- What is a driver
- The differences among various LED power circuit types (Constant voltage, constant current, etc.)
- How LED are switched
- How LED are dimmed
- What is a dimming driver
- What is a dimming adaptor
- Control signaling (phase control, DMX-512, DALI, Ecosystem, 0-10 volt, etc)
- LED controls in new installations
- LED controls in existing installations
- Case stories: LED controls in common LED installations
- Using NECA NEIS 504 as a guide to planning and installing LED controls
Fee: $145
