EDISON CARDON LAMPS WERE THE FIRST LAMPS IN USE AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY. THE CARBON ELEMENT WAS PRACTICALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE AND THE LAMPS LASTED FOR MANY YEARS. LOW CANDLE POWER AND HIGH HEAT RADIATION WERE THEIR CHIEF CHARACTERISTICS. THE USE OF TUNGSTEN ELEMENTS RAPIDLY SUPPLANTED THEM IN THE SECOND DECADE. - Area Notes
