Home Gas Lighting System

Home Gas Lighting System Video Clips. Duration : 4.90 Mins.


This is a video I had taken of my home lit by gas lighting. The house was built in 1915 and was wired for electricity and piped for gas, both of which were soley for lighting purposes. The gas used is acetylene and burns with a bright white light that give off very little heat or odor. My fixtures, most of which are original to the house, are combination fixtures. I use tungsten filament bulbs that are reproductions of those made at around 1910. The gas lights, when you have a chandelier with three or more lights and frosted shades, are brighter than three of the reproduction electric light bulbs. The pressure used is very low. Only 2.5 inches water column (WC) or about .09 psi. I use a standard aceylene tank used for cutting torches and four stages of regulation to reduce the tank pressure of 170 psi down to 2.4" WC Sorry for the odd color. I used a simple digital camera on video mode.
