Summary

My Lighting Background started at KSR Lighting 6 Years ago as a Picker & Packer.

Within the first Year I worked my way up to a Supervisor and then a Manger.

I was always keen to learn more about the technical side of lighting so I was always trying to help out in production when the time allowed me to.

Within time I had better understanding on how the different types of systems work i.e. Photocell , corridor function , switch-dim and PIR.

I was then offered the opportunity to join Technical team to help me grow within the industry.
