The ILLI Intensive Course returns to the East Coast this spring, and remaining spots are going quickly. Designed as a highly immersive, mentor-driven experience, the Intensive intentionally limits class size to preserve meaningful hands-on learning. Once capacity is reached, registration will close. If you’ve been considering attending, now is the time to secure your place.

Move beyond simply placing fixtures and learn how to think like a lighting designer. You’ll develop the ability to conceptualize complete lighting plans, design with intention, shape mood through direction and intensity, and create cohesive environments that feel purposeful and refined.

Gain hands-on experience specifying fixtures appropriately, installing and documenting low-voltage systems correctly, managing power strategically, and applying maintenance best practices that ensure long-term performance. You’ll leave knowing not just what to do, but why you’re doing it.

Work closely with experienced mentors and alongside peers who are equally committed to excellence. The collaborative environment encourages real-time feedback, shared problem-solving, and meaningful industry connections that continue long after the course ends.
