I'd like to share lighting plans with my crew -- what software exists for creating lighting plans? What are the pros/cons to the different packages?
I've been using Microsoft Visio, but there must be a better app for this.

This is a different site than lightingdiagrams.com. They seem to have more backgrounds, lights and so forth than lightingdiagram without-the-s.com – MikeW Feb 16 '12 at 07:30

lightingdiagrams.com also offer a free-for-personal-use download of a PSD for photoshop which contains elements like you see below. These are each on separate layers so you can easily arrange them. There is also a version for PS Elements. A good option if you have photoshop and want to work offline or add your own elements.
