A '''lighting control console''' (also called a '''lightboard''', '''lighting board''', or '''lighting desk''') is an electronic device used in theatrical [[lighting designer|lighting design]] to control multiple [[stage lighting|lights]] at once. They are used throughout the entertainment industry and are normally placed at the [[front of house]] (FOH) position or in a [[Control booth (theater)|control booth]].<ref name=BluePlanet>{{cite web|title=LIGHTING CONSOLES|url=http://www.prolightingsupply.com/lico.html|work=Blue Planet: Entertainment Stage Lighting|publisher=Blue Planet Lighting|
All lighting control consoles can control [[dimmer]]s which control the intensity of the lights. Many modern consoles can control [[Intelligent lighting]] (lights that can move, change colors and [[Gobo (lighting)|gobo patterns]]), [[fog machine]]s and [[Haze machine|hazers]], and other special effects devices. Some consoles can also interface with other electronic performance hardware (i.e. [[Mixing console|sound boards]], [[Video projector|projectors]], [[media server]]s, automated [[Winch|winches]] and motors, etc.) to improve synchronization or unify their control.

Various manufacturers offer software for devices such as [[Android (operating system)|Android]] and [[IPhone|iPhones]] that cause the devices to act as remote controllers for their consoles. Also, independent software developers have released applications that can send [[Art-Net]] packets from an iPhone, thus enabling an iPhone to serve as a fully featured console when used in conjunction with an Art-Net to DMX converter or Art-Net compatible luminaries and dimmers. An example of this is ETC's (electronic theater controls) app called iRFR for Apple devices or aRFR for Android devices.
The ''Controller Interface Transport Protocol'', or ''CITP'', is a [[network protocol]] used between visualizers, lighting control consoles and [[media server]]s to [[Data transmission|transport]] non-show critical information during [[pre-production]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Claiborne|first1=Vickie|title=Media Servers for Lighting Programmers: A Comprehensive Guide to Working with Digital Lighting|date=4 February 2014|publisher=CRC Press|isbn=9781317938224|pages=101–104|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tPrJAgAAQBAJ&q=CITP+protocol&pg=PT119|
