The VLI celebrated its grand opening in August of 2007 as part of a strategic plan to offer industry professionals an opportunity to learn the technology behind metal halide lamp and ballast systems. Training classes have been offered to Venture Lighting representatives, lighting designers, electrical engineers, distributors and contractors. Over 500 individuals have been trained in the VLI.
The VLI is a 3,200 square foot training facility that uses our 65,000 square foot Streetsboro, distribution center to showcase lighting products, trends and industry leading luminaries. Venture strives to partner with the best lighting companies in the world to demonstrate choices in metal halide lighting design.
Our strategy is to offer education on lighting solutions, not just metal halide lamp and ballast systems. Beginning with our certified training staff, the VLI will offer several key lighting design courses throughout the year to reveal better lighting design by implementing the newest technology available while maintaining a focus on legislative and industry standards supporting the green movement.
The VLI provides qualified, informative programs that are a foundation of knowledge to assist in your professional lighting endeavors. The VLI program curriculum meets the qualification standards for professional development hours and learning units. The Venture Institute classes are recognized by professional organizations such as IESNA, AIA and NCQLP.
Join us at one our VLI classes and reap the benefit of becoming an educated decision-maker for metal halide lighting systems.
