 Arc lamp: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Arc lamp
The arc lamp produces light by the sparking (or arcing, from voltaic arc[?]) of a high current between two carbon rod electrodes.
The rods are touched and then slowly drawn apart; as the rods separate the current is "struck" and arcs across the gap in a bright, ionized path.
The arc lamps were soon superseded by the more efficient and longer-lasting filament lamps in most roles, remaining in only certain niche markets such as cinema projection and search lights[?].

 Arc lamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An arc lamp is a device that produces light by the sparking (or arcing, from voltaic arc or electric arc) of a high current between two carbon rod electrodes.
The arcs were enclosed in a small tube to slow the carbon consumption (increasing the life span to around 100 hours).
Flame arc lamps were introduced where the carbon rods had metal salts (usually magnesium, strontium, barium, or calcium fluorides) added to increase light output and produce different colours.
