An arc lamp is a type of electrical light that produces illumination by creating an electric arc between two electrodes, typically made of carbon or tungsten. It was one of the first forms of electric lighting and is known for its intense brightness and use in applications such as searchlights, projectors, and street lighting before the advent of more modern lighting technologies.

An electric arc is a visible plasma discharge between two electrodes that is sustained by the ionization of gases and is characterized by high temperature and brightness. It is widely used in industrial applications such as welding, lighting, and electrical switching due to its ability to conduct electricity across a gap and generate intense heat.
