I think "light bridge" means a catwalk for the lighting hands.

Operational requirements seems to refer to the number of personnel needed, but it could be other things too - I just take this to mean the general level of effort and staffing.

Describing modeling light as "embarrassing in some situations" seems peculiar to me, but a well known problem of live TV lighting is getting the lights OK for all the positions that the actors may take, without moving the lights; as opposed to motion picture practice, where the lights are readjusted for each shot.
