Just so this isn't TLDR post, here is what has been going on: So, that's pretty much everything in a nutshell. The move to an entirely new location was very sorely needed.

However, it's all about light bulbs. 10 years ago, if you told me I'd be making a living waxing poetic about LEDs and commercial fixtures, I'd say you were crazy. But here I am...quite literally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTFCQrlKn8U It cool that they are putting my product review skills to good use. So keep an eye out.

Sliding it back allows it to switch between forwards & backwards when it hits something. ...
