An arc lamp is a type of electric light that produces light by means of an electric arc. The basic principle behind an arc lamp involves creating a high-voltage electric arc between two electrodes, which can be made of carbon or other conductive materials. The intense heat generated by the arc vaporizes the material around the electrodes, producing a bright and intense light. Arc lamps are notable for their high brightness and efficiency, making them suitable for a variety of applications.
