Electro-mechanical lighting control is still very relevant. Who might be interested in lighting control? Persons of many different backgrounds and roles bear responsibility for aspects of lighting and its control. Reputation, outcomes, and tasks may improve if they have an idea “how lighting controls look” and “how lighting controls work.”
The information in this course covers "the big picture" down to some screw terminal detail. It is intended that everybody learn something, whatever their background or skill level. It is not intended for everybody to learn everything.
What is unique about this course? This author prepared text, elementary diagrams, and a Lighting Control Panel schedule for this course. Drawings linework features various widths, styles, and colors to help students trace wiring. Information is presented in a manner similar to facility construction documents, showing components, "description of function," and related drawings.
