"How much we gather, feel and perceive is up to us, but regardless, treasure it because it's not infinite." -- Vinh Nguyen

I was like Hmmmm This sounds familiar and then I saw my name by it...Hmmm

Found it:
Fiat Lux = Let there be light...Word of the God

The word Fiat Lux just sound so cool to me

Being Latin probably adds to the coolness

So being word of the God the light must come from God. Not a candle, a bonfire or even the sun. It's the first light created by The Creator. Therefore I would like to relate Fiat Lux on my lights to be a reminder of the 1st light of life.

I chose Sky Lumen because one again it just sounds cool to me. But more importantly it signify the source of light that bought life to us is from the Sky gifted by our Creator.

Here is where the problem is: Lumen is a Unit of light but not light itself.

Sky Lux would have made more sense but I like the sound of Sky Lumen more. So I have to make up a theory to myself to give Lumen a meaningful purpose.

Lumen being the unit of light indicate that light it itself is a finite amount that can be accounted for. Light being matter is neither created nor destroyed, thus again finite. Light are created by chemical reactions which could eventually run out and alters it's form but it never really vanished. So in conclusion the light is there, see it or not it's always present. Some times in the form of memories for the past, ideas for the present, and premonition or the 6th sense for the futures. Sometimes the light just must be felt rather than seen. We are given a finite amount of Light measured in Lumen. How much we gather, feel and perceive is up to us, but regardless, treasure it because it's not infinite. How much Sky Lumen have you gathered?! ;-)

All the stuff I said above might make no sense but it's the best I can express it.

Now the plot twist: I didn't think of Sky Lumen all on my own. If anyone have watch the Terminator movies you guys would know about Sky Net. The company that made the Terminators. Sky Net is a damn legit futuristic name! First time I heard of it I was like WOW...

So lets name my business Sky Lumen. Yes I came up with the name first and then define what it means to me later. Quite reverse I know. Same goes with Fiat Lux.

I also think in reverse when I work on the lights soemtimes. More on this when I have more time...

O yeah one of these days I will explain y the number 54 in V54 is so meaningful to me. And yes I came up with the signature V54 before I came up with that it really means to me.

Weird *** way of thinking and reasoning I know....

^^^ nice post Vinh.

I do not remember where[which thread] but I think you said "54" is meaningful because that is the year when your Dad[?] Grandfather[?] left Vietnam.

I read in the past from one of Vinh's posts that if one assigns the alphabet numerically, then add the numbers for L O V E, that it adds up to 54.
