　　一本实用的灯光书

　　个人在舞台灯光的教学经验中，常常碰到的学生反应是：「老师，参考书目为什么都是英文的？」「有中文的教材吗？我的英文程度不好，读起来太吃力。」虽然我会告诉学生，使用原文阅读有助于正确学习灯光专业知识的本质，也是主要的资料更新管道，但是有时我也会思考，如果有一本以中文写作的灯光书，应该可以让初学者在刚开始学习灯光专业时， 缩短因为文字隔阂而产生的时程障碍，或是避免英文程度不佳而造成的错误解读，同时也降低学习门槛，达成吸引更多人参与灯光学习的效果。如此该是从事剧场灯光技术教育者乐见和支持的。

　　本书提供了上述想法实现的一个可能。全书涵盖了舞台灯光各部分的基础知识，各章节分别为剧场灯光简介、灯光特性与功能、基本电学、灯泡、灯具与器材、灯光系统、色彩学、灯光的方向与角度、剧场介绍、打灯方式、灯光图、纸上作业、灯光设计程序。内容循序渐进、深入浅出， 对有志于剧场灯光学习者，可说是一本极具价值的参考书。

　　作者将台湾剧场现况加入章节中做实例的探讨，是我觉得全书中最值得肯定的特色。他将书本上的专业知识与台湾剧场实务应用同步讨论，提供学习者一个在地而全面的视野，是相当务实、有用的作法。

　　李东荣先生是我早期的工作伙伴，也是现在的同事，二十余年来，我们都在剧场灯光这个专业领域工作、教学，很高兴看到这本汇整他多年教学内容的书籍出版，更期待未来有更多关于这方面的着作出现。


作者序

　　从事剧场灯光教学及设计多年，常有学生询问是否有关于灯光设计或技术上的书籍可供参考。我的答案很难满足他们的需求，因为这方面的中文书籍本来就很少，可找到的书不是已经绝版，就是有些过时。当然，里面陈述的一些观念和做法与现在相通，很值得参考，但不容易取得。至于英文书籍就有不少讲述剧场灯光方面的着作，我也拜读了一些。要学生在网路上订购很容易，但语言的隔阂对于一部分的学生来说却很难跨越。考虑之后，还是由我自己来编写中文的灯光书，也可以把多年来的教学笔记做一次完整的整理，让剧场灯光的初学者能有一份较易亲近及阅读的中文参考书。

　　在教学的头一两年，我将英文剧场教科书的内容完全翻译成中文，当成教学的内容。然而我发现其中陈述的状况与台湾的现况有些许差异；虽然台湾的剧场技术是师法于欧美，但制度、环境和民族的性格都不相同， 数十年来台湾自己发展出一套近似欧美的体制，但又不尽相同，是一个属于台湾特有的工作方式。本书中，这两种方法我都会介绍。欧美的做法比较严谨完善，且经过长时间的验证，一直是我们学习的榜样。我会强调其做法，并附带解说台湾的不同做法或省略了哪些步骤，让初学者有更宽广的视野，知道为什么，而不是看到别人的作法，就认为只能这么作或是应该这么作。

　　科技日新月异，器材不断更新，尽管很多设计的理念与方法持久不变，但新的科技也会改变我们设计的方式与做法，因此了解器材和了解设计都非常重要。这也是为什么我会花较多篇幅解说器材与剧场，之后才讲解设计的方法与步骤。

　　期待这本书的出版，对有兴趣参与剧场灯光的人士或是从业人员能有一些帮助，并作为与台湾剧场灯光工作人员相互切磋与交流的工具，也为台湾剧场的进步与发展略尽绵力。

第二章  灯光的特性与功能

一、灯光的特性（Qualities of Light）

光对于大多数人来说理所当然，很少人会去仔细观察，更别说描述它了。不管是自然的光（如阳光）或是人工的光（如灯光），都有自身的特性。了解这些特性能够帮助你观察光线，进而复制光线和创造光线。以下要讨论的灯光特性，也可以说是我们能改变灯光的方面，而研究这些方面让我们知道如何驾驭灯光。

