Case Study: Western Lighting achieves 100% higher trainee engagement and revitalizes product training with Kahoot!

Western Lighting brought a fun spark to product training for contractors, distributors, and electricians

Western Lighting, a leading lighting and controls agency in Southern California representing manufacturers like Lutron and Cree, needed a way to deliver accessible, effective product training to contractors, distributors and electricians with widely varying backgrounds and levels of prior knowledge — often during long 4–8 hour sessions. To solve this, they adopted Kahoot!, using its polls, quizzes and surveys across their regular training events to assess understanding and keep sessions lively.

By integrating Kahoot! into warm-ups, knowledge checks and end-of-day recaps, Western Lighting made trainings interactive, easy to personalize, and suitable for all experience levels; they also incentivize play with small prizes to boost participation. The results with Kahoot! have been strong: trainee feedback is very positive, the company’s reputation among participants has improved, and engagement has increased 100% since adopting the platform, helping sustain attention and comprehension across about ten trainings a month.
