Light Bulb Fire Pattern Research Paper. For years investigators have used heat distorted light bulbs to help determine the origin and intensity of fires. The purpose of this study is to establish a base of information on the effects of fire on new styles of lighting, and how the effects of fire can aid the investigator in his or her work.

About The Author
Richard Meier is a full-time fire and explosion investigator and fire expert. He is a Certified Fire Investigator (IAAI_CFI) based in Florida. He is an expert in the used and interpretation of fire patterns as a useful tool in the determination of origin and cause. A nationally recognized expert, Rich has investigated hundreds of fires across the United States, from Maine to Hawaii and The Florida Keys to Alaska.
It is important for a fire investigator to understand how new technology and products may change the post-fire effects observed (fire patterns). This research on Light Bulb Fire Pattern Research is just one way Meier Fire Investigation works to keep our understanding of the science of current.
Richard’s engineering & manufacturing background gives him an advantage in fire investigation. While many are still scratching their heads and asking, “What is it?” Richard is already determining how it works, how it’s made, and if it has any bearing on the case.
