It was always looming, and now the day has finally arrived. You can’t sell any more incandescent lamps (with VERY few exceptions). Is it going to bring down energy consumption? Is it going to create a lot of waste? Is it going to be a problem in some businesses? In this episode, Chris Siegal from Satco addresses these and many more questions and concerns. Chris is the 4th generation in the lighting business, starting with his family’s company, Supreme Ltg., a manufacturer of incandescent lamps in SC. Followed by 6 years with SLi Lighting after acquiring Supreme in 1999. With cousin Gary Siegal, he started Hygrade Lamp Company in 2005, which was then acquired by Satco Products in 2008. Now at Satco for 15 years, Chris has been responsible for managing the Satco brand portfolio of traditional lamps and their transition to LED, overseeing the product development, compliance and purchasing of their ever-expanding line of LED lamps and Downlights. Chris is the Satco representative to NEMA and is currently serving as the Vice Chair of the Light Source Section.
