The Edison Arcs

I almost went BLIND on this one!!!
I was a little disappointed at the quality of this light bulb. Even though I cleaned it with a dust free rag, It still ended up with spots all over it. At first I thought well, maybe the air is REALLY dusty... Then I looked at the glass closely and noticed that it had many imperfections which caused most of the spots... I suppose I should expect that from a bulb from Home Depot that only cost $4.50 for a pack of two.

Excellent idea, I like the patterns the light and reflections make. --Melanie

Thanks for the compliments. When I first saw this challenge I first thought of trying to do a Jacobs Ladder or a Tesla Coil but I had no where to set one of those up without electrocuting anyone so I went with something a little more simpler with the clear (well... almost clear) light bulb.

I was hoping someone would think of this kind of arc. Very nicely done! ~Sharon
