Universal Lighting Technologies Inc. is offering a Sign and Outdoor Solutions course through its Universal University online education program.
This course aims to provide an overview of the outdoor lighting market, discusses the magnetic to electronic conversion, offers comprehensive product solutions, discusses common applications and provides resources for additional information.
“There are a lot of questions following the U.S. Department of Energy decision to phase out magnetic sign products, and we want installers to know there are simple solutions on the market,” said Susan Phillips, director of marketing at Universal Lighting Technologies. “Universal helps you convert from magnetic to electronic with product solutions that are compliant with regulations, including the benefits of increased efficiency, universal input voltage, and parallel lamp operation.”
The push for increased efficiency has contributed to an emerging line of LED sign products. This growth is supported by the reliability of Universal’s in-house LED design and experience in ballast and driver North American manufacturing.
The new Universal University course introduces enrollees to sign and outdoor solutions, presents installation example videos, and outlines the advantages of LED technology including energy efficiency, longer lifespan, color consistency and dimming functionality.
Universal University currently offers nine educational courses, free to lighting professionals, covering a variety of topics related to lighting solutions and LED replacement options. The courses are shared via BlueVolt, an online education interface. To learn more about Universal University or to view course options, visit here.
