Thank you. I hope you did not break your lens to explain this to me. LOL. BTW: Does ROW mean rest of the world?
LOL, no I found that random picture on Instagram and saved it because I knew one day this topic would come up and it would come in handy

And yes, "ROW" means, the opposite of anything North American related.

The US regulators have to some real intricate and specific lighting requirements, so it's the antithetical to what the rest of the free world uses or is required, hence the distinction.
