Residential Lighting Technologies and Techniques Seminar
Residential Lighting Technologies and Techniques is three one-day seminars to help builders, contractors, architects and other professionals to select and install efficient lighting technologies, such as LEDs. Participants will handle actual lighting products (bulbs, fixtures, controls) to learn how these products operate, are interconnected, and are installed; and redesign existing lighting plans to increase efficiency, and estimate costs and energy savings.
