With Michael & Greg
1/22/24 – Lighting Episode 341 (Full Version) – Michael & Greg 31:33
Another short one with Michael and Greg. In this episode, our hosts discuss the phases of a career in lighting distribution. The first phase had Greg going everywhere looking for dead light bulbs or broken lenses just to get a supply business going. Michael’s story is similar except he did it on Rollerblades. Buy some inline skates and get your business going!

I’m a new lighting lifer. I’m just starting my 3rd year in lighting as a new hire specification sales coming from a distributor. I really appreciate these podcasts. Everyone that I meet has been in the lighting industry 20, 30, 40 years.
Integrated LED fixtures seem to like a subscription service. You can’t just replace a bulb. Why would anyone want to pair up that outcome with mudding into a ceiling? Do you think there will be a course correction in downlights?
