AMATEUR MOVIE MAKING 127 photographic power is concerned, these double range lamps give about one-fourth the light at ten amperes as they do at twenty, so that for the maximum efficiency, your electric supply must come through 25 ampere fuses or larger. For using the ten ampere range of the two range lamp you must use fifteen ampere fuses and for the Cameralite, Little Sunny, TrautMinima and similar lamps you will use ten ampere fuses. These sizes are minimum, larger sizes may be used if desired, but do not throw a too heavy load on the house line until an electrician advises you as to the load which the wiring will safely carry. Homes which are equipped with electric heat, electric refrigeration, or other power lines can usually arrange to plug in the arc on these heavy duty lines and in that way two or even more of the heavier duty lamps can be used on the 20 ampere pull. There is hardly a field in amateur or even commercial and industrial cinematography which cannot be fully covered by the use of one or more types of the lamps described. Bear in mind when using arc lights of any kind, that the light must never be extinguished by throwing a house lighting switch! Always extinguish the light by pulling the plug out of its socket. An ordinary switch would arc and fuse the metal, possibly causing a short circuit which would blow the line fuses. When through using an arc light, pull the plug!
