David Shiller July 24, 2025

I recently had the pleasure of appearing on the The Project Advantage video podcast with Neil Peterson, CEO of LED Lighting Supply. The episode is titled, Fluorescent Light Ban: Why LEDs Are The Smarter Choice.
A wide range of topics were discussed including:
- mercury lamp bans in 10 states and Canada
- how utility LED rebates are changing
- impressions of LightFair 2025
- costs rising fast for fluorescent lamps & ballasts as well as HID lamps and ballasts, impact all 50 states,
- tariffs impacting manufacturers
Special thanks to Neil Peterson and his great team at LEDLightingSupply.com, for the thoughtful and informative discussion. View the full video podcast here.
