Nernst Lamps
were displayed overhead in the Westinghouse Section of the Electricity
Building. The lighting filament was made of lime-like minerals that, when
heated by electric current, gave off a "the most dazzling white light."
The fifty-candle Nernst lamp was three times brighter than the normal
incandescent lamp of the period, and consumed half the energy.
