    Unit 4: Expected Flow Profiles and Troubleshooting

    The first two chapters in this unit describe typical flow profiles from most lighting applications. Because every application has its own particular details, these are simply guidelines that can be used to assess if the results appear to be "correct."

    • Wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and pole-mounted / test box configurations
    • Ground-Based

    The final section describes several commonly-made mistakes that users have made in the past.
