, Buyers and other interested parties as a rough and ready guide as to what lighting technology was used in the past to help in the selection of practicals for period pieces.

​

This is not intended as an accurate historical record, but more as a set of guidelines as to what light sources you would be most likely to see in any given time period. I hope that it will prove a useful reference and help avoid blatant historical anachronisms!

​

Please note this page is a work in progress and will be filled with more information as I am able to collate it.
