True life experience of Fred, the owner of this website and why he is promoting POP MicroLight.
A day in August 2004 was a normal day at my office located on the tenth floor of a well known pre-war skyscraper in New York City, NY... Suddenly all power went down and shortly after, the building emergency speaker system told us that electric power was out in the Northeast Corridor of the U.S. and to await instructions. Soon we were told to evacuate the building and to follow the
floor security captain's instructions. Everyone left the office, proceeding to the only stairwell with lights, per the security captain. When we arrived, a line was slowly entering the stairwell
due to the huge amount of people coming from the upper floors. As I and the last two people from
my office were about to enter the main crowd, I grabbed them and said follow me because there was a faster way down. I remembered my "POP Microlight, showed them it would light our way, and said
we were going down a nearby dark stairwell {no emergency lights}. The three of us got down to the main floor and exited the building fully twelve minutes before the other office mates appeared.
Had this been a life threatening event, those twelve minutes would have made a
difference........Fred
