1.0 LU|HSW CEU
This session includes a one-hour CEU presentation plus a two-hour interactive workshop that will enable participants to apply concepts learned.
The one-hour seminar will introduce the fundamental concepts, technologies, and design strategies behind modern residential lighting controls. Attendees will explore how indoor lighting systems combine aesthetics, comfort, and energy performance through control technologies such as dimmers, sensors, timers, and smart networked devices.
The seminar will serve as a focused prelude to a hands-on workshop, ensuring a common understanding of system components, terminology, wiring, communication, and the logic behind lighting controls. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications on how to select and implement lighting and lighting controls that meet user needs.
The two-hour interactive workshop that follows will give participants the opportunity to apply lighting controls concepts through real-world exercises, using common indoor residential control systems. Working in small groups, attendees will assemble, configure, and troubleshoot control devices to create a functional system that addresses typical residential lighting requirements.
Participants will explore wiring methods, device pairing, and control logic through guided scenarios that simulate common residential challenges which balance performance, aesthetics, and logistics. Each activity is designed to reinforce system understanding while encouraging experimentation with multiple control strategies, from simple wallbox dimming to app-based automation.
By the end of the session, attendees will have completed a fully operational indoor control setup and gained the confidence to identify, coordinate, and verify residential lighting control solutions in the field.
