Are you ready for a bone-chilling Halloween adventure filled with flickering lights, mysterious bills, and ghostly dimming?

Join us on a journey into the eerie world of lighting mishaps with the Tala team. As we delve into these 'Lighting Horror Stories,' be prepared for a good laugh and some hair-raising moments.

1. Incandescent burn

Picture the scene…a Tala team member on a mission to replace an incandescent bulb. As they twist and turn the bulb, they suddenly feel a searing heat on their fingertips – a close encounter with the dreaded incandescent burn. Our brave team member learned a valuable lesson: always let the bulb cool down before attempting a bulb swap or opt for LEDs that don’t heat to skin-melting temperatures.

2. Flickering lamps at a wedding

Lights, camera...flicker? At a wedding shoot, this Tala team member experienced the dreaded flickering lamp phenomenon. Just as the couple was about to say, "I do," the lights decided to join in the dance; talk about unexpected mood lighting. Thankfully, our team members' quick thinking turned the situation into a charmingly quirky memory for the newlyweds.
 

3. Lights with a mind of their own

Ever witnessed lights turning on and off by themselves? We have. We've encountered our fair share of supernatural switches, leading to some perplexing moments. While it may seem like a scene from a horror movie, it's usually just an electrical glitch. But that doesn't make the heart-pounding experience any less thrilling.

4. A dimming dilemma on date night

Ah, the allure of romantic candlelit dinners – until your dimmable lights decide to have a romantic moment of their own. A member of the team once had an unforgettable date night disrupted by poor or, worse, no dimming. It's safe to say that an appropriately lit date is key to setting the mood, and we've become dimming stans ever since.

From sizzling incandescent bulbs to flickering wedding moments, the Tala team has had its share of hair-raising encounters.
