Landscape lighting professionals and irrigation contractors can elevate their skills, knowledge, credentials and marketability by attending one of Kichler’s Certified Landscape Lighting Training Seminars. By attending one of the two-day training course options available, attendees ranging from novice landscape lighting specialists to industry veterans will gain hands-on experience with LED lighting layouts, designs and installations.
During the classes, attendees discuss the basics of lighting installation, learn the differences between incandescent and LED systems, and discover how wattage and beam spread are selected. Fundamentals of electrical and voltage differences are also covered. Additionally, contractors will learn about the benefits of Kichler’s award-winning, energy-efficient Design Pro LED technology, including how to sell it, install it and how it can help grow their business.
Ron Carter, Kichler’s corporate trainer and conductor of the landscape lighting training classes, says the seminars help professionals advance or increase their number of services, and therefore increase their revenues. “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,” Carter said.
