What people are saying about the Lexicon

I dislike you professionally...You are a contrarian... Your Lexicon is weak and you are an island. I've actually never looked at your Lexicon, I've heard it was poor. There's my testimonial.

Michael Gallart, Rigging Gaffer, CBS' Equalizer

Amazing! This reminds me of back in the day when a guy took it upon himself to catalog all of the moving lights... This is valuable information.

Richard Cadena, "Electricity for the Entertainment Electrician & Technician"

Wow, you did go deep. Yes, I am impressed...Yes, this would be a valuable study guide.

Kelly Britt, IATSE Local 52 Training Coordinator

This really helped me out on the Local 52 Test, thanks Carbone!

Kelvin Randolph, Local 52 Electrician

Gennady Brodsky, Local 52 Electrician, Chernobyl Liquidator

I used it to study for the (Local 52) test and if I ever Gaffed, planned to use it to balance electrical loads.

Andrew Gambardella, Local 52 Electrician
