Today, while shopping for lights, the shopkeeper was amazed how well versed I was I lighting. Even the officials of brands like philips and osram couldn't give as much information about the lamps as I could. I was even invited to a meeting about lighting ;D !
Lesson of the day- you will find the right person with patience.

Nothing has ever really challenged to me, I don't lie and say that I'm not interested in lights, but I just don't bring it up.

I have gotten some funny looks on the bus carrying an Eleco post top, but nothing serious lol.

I never bring up the context of lighting to the public, due to that in the days that we live we will find someone that will make fun of you for this, and will do it untill your just tired and dead of it (I know what I'm talking about). I just don't talk about it, I keep it private. Only people from my family,  or someone who I strongly trust and know him / them for a long time.

As well, I know that people on this platform that I don't know well will see me talking about lighting, but this is a lighting platform  :mrg:
