Henri Adolphe Archereau
Henri Adolphe Archereau (born October 4, 1819 in Saint-Hilaire-le-Vouhis , Département Vendée , † February 9, 1893 in Paris ) was a French scientist who was one of the pioneers of electric lighting.
Together with Louis-Joseph Deleuil he experimented with carbon arc lamps between 1841 and 1844 ; among other things, they illuminated the Place de la Concorde in Paris. The burning carbon rods had to be readjusted by hand. In 1849 Archereau improved the technology towards the self-regulating carbon arc lamp.
