Kiev was lit up like a festival with the first electric lights in 1878, what a sight it would have been.

As an electrician, I love seeing these very interesting lamps in functioning order! What a cool fixture! Keep up the good work, man...

How could someone not like this video? This is a testament to the quality of the piece of equipment that he has a restored back to working condition. Apparently after watching his other video he had to do very little other than clean it up and replace the globe. Heaven knows how many years this thing provided light for people when they really needed it. And the fact that it could still provide reliable light maybe a hundred twenty years after its manufactured to me is just outstanding. Bravo.

I remember back in the '70's-'80's an old drive-in movie theater out west where they had old carbon arc projectors the pictures seemed to be better that today buld projector's only thing is that you had to adjust the arc ever once and a while the carbon arc has the same light spectrum as the sun including the ultra violet rays.. the movie projector had a very dark green window to look in to keep an eye on it and the bowl shaped mirror in the back to reflect the light to the film is very expensive around $1,000. Was in the projector room quite a few time... I think I might even know where one might be out west but I know where there is a old spot light that uses a carbon arc to luminaire ...

Enjoying your work, thank you. Full of great advice, a great service, entertaining viewing, and I note that you sell parts too. I hope to see your passion featured in mainstream media some day.

Can you take your videos in widescreen? Can an iPhone record in widescreen? You have great content, but the vertical recording sucks!

That is fantastic and like you said this is a great way to see how it actually works and light quality.. if I may ask where do you get your carbon rods from ??? I know someone who has a old spot light in descent shape .... They are pretty good for lighting up the area that's for sure for the date and time...

Was carbon arc color resemble a metal halide led fluorescent or mercury vapor lamp also it was soft warm cool natrual white or daylight in color temperture finally what type of ballast was used?

@dawbre42 4 ай бұрын

lamps of this era do not use ballast as the arc is struck and the gap opened via solenoid. they are completely self regulating as the ark uses the carbon rods. they produce a bright white lite that is a true ark light that is rarely seen outside of imax projectors and science labs

How close to the naked eye perception of the light on the ground was the camera's recording?

Could you place something or someone under the light to show us what it looks like? Just showing us the light illuminating the top 10 feet of the pole isn't very helpful. Kudos to you for digging a hole and setting the pole.
