Credit: 2 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: Lee Layton, P.E.
In Electric Lighting Design and Characteristics, you'll learn ...
- Basic physics of lighting
- Luminous flux vs intensity
- Characteristics of the various types of lamps, as well as their advantages and disadvantages
- Interior and exterior lighting design methods and examples
- Plus much more
Overview
This course covers the application of various forms of electric lighting and electric lighting applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial. We will cover the physics of light, the light spectrum, lumen calculation, and characteristics of major lighting sources, including incadescent, fluorescent, and LED lamps.
We will additionally work through the basics of designing a lighting system for residential, commercial, and area lighting, allowing the information to be placed into real-world context.
