Wanted: Vintage Headlights
We’re developing a one-of-kind headlight exhibit; “Driving after Sundown: the Evolution of Headlights”. This interactive “no-touch” exhibit allows visitors to experience vehicle lighting effects from the days of candles, oil, and acetylene all the way through today’s modern lighting. By merely pointing at an array of different light types, the effects are experienced. A few very special lights are needed to complete the exhibit, Examples are acetylene, “Woodlite”, E&J projector, and others.
