Here's an updated datasheet for the SilverArc series arc lamps. This will be the first series to be manufactured and sold. When the manufacturing process is efficient and reliable the Carb-O-Bay series will be developed!
What is the chassis and what are the different sizes for? What are the different size casings do performance-wise? I plan to order a fixture from Vince Electric. BTW, do you know how the lumen output compares to an incandescent?
First of all, the chassis is the internal frame on which most mechanical and electrical components will be mounted on. It's gonna be a independent part assembled separately.
Different casing sizes are going to be available depending of the power of the fixture. Since a larger lamp needs larger parts, a larger casing will be necessary
As of the lumen output, I found out in my last experiments that it is about 1/3 lower than equivalent watt incandescent. But I'll need to do further experiments to determine exactly the lumen output of each model LOL.
The arc itself is extremely hot, the temperature of the carbon rods where the arc is can reach 6500'F, it's even hotter than an oxy-acethylene torch! However the radiated heat is probably comparable to an incandescent. The arc will never be in free air, always enclosed in an (almost) airtight globe.
