What about China? Do you know how globalization and tariffs factor into those broader trends?

I'm an avid lighting enthusiast who works with and studies ballasts, ignitors and lighting optics while identifying various models and manufacturers of electric lighting. I am actively studying particle physics and seek to understand the mechanics of a photon.

Wow! How did your brain do that so young? I was first inclined to fluorescents, incandescents and halogen bulbs in my house and I even broke a few fluorescent tubes in the garage on accident without my parents knowledge. The only bulb I couldn't touch was the CFL, my parents refused to let me play with that. Understandable, CFLs pose minor safety risks primarily because they contain about 3 to 5 milligrams of toxic mercury vapor and can  overheat at the end of their lifespan. What were your first favorite bulbs as a child?
