In this special edition of Get A Grip On Lighting, super-fan Peter Ma drops in the studio to chat with Michael. Peter, a long time listener, came by to meet Michael and to see the studio. But Peter is in the business, so he and Michael talk about how his parents went from manufacturing flash drives to manufacturing LED’s in Taiwan, starting Vyvyd Lighting in Toronto, and how he learned lighting design from Nelca Roco on Youtube. You can even learn a couple things about Taiwan's history. Vyvyd Lighting's founder, Peter Ma, got his start in the lighting industry in his family LED manufacturing business in Taiwan since 2006 when LED light bulbs were just introduced to the market. After moving to Toronto in 2008, Peter has worked as an electrical apprentice, lighting specifier, and graphic designer. He noticed the Greater Toronto Area has many unique requirements in lighting due to its geographic position and multi-cultural society. He founded Vyvyd Lighting in 2014 to offer customized lighting design and supply services.
