Abstract: The earliest version of lighting control was simply a valve on a gas line, and since the introduction of that rudimentary control system, the ability to control lighting has evolved considerably. Modern systems not only control dimmers, but also direct moving lights, cue specific special effects, and can run entire events without a human operator. Although we have moved well beyond gas valves and their kin, it is important to remember the earliest control schemes in order to understand the progress of the system over the years and to try to keep current as the speed of evolution accelerates.
