舞臺燈光在現代戲劇的舞臺視覺呈現中扮演相當重要的角色，尤其隨著燈光硬體設備的發展精進，為戲場整體的視覺及表現手法提供了更多的可能性，對於燈光設計者來說也更具有挑戰性。 燈光在設計上的思考角度不應受限於技術考量，而應回歸到文本及整體製作的概念來建立設計邏輯，應該要從過去單為製造燈光效果的技術思考跳脫，進而去探究什麼才是演出所需要的美學觀點，從而作為寫實與寫意的式風格變化的理念基礎。 現代戲劇的包羅萬象，也同時提供燈光設計上由拘謹的照明與寫實功能中衍生出變化多端的寫意風格，本文將介紹燈光的配置方法並討論燈光如何與導演及其他視覺創作部門，共同營造造出舞臺的幻覺空間。

The invention of Moving Lights is an inspiration in stage lighting design. With this development, lighting is no longer static but instead becomes complicated and brilliant moving illumination. The lighting designer has to contemplate the interactive relationship between the lighting and performing arts seriously when he sues Moving-lights-although these illuminations proved infinite effects, their development can be an impediment if not used in properly. It is unbearable for an audience to accept a show with incessant interruption—such incompetent lighting destroys the visual aspect of performing. Therefore, avoiding distraction from Moving-lights becomes a major task of the lighting designer. Creating a smooth and comfortable integration of Moving-lights and performing arts becomes a principal mission for the lighting designer in the digital era.
