The 'Bille Jean'

In light of the sad news of MJ’s passing, I thought I’d share an influence he had on the lighting design profession.  Whenever someone enquires about building light into a floor (which is surprisingly often!), it is known as doing a “Billie Jean”.

If you check out the Billie Jean Video clip you will see not only the “Billie Jean floor” but also light built into rubbish bins and other lighting gems.
