Why Can’t I Have a 15amp Toggle Switch? The better question is “why do you want one?” We will explore why controls continue to be increasingly complicated. Does it really require a degree in electrical engineering to program these systems or a fifth grader with a cell phone? Today, one lighting control touch screen has more computing power than the computer that took the Apolo 11 spacecraft to the moon. We will examine trends and codes for controls as they relate to the current workplace. This is not a power point presentation with a talking head, Bueller? Bueller?
