Hands-on Electrical and Modern Lighting Workshop
This course is focused on providing a deep knowledge in vehicle electrical circuits along with comprehensive testing of Battery, Starting, and Charging. The participant will be presented with wiring diagrams to perform proper analysis of varied circuits controlled mechanically, conventionally and utilizing more modern logic program control (solid-state) components. Today’s headlight bulbs have evolved from simple filaments to complex HID, LED, and laser designs. Headlights must provide enough light at highway speeds to ensure the safety of the driver but at the same time cannot blind oncoming traffic. Nanotechnology has led to LED micromirror designs that were not possible in the earlier years of the automobile. This course will explore new headlight designs, and break down the differences between Candelas, lumens, watts, Kelvin, and pixels. This course covers generic headlight aiming procedures and DOT regulations. We have also included a section on headlight control systems which illustrates the complex design used in late model vehicles. Gain confidence in how best to utilize your multimeter and all of its different functions. Perform real world testing and learn what the results mean. Understand the benefits of performing voltage drop testing versus open circuit resistance testing. Become familiar with Ohm’s Law and see where it falls short. Understand basic and more advanced electrical theories. Recognize the Personal Protection Equipment needed and understand the correct procedures and applications. Modern Lighting Overview Modern Lighting/Adaptive Headlights Modern Lighting Testing Modern Lighting Controls Aiming Headlights Diagnostics
