Society of Television Lighting Directors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Society of Television Lighting Directors (STLD) was established 30 October 1974 to promote discussion on techniques and the use and design of equipment. With no union affiliations it is recognised as a platform for open discussion and demonstration of the craft [1] — and is run as a non-profit making organisation by an elected committee of volunteers for the benefit of its members.
