Solid state lighting control is a critical component
of many lighting designs. The variety of possible
control approaches can be confusing and a bit
overwhelming.
The goal of this presentation is to demystify the
control vocabulary and provide a better
understanding of the positive and negative
implications of using each of the various
approaches to solid state dimming.
Attendees will learn the different approaches and technologies
involved with control of solid state products and the associated
terminology
Attendees will learn the positive and negative aspects to each
approach
Attendees will learn the cost/install implications of each approach
Attendees will learn the basics of building a network for building
control
Attendees will learn code compliance requirements as applied to
controls
