We have 12 main videos and a number of appendixes created from outtakes which cover other details. You can purchase this program on DVD by contacting us. You can also subscribe to our Facebook page which occasionally has updates and new photos of lighting technology related items as well as other areas of engineering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Click the button below to begin the program, you will travel forward in time starting with year 1800. We use the date the light was first invented as a placeholder.
