No guts, no blue chipsG.

Was my "dissertation" overkill, on target, or something else...?

As I read it, been there, done that.

Actually, I prefer the "LGB" theory of lighting design as follows:

1) Walk the job site and scope out the area, either indoor or outdoor.

2) Make design recommendation such as put luminaires here, here, and here to
the user while pointing towards the required area.

3) Ask question, "Are we done here?", If so, Let's Get a Beer.G

Over the years, managed to sell a few $ worth of HID lighting equipment that
way.

Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty B/G.

Now you can answer the question.
