G.E.C 250w MB/U: Arcstream

Very close-up photo of the electrode whilst at full power after about an hour of running.
This did the usual new lamp trick of having the arc dance around the electrodes and sometimes splitting into two.

This is what make certain 250watt MBs flicker, when the arc runs half on the tip, and half on the overwinds, the half on the overwinds spirals them causing a flickering look.

I think it's a good camera operator too Wink

...I really should learn how to properly use my DSLR, and actually bother to use it instead of my phone camera!
