The stage illumination problem presented by Urrutia in 1992 is one of illumination problems, which uses floodlights for illuminating a stage. The problem asks whether or not it is possible to rotate given floodlights around their apexes so as to obtain a final configuration such that a given stage is completely illuminated. The problem for finding a polynomial time algorithm for this problem or proving NP-hardness of this problem was open. This paper shows that it is NP-complete even with some restrictions.
