Lighting control is the next big trend and this course delivers a solid foundation for residential technicians/integrators, builders, contractors, real estate professionals, and equipment manufacturers. The different components of lighting control are presented, as well as important safety considerations, standards, and codes that must be followed during installation. Students learn about lighting control features, fixture and lamp options, the different methods of control – wired, wireless, PLC, Zigbee and Z-Wave, and more. Finally, testing and troubleshooting methodologies are provided to ensure a successful installation. This course emphasizes practical skills to prepare the student to work in the field on lighting projects and is ideal for anyone who needs to understand the technical aspects of system design, installation, and programming and install modern lighting technology.
Informative text and detailed color diagrams teach precisely what students need to know to successfully install lighting systems. Supplemental In-Depth articles provide deeper background and technical information on critical topics, and Project Management Tips coach technicians on good installation practices. An online Glossary provides instant access to definitions of key terms.
The course is divided into 12 training modules – each module ends with a quiz, and a comprehensive test at the end of the course allows students to demonstrate their knowledge of lighting control. Students can take the course at their own pace, picking up where they leave off at their convenience.
