Carbon Arc Followspots


From What's Old Is New Again: Products of the Past :

Now, Here's a God Light Genarco, a name from the past, used to produce followspots, but in the September/October 1968 Theatre Crafts, the company offered a 32kW, high-intensity carbon arc solar radiation simulator system. You could produce one solar constant over a 37"-diameter circle at a distance of 35', and an automatic feed for carbon arcs enabled 100 hours of uninterrupted operation. I bet it could take the paint off the stage floor, as well as turn plastic food into mush.
