Italian term or phrase: regia
"Una **regia** luminosa originariamente supportata dalla finestra collocata poco al di sopra del braccio sinistro, ove proviene il colpo di luce".

Only appears once in the text and I cannot find it in dictionaries. However, I have found it in other Googled texts:

LE PERROQUET - un sistema a sospensione che rappresenta i risultati migliori della Ditta.
Il corpo dell`apparecchio e` realizzato con tecnologia "mista" in pressofusione di alluminio e materiale termoplastico. Le Perroquet e` disponibile in quattro differenti dimensioni del corpo - proiettore. Vasta la scelta di accessori disponibili: alette direzionali, schermi wall washer, filtri IR, lenti Fresnel e vetri colorati, per garantire un'adeguata **regia** luminosa. Le Perroquet sospensione nasce originariamente per rispondere ai problemi di illuminazione nei lavori di ristrutturazione del Beaubourg (di Parigi) riaperto al pubblico il 14/01/2000.

lighting design


Explanation:
The way the painter created the lighting arrangement to illuminate the figures/objects in the painting. For me, there is a connotation of the artist's masterly orchestration of the light, more than just their technical prowess.

Lighting arrangement


Explanation:
I suggest this based on the use of 'regia' for the idea of direction and organisation of the lighting. This is quite a common collocation of words.

regia luminosa
direction of the light beam


Explanation:
Trovato Dépliant bilingue, tradotto da un collega. Credo ti possa esser molto utile anche per tutto il tuo contesto. In basso il link del Pdf.

Kosmo può essere ruotato rispetto all’asse orizzontale fino ad un’ampiezza di 355º, di 60º verso l’alto e di 90º verso il basso rispetto all’asse verticale. Tali regolazioni consentono di gestire al meglio la *regia luminosa*.

Kosmo can be adjusted up to 355° with respect to the horizontal axis, 60° upwards and 90° downwards with respect
to the vertical axis. These regulations allow to
adjust the *direction of the light beam*.

Un saluto a tutti
Francesca
