[QUOTE="Luke Hanson, post: 422781, member: 27934"] Hi Guys, Thanks so much for the quick reply's. really appreciate that. A lot of sales people in the industry don't understand electrics, I imagine both of you know this from talking to wholesalers to lighting manufacturers. I am very confident with my knowledge of wiring all different types of LED lighting and understand the wiring concepts for control systems very well however where i struggle is the concepts of working out the cable sizes required for installations, Issues like Voltage drop and working out what cable size you need to power a certain load. All of this info would help me be a better sales technician. I can advise people all day everyday on what they need to do to wire an LED and how this is done and also what power supplies are needed however its the backbone of lighting that I wish to learn more on. If i don't need to do the full electrical course to learn this info then great. The idea of doing electrics on the weekends (for extra money) was the other reason why i was requesting advice. You say this is a lot of pain lol. When you say pain do you mean time? or literally a bad career choice? Thanks, Luke [/QUOTE]
