    Posted by Mike Hall on 11 October 2013 at 15:22

    Hi,
    I’m Mike Hall. after much trial and tribulation I have finally got myself sorted and will be around now and again!
    thanks Rob!
    If you don’t know – (and most won’t) I’m an ex employee of Masonlite and now an independent consultant. Also, I’m involved with the BSGA and ESF (European Sign Federation).
    So neon was 22 years of my life and now I get involved in sign lighting of all sorts including measuring colour, light output and those dreaded Standards.

    See you around!

    Aha! Seems I need to put a picture and a signature in my profile!

    mike.

    Hi Mike

    Great to hear you are going to be visiting our open day. It’s currently a hive of activity…. If you stand still too long you either get painted or have vinyl stuck to you!!! Please tap me in the shoulder and say hello :lol1: you’re coming to extend your knowledge but I bet we end up asking you just as many questions. Neon has never been something we’ve been involved in.

    Rob when will you buy a diary??? I think that’s your Christmas present this year……a wee pocket diary, stop double booking yourself 😉 …..if you manage to get cover in Ireland and pop back just let me know if you need collecting from anywhere. Plus shout if you need a room booked, I can advise a couple of options.

    Hi Gill,

    Looking forward to the visit!

    I have moved on from neon – though the old grey cells do retain a bit about it!
    LEDs and their colour, light and its measurement are my thing. Leading to choosing the right LED for backlighting a particular colour – optimising efficacy.

    As well as Standards (up to a point). Drone, drone…………..

    Hi John,

    Making it an international welcome! Thank you.
    I do like to think of my self as an one man international business given my involvement in the European Sign federation! (And past work in various countries). Thanks again.

    I only live in Scotland so you could say you had already had an International welcome Mike.
