Episode 520: #424 - Right to Repair Crisis


Listen Later

Michael Colligan and Greg Ehrich declare a full-blown crisis in the lighting industry’s “right to repair.” From inaccessible drivers screwed into joists to obsolete Cat5 control systems and $300 can lights that can't be fixed, the guys expose the absurdity of modern lighting design. Real-world stories from schools, churches, and health clubs reveal how LED upgrades have turned into long-term liabilities.

 

💡 Topics Covered:

  • Why customers are buying double fixtures just to stock backups
  • The nightmare of replacing drivers buried in ceilings
  • The rise and fall of Cat5-based lighting controls
  • How “lighting as a service” might actually make sense now
  • The emotional toll of unrepairable lighting systems

  • "You literally have to cut the ceiling out to fix the light." — Michael Colligan
