Definition of 'candle, electric'

The Standard Electrical Dictionary

1. candle, electric
An arc lamp regulated by simple gravity, or without any feed of the carbons or special feeding apparatus, generally for the production of an arc light of low intensity. This definition may be considered too elastic, and the word may be restricted to parallel carbon lamps in which the arc springs across from carbon to carbon. For the latter class an alternating current is used to keep the carbons of equal length. They are but little used now. Various kinds have been invented, some of which are given here.
