The bulb is not an isolated thing you can swap in and out freely. The fixture has its own electronics. The dimmer has its own technology. The driver has its own quality or lack thereof. It's a system. And if you treat it like a grab bag, you get a grab bag's worth of problems.

The first of 4 episodes discussing lighting. Power source, flicker, spectrum.

On the cultural reflex to name things before understanding them — and what the label is actually giving you.

Why the most powerful thing a funded healthcare system does isn't deliver care — it's decide what "care" means.

The story behind the name FATSKN — and why failing at one thing first is the only reason the next thing worked.
