Lighting affects our performance and with lighting technology's dramatic advancements in the past few years, we all need to better understand it. It is cheaper to create long-lasting light now but could this mean too much of a good thing?I invited Craig Bowler of Home Depot Canada to shed light (I couldn't resist) on this topic. Craig is in charge of purchasing lighting and through weekly in-store customer experience really has the pulse on both lighting solutions and customer experience.In this episode, Craig and I explore the history of lighting and a bit of the evolution over the past 20 years. We explore what new lighting developments are on offer and how Home Depot can help you understand what they are. And we also explore some of where we think lighting ought to go. This knowledge opens up the field to have important conversations, which are useful for suppliers, customers, and especially those who are sensitive to light.CHAPTERS00:00:00 Intro00:04:30 The evolution of lighting00:11:10 General public awareness of lighting00:14:45 The right type of light  00:16:30 The history of LED lighting00:18:09   Upgrading lighting at home00:24:30  Continually upgrading 00:26:30  Should lights be left on 24/7?00:27:45  Light pollution00:29:44  Keeping light pollution at a minimum00:31:31   Making more thoughtful choices00:34:39  Educating the consumer on lighting00:38:29  Keeping it friendly for customers00:42:32   Bright LED lights in cars00:45:30  Home Depot Canada lighting selectionLINKSFor active links, visit www.clarekumar.com/podcastHome Depot CanadaDyson Solarcycle Morph™ Desk lightDark Sky LegislationOntario Building Codef.luxAMA adopts guidance to reduce harm from high intensity street lightsDr. Samer HattarSeasonal Affective DisorderHappyLight® Lumi light therapy lampStellantisIMAGE CREDITS (see images on Youtube video)Led lights - credit Clare KumarAdjustable lighting temperatures - credit...
