Hello, everyone! Thank you for creating such a wonderful resource of lighting fixtures. My grandfather, John Frier, worked at GE as a lighting applications engineer for decades, and he shared his passion for lighting with his kids and us grandkids. His 97th birthday party is this weekend, and my family decided we'd make it lighting-themed. I suggested we make a matching game for the party: match pictures of the fixtures from his time at GE to the names of the fixtures. I genuinely can't overstate how excited Mom and I were to find this incredibly well-organized forum, which let us search for exactly what we needed. (Mom also was happy to see the fixtures she wrote about when she did copyediting for GE--particularly the Powerfloods and the high-masts.)

My grandfather lit Wrigley Field (and other stadiums), the Statue of Liberty, the Hoover Dam, and the King of Morocco's golf course, and as a child, I was convinced he knew everything. I'm sure that he will still beat me on matching fixtures to names, even though he's been retired for thirty-some years.

Hey Claire, welcome to Lighting-Gallery! Hope you have a wonderful time here. It's great to hear your grandfather actually helped you get into lighting, that's a wonderful thing for him to have passed down.  Please do wish him a wonderful 97th birthday on our behalf🎂--that's a legendary feat to install lights on incredibly well known places like the Statue of Liberty. It's an honor to have you here. Are you or your mom into collecting lighting as well?

That's so cool!!
