Let us consider the state of the world of entertainment lighting as it pertains to arc lamps, for the change from even just a decade ago has been remarkable. We live with competing modalities of generating the raw lumens for our effects — arc and LED, and not much in between, and of great interest currently is the eventual phasing out of these tiny bottles of lightning in favour of their solid-state brethren. This is all well and good. It must be said, however, that the arc lamp has matured… somewhat.
