Electric Arc Lamps Brighten Berlin Streets as Ornaments
In Berlin electric arc lamp poles are praised as decorative brackets rather than mere poles. Mains taps run under sidewalks to surface the iron brackets, lighting the streets with green black gilt accents. Lamp maintenance involves a panel door lock fuse handling and windlass lowering the lamp, all without steps. Each ornate device costs about 150 dollars and locals often pay substantial sums to have them installed. The piece also includes a vignette of club chatter and a remark on self-harm statistics.
