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 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 produces a temperature of several thousand degrees, and the tips of the carbon rods are heated to incandescence, creating light. ...

An electrical discharge lamp for specimen illumination. Mercury arc lamps are characterized by strong spectral peaks at approximately 366, 405, 436, 546, and 578 nm. Xenon lamps are characterized by a relatively flat radiance spectrum from the ultraviolet through the infrared ranges.

| arc lamp |
A hanging pressure lamp (and later, street lamp) of early vintage, like the "Efficient", "Coleman" or M&M. The pressure tank was below the burners. In modern usage, an arc lamp is an electric device where the light is created from an electric arc between two charged poles, rather than by using an incandescent filament.
