On April 26th 30 dealers in Los Angeles gathered to learn about Lutron HomeworksQS product updates.Homeworks QS is Lutron's most powerful residential system that enables users to integrate interior and exterior lighting, audio-visual equipment, HVAC, and other broader control of the home environment. 

"This particular training event was very interactive," said Kevin Berg Residential Specialist for Western Lighting & Energy Controls. "Integrators brought live plans to the class so we were able to walk out of the class working solutions that could immediately be applied to the job in question."

"We encourage all of our clients and prospective clients to reach out to us with project challenges." continued Berg, "Western Lighting & Energy Controls has a highly trained team of people who can help apply their expertise and experience to individual project challenges."
