This new SHINEpro course introduces custom integrators to electrical fundamentals essential for modern residential technology projects. The curriculum covers voltage, current, power relationships, and circuit analysis through practical integration examples.

Topics include Ohm’s Law calculations, voltage drop assessment, conductor sizing, power factor basics, and service panel evaluation. Participants learn to read electrical specifications, coordinate circuit requirements with electricians, and identify when electrical upgrades are needed for technology installations.

As homes adopt electric vehicle chargers, battery systems, and higher-power equipment, integrators increasingly encounter electrical challenges that impact project success. This course provides the foundational knowledge to participate confidently in electrical planning discussions and avoid common installation problems.

Successful completion earns the SHINEpro Intelligent Power Systems Fundamentals Certificate.

This new SHINEpro course covers essential control protocols used in residential lighting systems. The curriculum examines phase dimming (forward and reverse), 0-10V analog control, DALI-2 digital protocol, and DMX integration for custom lighting installations.

Topics include dimming compatibility between fixtures and controls, protocol selection for different applications, addressing and configuration requirements, and troubleshooting communication issues. Participants learn when each protocol is appropriate, how to specify compatible components, and common integration challenges.

Modern lighting control systems increasingly rely on digital protocols for precise control and system feedback. Understanding these communication methods enables integrators to design reliable lighting systems, resolve compatibility issues, and coordinate effectively with lighting designers and electrical contractors.

Successful completion earns the SHINEpro Lighting Control Protocol Fundamentals Certificate.
