Welcome to LightingDir.com
The website of Richard Bowles
Hello and welcome
This site is all about the Lighting work Richard Bowles has undertaken, most of which has been for Broadcast Television in the UK, along with a significant amount of Live Events (i.e. Concerts, Corporates, etc) across the UK, Europe, and elsewhere. Oh, and some Films.
