"In the beginning we were actually provided a sales lead from another company that brought us onto the project to complete the installation of the new lighting system at Pompton Lakes High School," began Bill Nelson, Nelson Enterprises. "As a retrofit installation, the new system consists primarily of all LED lighting instruments that would require multiple control channels. Together with the school, we looked at a number of different consoles on the market, but in the end we all decided that the NEO lighting control console would be the best fit for the application.
With the lighting control decision now made, Nelson and his team got to work installing the NEO, but even before they could do so, the students were already taking the time to educate themselves.
He explained, "Before the school actually received the console, we had the faculty and students take a look at the Philips Strand Lighting website to familiarize themselves with the NEO operating system and features. They were also able to watch the product videos on You Tube, speak with product specialist Bobby Harrell and even participate in his webinars. Once the console was onsite, they seemed to have a great understanding of what the NEO could do and they really picked up on the programming language on their own. The NEO lighting control console is very easy to operate and it really solidified for us that we had made the right choice."
