Survey Shows Electrical Contractors Making More LED Recommendations – But Still Looking for LED Education

A recent survey of electrical and lighting contractors showed that contractors are involved in recommending LED lighting more than 70% of the time, demonstrating their importance in the specifying and recommendation of LED lighting products for building projects.

However, a majority of respondents said they are still looking for LED education – a need that NECA 2009 Seattle can meet!

The pre-convention workshop How LED Technology Can Change Your Business on Friday, Sept. 11, offers participants hands-on instruction using product samples, ROI calculations, product application guides for indoor and outdoor usage, comparative pricing, and information regarding tax incentives and rebates.

Led by Tom Hamilton from Philips Color Kinetics, a pioneer of intelligent LED illumination technologies, the half-day workshop will demonstrate how LED technology allows electrical contractors to deliver energy savings, longevity, and maintenance savings to their customers – the top concerns cited in the survey.
