Hey Lighting PPL!

I've just entered full-time employment as a Trainee AV Technician.. I already know plenty about sound to get me by, but when it comes to lighting, I don't know Squat... I can set up Trussing, etc etc, and hang the lights. But do any of you have any "Tips" or "Advice" ??

Thanks! Anything is much appreciated.

Hi Apollo, have a look at the Amazon web site for some good books on stage lighting. There are quite a few and they also have reviews from readers. You can also down-load user manuals of lighting desks from some manufactures web sites.
