A New Approach to Lighting Controls: Low Voltage Course

1 LU AIA/HSW/SD

Today we are going to learn about a totally new approach to lighting controls that take full advantage of LEDs - a clean, green and efficient light source that is gaining traction quickly. The technology is based on using low voltage DC current to both power and control the LED fixtures. The result is a super-efficient system that saves more energy than traditional lighting controls, is more reliable and flexible, and provides a network of sensors that deliver additional value through smart building applications. This course is registered for 1 HSW/SD hour with AIA and for 1 GBCI CMP hour. Take the course.
