In this spirited episode of Get a Grip on Lighting, hosts dive deep into the highs and hiccups of the LSC training held in Dallas — a hands-on lighting controls certification course that left attendees saying, "It hurt good." 

 

🔥 Highlights Include: 

  • Insights from course creators Webster Marsh, Ron Kuszmar, and Chris O'Shea as they reflect on what worked and what evolved. 
  • Emphasis on hands-on learning over theory, adapting curriculum in real-time to meet student needs. 
  • Big takeaway? Lighting controls education is vital — and the industry is yearning for it. 

 

🧠 Why This Matters: 

  • The training emphasized real-world scenarios, offering immediate value to distributors and techs. 
  • Students learned how to translate lighting control drawings into actionable installations — often for the first time. 
  • The importance of legacy systems and maintaining older dimmer panels stirred lively discussion, pointing to a massive opportunity in the controls space. 

 

🧾 Final Thoughts: 

  • Education in lighting controls is no longer optional—it’s essential. 
  • Plans for a second course (LS-C II) to dig deeper into legacy tech and advanced integration.
