Description
Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has revolutionized the lighting industry, prompting a widespread shift from traditional lighting sources such as incandescent, fluorescent, and HID lamps. This transformation presents new challenges and opportunities for selecting and evaluating LED lamps and luminaires. With a solid understanding of lighting terminology and technical specifications, participants will be well-equipped to navigate this evolving landscape. The transition to LED lighting is essential for improving energy efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing lighting quality in various environments.
In this course, you will explore fundamental lighting concepts, including the properties of light, lumens, lux, and photometry, as well as the role of LED drivers in powering modern luminaires. You will gain the knowledge necessary to assess and recommend lighting solutions that meet performance and compliance standards through detailed discussions on LED lamp performance, energy savings, and work environment considerations. Additionally, the course emphasizes the selection of luminaires based on lighting needs, cost-effectiveness, and ergonomic factors, enabling you to make informed decisions in various contexts.
Participants will be able to engage in exercises that apply real-world scenarios to help solidify key concepts. Special features include hands-on exercises that participants will solve and discuss during the course, enhancing comprehension through collaboration. Evaluation software will be provided to assist in luminaire performance analysis and selection. By request, participants will also have the chance to analyze case studies tailored to their specific projects, further reinforcing the practical applications of the course material.
