COLD CATHODE LIGHTING. This source offers a full range of colors in-
cluding reds, blues, whites and pastels. Tubing is available from

inch to 1 inch in
diameter in either straight lengths or curved sections. From 50 to 450 lumens per
foot can be obtained. Operating voltages range from 700 to 15,000 volts depending
upon the number and types of tubes used in the secondary circuits. This form of
lighting used either alone or as a background for incandescent highlighting would
serve for many thousands of hours before replacement would be necessary. With the
Underwriters' Laboratories' approval of our Model P-4 Protector, this becomes one
of the safest forms of illumination. Both fire and personnel protection is obtained
because a ground arc in the high voltage wiring, an open circuit on the secondary, or a
grounded person touching a live high tension contact cuts off the power within 3
cycles. If a tube is removed, fails, or is manufactured incorrectly, the P-4 Protector
opens the primary circuit. No special primary wiring or control is required and oper-
ation is fully automatic.
FLASH SIGNAL AND PULSING WARNING LIGHTS. The use of condensers
discharging through lamps offers a wide range of light outputs and characteristics for
flashing and pulsing signals. Typical of these is the device
illustrated. Originally designed during the war for Naval use,
it is now being widely adapted for marking street openings,
road obstructions, canals, stop signs, and other places where
dangerous conditions exist. The lantern illustrated operates
for over 1000 hours at 70 flashes per minute and approximately
30 candle power. Other more powerful models are being made
which produce thousands of candlepower. One such type
placed in front of street workers sends a pulsing beam toward
oncoming motorists . Another type used in a marine buoy gives
an intensity sufficient to be visible for 10 miles. Flash rates
from 12 per minute to 40 per second are obtainable.
