We're back for more from Pete Borchetta in the second half of our interview with him.  He's been with Altman Lighting for just over a year, but has over two decades of experience in the business.  On the last episode, we discussed his beginnings, his career up until Altman, his work as an educator, and his experience as a consultant.This time, we're discussing Altman itself, what Pete does there, and why he chose to move back to the NY Metro.  We discussed color and color control in-depth, touching on many of the challenges that color-changing LED and short arc fixtures both cause and solve.  We also discussed the lab at Altman, and how they capture the immense amount of photometric data required for IES files and documentation.Thanks for joining us again!
