The Lighting Revolution Will Not Be Televised:
Practical LED Design For The Future & Beyond
1.0 HSW/SD LU Hours - Approved
1.0 USGBC CEU Hours - Approved
1.0 IDCEC CEU Hours - Approved

For years, professionals in the design community have been promised a lighting revolution through the technology of Light Emitting Diodes (LED). In recent years, significant advancements in performance and stricter energy codes have made this light source a viable option on many projects around the world. As with many new technologies, however, there is a great deal of misinformation about LED's in lighting and a great deal of un-trust about what designers are actually getting with this revolutionary light source. The goal of this presentation is to clearly explain the technologies behind LED light sources and how they operate in a lighting fixture. In addition, attendees will learn how designers can use this technology in appropriate ways today to not only conserve energy, but create impactful projects that interact with other sustainable technologies. Finally, participants will look at where LED lighting fixtures are going and how designers can prepare their buildings to incorporate the technology moving in the future. The course will feature a combination of multimedia presentations and hands on product for participants to work with.
