Only recently. Light bulbs used to blow rather too often and changing them was a routine thing. LED has changed that thank goodness.
Smart lights have been installed at my workplace. They change their setting over 20 or so seconds ‘to reduce stress’. When you press a button and nothing happens immediately it immediately irritates, and most users press it again (cancelling the change).
Who comes up with these crappy systems and the amateur psychology behind them?
