We built a limelight to demonstrate the reaction that gave us the first spot light, and the phrase "in the lime light". The limelight is a kind of lighting used at the end of the 19th century in theaters and music halls.
It is produced when heating with a high temperature torch a piece of quick lime. The light is emitted by a combination of the phenomenons of incandescence and candoluminescence.
This demonstration was created for our live studio show "LUMINESCENCE" at the Trove Arts Art Parlour where we offer unique, exciting, and fun things to do in the Milwaukee area.
