Fellow Electrical Contractor Magazine columnist Stan Shook contributed a column on estimating titled, “Controlling Light,” which begins:
Today’s lighting control systems (LCS) are more elaborate and high-tech than ever. The once-simple systems consisting of a few low-voltage switches, a small lighting control panel (LCP) and a time clock now involve special ballasts and relays, motion and daylight sensors, photocells, dimmers, scene controllers, and more than one panel. Those complex components are connected and integrated and operate in concert with each other. And yes, they still have a few of those low-voltage switches.
For estimators, it’s not a matter of just counting what is shown. You have to know whether what is shown is complete. If not, you need to know how to complete it.
