Student Membership

The STLD is all about supporting new lighting talent, and thanks to our industry sponsors, students can now join for free! If you're in full-time education, you get the same access as our professional members—meaning invites to our events, chances to meet industry pros, and a real look inside the TV world. Plus, you'll get exclusive discounts, online learning resources, industry news, and our ‘Set & Light’ magazine.
We know careers take time to grow, so we've got a tiered membership system that gradually increases over three years after you graduate, making it easier to stay part of the STLD as you build your career!