㈠明暗度

灯光的亮度是最明显的特性，也是最容易改变的。一般我们去买灯泡，最在乎的是有多亮；看书用的？还是走廊照明用？我们会选择不同亮度的灯泡，因为对各个地方有不同亮度的要求，在剧场当然也是。

亮度可以分为实际亮度和比较亮度。用器材去测量，测出来的数据就是实际亮度。如拍摄电影时，工作人员会用测光表去测亮度。器材上的数据会告诉你有多亮，而且数据保持不变。对于我们的眼睛来说，一样数据的亮度，在不同状况下感觉也有差异。比如车灯在大白天看不太出来， 但在黑夜里就感觉非常亮，这就是比较亮度。因为我们的眼睛有瞳孔，可以适应不同亮度，例如一根蜡烛的亮度非常微弱，若把它放在全暗的舞台上，感觉就截然不同。所以在对于明暗的感觉上，比较亮度胜过实际亮度。善用实际亮度和比较亮度可以在舞台制造很多效果。

㈡颜色

光除了明暗之外，颜色是最容易分辨的。现实生活中，我们常看到有颜色的光线，如夕阳、日出、霓虹灯和交通号志等等。颜色在剧场设计的领域中，是非常强而有力的设计元素，在剧场呈现的效果及戏剧性极强， 因为颜色给人的感觉比较直接和强烈。用灯光的颜色去营造气氛或呈现场景的时间地点，是剧场中常使用的手法。

白光可以帮助物体呈现原有的颜色；色光则因为本身也有颜色，所以可以改变物体的颜色。在使用色光时要极为注意，一个不小心就会伤害其他设计师（如舞台设计、服装设计）创造的颜色。虽然如此，色光在剧场灯光中是非常好用的设计工具，可以在一瞬间改变颜色，创造另一个不同的情境。

The way it links optical principles, like reflection and refraction, directly to how light behaves on stage is incredibly effective. It’s not just abstract physics; it’s physics as applied to the creation of visual magic. What truly sets this book apart, however, is its focus on the *art* of lighting design. It moves far beyond mere technical instruction to explore how light can be used as a powerful expressive tool. The discussions on color theory are particularly insightful. It doesn't just explain the scientific basis of color, but delves into the emotional and psychological impact of different hues and combinations. The book provides compelling examples of how lighting designers use color to create specific atmospheres, to define characters, and to guide the audience’s emotional journey through the performance. I found myself constantly pausing to re-read passages where the book described how a subtle shift in a color wash could completely alter the feeling of a scene, or how the strategic use of shadows could reveal a character’s inner turmoil. The practical aspects of the book are equally robust. It offers a comprehensive guide to the vast array of lighting instruments available, detailing their functionalities, their strengths, and their limitations. This practical knowledge is essential for making informed choices about equipment selection. Moreover, the book extensively covers the collaborative nature of theatre production, detailing how lighting designers work with directors, set designers, and other members of the creative team.

This book, however, demystifies the process with remarkable clarity and insight. The initial chapters delve into the very physics of light, not in a dry, academic way, but by connecting each principle directly to its application on stage. Understanding how diffusion affects beam spread, or how gels filter color, becomes immediately relevant when you see examples of how these elements are used to sculpt actors' faces, define architectural spaces, or evoke specific emotional landscapes. What’s particularly compelling is the book’s exploration of light as a narrative element. It emphasizes that lighting isn't merely about visibility; it's an active participant in telling the story. The discussions on how to use light to focus audience attention, to create dramatic tension through contrast and shadow, or to signal a shift in time or location are profoundly insightful. I recall reading about a specific scene where the designer used a subtle shift in color temperature and a gradual dimming of ambient light to convey a character’s internal turmoil. This detailed analysis of how subtle changes in light can have such a significant emotional impact on the audience was a revelation. It taught me to look beyond the brightness and color of a stage and to appreciate the deliberate artistry behind every luminous choice. The practical aspects covered are equally impressive. The book provides detailed breakdowns of different types of lighting fixtures, their technical specifications, and their strengths and weaknesses in various theatrical contexts. It doesn't just list them; it explains why a particular fixture might be chosen for a specific effect, considering factors like beam quality, intensity control, and color rendering.
