Today I had the very first meeting organized by the EF - a visit of a company called Lutron (www.lutron.com)... To be frank and open, I have never heard of the company before - and it's probably not just because my focus has been just different... As it also turned out during the visit, Lutron only started to sell in Europe a couple of years ago, and are still not too strong there...
However, the most interesting thing about the company is that it was founded back in 1961 by Joel Spira who at that time invented the very first solid state dimmer switch (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer)... I got to meet Joel himself who is in a great shape, both mentally and physically, and it was a great discussion we had - not just about the lighting controls market and possibilities to market those in Central Europe, but also about Prague (where he has been), energy, global warming and politics... Great experience...
