The Lighting Controls Academy has published a video version of EE101: Introduction to Lighting Controls, a free course available at YouTube.
A good lighting design is incomplete without a good controls design. Controls may be simple or highly sophisticated, but every control system can be defined by the same fundamentals: inputs, outputs, programming, communication, and sequence of operations.
In this video course, fundamental lighting controls concepts are introduced, such as inputs, outputs, and basic controls operations, followed by more sophisticated concepts such as common control strategies, zoning, system architecture, communication methods, documentation, startup, and evaluation of manufacturer solutions.
By the end of this course, you will be able to: 1) identify and select common lighting control strategies, 2) recognize and select common lighting control devices, 3) compare basic system types, and 4) ask informed questions when evaluating lighting control systems.
Written by Craig DiLouie and thoroughly updated and presented by C. Webster Marsh, this course is registered and/or recognized by CALCTP, NLCAA, NCQLP (LC), NALMCO (CLCP), DLC, and the State of California.
