Nernst lamps

Description

Aerial views
Nernst Lamps were displayed overhead in the Westinghouse Section of the Electricity Building. The lighting filament was made of lime-like minerals that, when heated by electric current, gave off a "the most dazzling white light." The fifty-candle Nernst lamp was three times brighter than the normal incandescent lamp of the period, and consumed half the energy.
