It's a Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Las Posadas/Eid-al-Adha/Diwali/Festivus miracle! An episode: shiny, new, episode 034. Curl up in front of the fire, break out the Glögg, or if you're like Craig, Templeton Rye and have yourself a merry little whatever with The Lighting Nerds.

• Lighting term of the day
  • Dichroic
  • The etymology: Greek origins, meaning “two-colored”. It refers to glass with a special optical coating which allows it to reflect all light except certain wavelengths. Lights that change colors use this type of glass almost exclusively for its resistance to heat-related fading, and for the very pure color of the transmitted light.
• Lighting quiz:
  • I get to quiz Josh

Folks might be wonderin' about us.

Hello lighting nerds! Sorry that this isn't the podcast, it's me telling you you're gonna have to wait until I can get this thing edited. Boo! Hiss! Deal wit it!
