 In this electrifying episode of Get a Grip on Lighting, we sit down with Tom Kieffer of Service Lighting (aka LightBulbs.com)—a 40-year veteran who's still pushing boundaries and saving clients up to 85% on lighting costs. But this isn't just about retrofits and wattage. It's about honor, innovation, and rebellion.

 

💡 What’s Inside

  • Tom’s take on why most lighting design is broken—and how to fix it
  • The truth about wall packs (spoiler: “light pukers” 🚫)
  • Why the lighting industry needs to grow a pair and say NO to bad fixtures
  • A fiery debate on DLC, free fixture programs, and market fairness
  • The rise of Starry Skies North and the fight against light pollution
  • How NAILD is leading the charge on darkness restoration education
  • Real talk on lighting distributors, contractors, and who really knows lighting

    •  

    ⚡️ If you sell light bulbs, install fixtures, or care about the future of lighting—this one’s for you.
