Oh, so then the other lightbulbs would turn off while the arc is jumping over...but i thought the arc would be like a closed circuit(low resistance). Thanks for the info though.


I get what you are saying though.


Now that i am thinking of it...would it almost be like a pulsation or something?

Say the arc is a closed circuit(low resistance)..it will light up the other bulbs, and when the other bulbs light up, they will drop the voltage, so then there won't be enough potential to jump the gap in the bulb, and the arc turns off momentarily, lights turn off...600 volts across the points in the lightbulb, then the cycle repeats. Is this a good way of looking at it? I wonder if such systems were used for chopper controls before solid state electronics came about.
