Steve Maurer, IME

Well, it was really about 40 years ago and around 700 miles from where I'm sitting right now. Anyway, I was employed by a water softener company in northern Indiana.

Chuck Ross

When dimming technology first came to the mass market in the early 1960s, ambience-setting was a major motivator.

Then in the 1970s and 1980s, energy savings became a big sales driver, as lower light levels helped to drive down rising utility costs.

Steve Maurer, IME
