Lutron and URC have teamed to offer top-quality, simple, scalable lighting solutions that operate directly from any of URC’s current controllers, with no interface required. The products are easy to specify and program, and clients can even change scene levels themselves, without the need for costly truck rolls. This session will show installers how to specify and program URC lighting control and add more profit to their jobs in the process.
  
  
• Complete Control Programming for Everyone (Wednesday, March 11, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; Thursday, March 12, 8:00 to 9:30 a.m.): By learning to program system controls, installers who are new to the custom world gain a sure way to increase profits while delighting their customers. Using the powerful color URC MX-880 as an example, this class will impart proper techniques and encourage the development of good habits for efficiently and effectively programming URC’s most popular controllers.
