Networked Lighting

Join us to review the current developments in the field of networked lighting – particularly the newest approaches to lighting system controls. The combination of newer lighting products with advanced computer-based controls provides companies with powerful tools to reduce the operating cost of their lighting systems while providing improved lighting
quality.

The workshop will provide a hands-on demonstration of the networked controls, allowing you to go beyond a theoretical understanding of the newest available technology. You will hear the success stories of companies that have implemented advanced lighting controls, and discover the available financing options.
