Episode 424: #330 - Amateur Lighting Industry Historian

Get A Grip On Lighting Podcast

Something a little different on Get A Grip On Lighting. Frank brings us some fascinating episodes in history related to light, everything from the origins of the traffic light, to the invention of the Lite Brite toy. Did you know the first President to have electric lights in the White House was afraid to touch the switches? There is much more like this in Frank’s incredibly interesting blog, Radiant History (www.radianthistory.com). Frank has spent over 30 years in the lighting industry working for architectural lighting and specialty lighting manufacturers. He started in the business in 1992 with Litetronics. After 10 years with them he went to work for Ushio America helping run their architectural and entertainment lighting divisions for just under 18 years. In 2019 he started his own media marketing company called Red Mouse Media and has consulted with Plusrite and Naturaled ever since he started Red Mouse. This past summer Frank created Radiant History, a blog that explores the illuminating history of the lighting industry and takes readers on a captivating journey into our lighted world.
