Kichler Lighting has announced its lineup of upcoming Certified Landscape Lighting Training Seminars. The two-day training courses enable landscape lighting professionals and irrigation contractors to elevate their skills, knowledge, credentials and marketability.
Attendees will discuss the basics of lighting installation, learn the differences between incandescent and LED systems, and discover how wattage and beam spread are selected. The courses also cover the fundamentals of electrical and voltage differences. In addition, contractors will learn about the benefits of the company’s energy- efficient Design Pro LED technology, including how to sell it, install it and how it can help grow their business.
The seminars are designed to help professionals advance or increase their number of services, and therefore increase their revenues, according to Ron Carter, Kichler’s corporate trainer and conductor of the landscape lighting training classes. “By teaching them how to do these jobs the right way, we improve their design skills and enhance their ability to troubleshoot and repair jobs when something does go wrong,” he said.
The Hands-On LED Landscape Lighting Installation course is a hands-on LED landscape lighting seminar for professionals who want to increase their knowledge and involvement with low-voltage LED landscape lighting.
