Listen Later

You’ve heard him on Monday mornings. You’ve seen his work quarterly. We pull back the curtain on Scott Wachter to take a look behind the scenes at his work on the Lighting Industry News Brief, Today’s Lighting Distributor, and The Darkness News Update (on RestoringDarkness.com).

 

Beyond his work as the best-informed person in the lighting industry, he’s part of the content management team; keeping the social feeds up to date, co-authoring Today’s Lighting Distributor, developing courses for LS Evolve, the recent revamp of LS-2, and developing the new DS-1 course. 

Other notable things about Scott:

  • Has never sold a lamp or fixture.
  • Wrote his senior thesis on the value of apologies in situations of bad moral luck.
  • His recent, unrelated podcast The Recap from Mercury was the Number 1 on the Apple Podcasts Animation Charts in Brazil (top 20 in Japan).
  • He once entered a stand-up comedy contest as it was running because the other comics were so bad, improvising a winning 5-minute set.
  • He once got in a fistfight with a bouncer at the bar he worked at.
  • Scott was once threatened with a lawsuit over cupcake recipes.
  • He makes the best gin gimlet you have ever had.

  • His favorite color is blue.
  • He has the nicest hair in NAILD.
  • He should probably get a new headshot; this one is 11 years old.
