Our Accelerated BKU Class kicked things off at the factory on Thursday, August 2nd, with a welcome dinner and our Outdoor Lighting Techniques, which showcases various lighting techniques in situ. 

Similar to our full program, attendees were welcomed to the facility the next morning per a traditional BKU orientation. The day progressed through the time-honored classes from Dare to Compare to the ever popular New Product Showcase. Attendees had the hands-on experience as students learned about as well as made their very own Nite Star™ with Adjust-e-Lume® technology. From machining the body to learning about gluing the cap, nothing was left out. 

Of course, the Accelerated BKU session is small for a reason. 

“Very concise, small group of designers allow targeted information to be disseminated efficiently!” said Jack Lim, Senior Lighting Designer at ARUP in San Francisco, CA.

• •  Jack Lim, ARUP - San Francisco, CA
• •  Leslie Siegel, Associated Lighting Representatives, Inc. - Oakland, CA

Congratulations to our newest graduates! 

Traditionally, BKU Sessions are held over four-day periods in March and November. But, we have had so many requests for factory tours and product training that we decided to offer a scaled down version that would take no longer than one full day.
