I wouldnt call them Amish light. There are different factions of Mennonite. Some are as strict as the Amish but then there are some sects that allow the use of modern conveniences.
In Mid Michigan, north of Lansing in the towns along US 27, it is a common sight to see horse drawn buggies. Doesnt really matter whether they are Mennonite or Amish.
One of my builders has a Mennonite/Amish framing crew. They travel nearly 90 minutes each way. They have one non Amish guy on the crew who drives them all to and from work every day. This guy starts the compressors and runs the saws and their skytrak. The rest of the crew wont use electric tools but they do use the air driven nail guns as long as the non Amish guy starts the compressor.
My crew interacts with them all the time. Nice guys. Ive never asked them to distinguish whether they are Mennonite or Amish.

He’ll of some great framers, the Amish here in Kentucky are great people. I would love to live life more as they do.
