In April of 2007, Holophane opened the highly anticipated new Light & Vision Center located in Granville, Ohio... just a few minutes' drive from the main manufacturing facility in Newark, Ohio.

This new facility, which replaces the previous L&V facility in Newark, is a larger and much improved setting with state-of-the-art training and presentation resources. The new L&V Center has increased seating capacity from 24 up to 40 students now, and in a much more spacious room.

In addition to the latest audio-visual and demonstration equipment, it also utilizes a variety of the best lighting products and controls that Holophane and Acuity Brands Lighting have to offer.

As you can see from the photos above, the new L&V Center is a spacious "auditorium" and provides a great deal of comfort for up to 40 students in an attractive, modern setting utilizing industry leading lighting, A/V equipment, and seating provisions.

From the inviting curved architectural styling and comfortable leather seating, down to the wireless networking and power boxes at each table, you'll find that each seat in the house is as comfortable and functional as a small office.

Your instructors will be some of the best engineers, scientists and product specialists in the industry today.

Instructors who not only have the academic knowledge of the lighting sciences, but also a "real-world" understanding of current technologies, products and customer needs.

Some of the L&V Seminars also feature special guest speakers that are highly respected in the lighting industry and bring a great outside perspective to the topics at hand.

The Holophane L&V lineup features over a dozen training dates per year with an average of eight different seminars to choose from... some of which are held twice per year.

In addition to the obvious benefit that such a high quality of training brings to you and your career growth, the Holophane seminars also qualify for a variety of industry certification credits and learning units such as AIA LUs. These AIA credits can be applied to PDHs for Engineers and LEUs for Lighting Professionals.
