On February 21, 1896 the Spanish government approved a grant to Rafaél Arrillaga representing the Corporation Electric Lighting Company to build a plant for the production of electric lighting in Mayagüez. This made the second city of Mayagüez in Puerto Rico to provide public electric lighting. stonco Professional contemporary newspapers reported that the plant was built that year in accordance with the advice provided by the grant. After the change of sovereignty, the company passed to the Mayagüez Electric Company in 1902 and later to the Mayagüez Light and Power Company in 1905. Around 116 arc lamps were installed in different parts of the city. Many of these lamps are visible in old photos Mendez Vigo Street, Concord, Aug. 11 (near the square) and others. Arc lamps consisted of two carbon electrodes produced by touching a bright stonco light that required little energy. These electrodes require replacement as often consumed to produce the bow which made these lamps requiring constant maintenance. The manufacturing of these lamps is unknown, but I understand that similar brand lamps Thompson-Houston were used in similar projects in Cuba. Interesting facts about the carbon arc lamps: They came in one or two styles of rods. The Mayaguez seem to have been two rods by what is seen in some pictures. The average of each pair of carbon rods life was approx 75 hours (in the 1890's stonco lamps) The arc produced approx of 2-7 lumens per watt depending on the type of lamp. They produced a buzz and the light flickered. Carbon monoxide generated by limiting its use as factories or ventilated street lighting spaces. Producing harmful rays in the UV-A, UV-B and UV-C spectrum. The typical design is shown here on the right. At the end of the page you'll find a short video about this type of lamp. Source ...
