my family owns a stage/audio/lighting company, so i know what you mean. we provide things like this for big events and concerts. most of our employees have taken summer or night courses at local colleges about lighting and production. there are also books about this subject. the best way to get experience is to try to contact people that are in this business. by talking to people that have been doing lighting for concerts and television, you not only gain knowledge about the subject but you also get a foot in the door, so to speak. i would recommend looking in the yellow pages for companies that do this type of work (believe me, there are some), and calling them up and talking to the people there. i don't know if you want to go to work right away, but if you interview for a job and show a genuine interest in lighting, then the company might hire you and pay for your schooling. it kind of depends on your work ethic and the way you present yourself. books and websites will give you a better idea about this career path, but the best way to learn about lighting is to get out there and talk to the people that have been doing that kind of thing all their lives.

Well, if you are looking for an education path you can go a few ways, into radio and television arts or film, but if you want to design for bands or fashion shows or live presentations you would be better to find a theatre program that had a lighting design specialty. Lighting for television and lighting for movies both use the same technology but in totally different ways. Although a lot of people learn to do both, but it's easiest to find training in one and then learn the other.
These websites have a ton of information on lighting design for the stage: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
In film the person in charge of lighting design is generally called the Director of Photography. Check this out for a description of that job: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Even if movies is your end goal, see if you can volunteer with your local stage crew or community theater, that's a great way to learn about the fixtures and physics you'll need to know later on.
Good Luck.
