curprev 21:5321:53, 14 February 2024‎ Zaereth talk contribs‎ 25,334 bytes −164‎ →‎Carbon arc lamp: Correction. I find the first sentence to be wrong. Maybe true a hundred years ago, but carbon arc lamps are rarely used today and "arc lamp" usually refers to gas discharge lamps, such as xenon arc and fluorescent tubes. The other sentence, while it does say that in the source, is simply wrong, likely a misunderstanding because the technology is so outdated. The arc is actually rather dim. Mechanisms of light production are better explained in the spectrum section. undo
