Title: Professional Lighting Education, Eaton
Background: Cooper Lighting’s goal of providing leadership in lighting education and the creation of a showcase for technological advancements in the industry became a reality when The SOURCE opened in 1991 at the Elk Grove, Illinois facility. Ten years later Cooper Lighting expanded its commitment to the original goal by recreating The SOURCE at our new corporate headquarters in Peachtree City, Georgia, with a 35,000 sq. ft. state-of the-art facility. Cooper Lighting was the first luminaire manufacturer in the lighting industry to make such an extensive, long term commitment to the advancement of lighting education. The SOURCE sets the benchmark for lighting industry education facilities. The SOURCE continues to provide the highest standard of professional lighting education to the industry, serving lighting professionals for over sixteen years. To date, over 93,000 lighting specifiers, interior designers, architects, utilities, facility managers, retail planners, electrical contractors, energy saving companies, engineers, distributors, builders, landscape architects, university students and end-users have benefited from The SOURCE experience. The strength of The SOURCE lies in its staff, rich with education and professional diversity. Solid foundations in architecture, design, engineering, business and communications ensure that our dedicated team tailors their collective lighting knowledge to find solutions for your lighting needs. Attendees may choose from a variety of seminars and workshops utilizing live demonstrations and open discussions to broaden their lighting knowledge. Time spent learning in our Fundamentals and Technology area, product rooms and applications vignettes provides a deeper understanding of lighting performance, design, installation, controls, visual effects and energy issues. Functioning as the definitive form for lighting knowledge, this unique learning opportunity allows you to develop new capabilities and sharpen your existing skills.
