Lamps lose space in Recife City nights are illuminated now by modern and efficient sodium vapor lamps and mercury Jailson Peace Team DAILY The nights in Recife today by modern lamps lit with sodium vapor and mercury, have shone in the lamplight. Fed fish oil and castor oil and carbon dioxide, these ancient lamps virtually disappeared from public streets and squares, but gained verses. Capiba, who knew the old system, question the music Recife City Legendary: "And what is done in your lamps, where once the Bohemians sang their beautiful songs?". Although no longer they smoke, some of them can be found at the train station of Recife, in Old Bridge or mansions in the city. Most, however, disappeared and that there can be established only in photographs. Nevertheless, the researcher Nephi Aguiar said there about 300 different pieces in the palaces and streets. The station (ten in the same model), for example, from England in 1888. "Unfortunately much of it was merged with the advent of electricity in Recife," lamented Aguiar. The replacement of the lamps began to be made in 1919, when the company Pernambuco Tramways, Power and Light Company implemented the electricity. "Many lamps lit up the reef until the thirties," the journalist and researcher Leonardo Dantas. FACADE Historian Carlos Bezerra Cavalcanti says that in 1817 the streets were dark Brazilian Venice. The only house to have two lamps on the facade was the solar merchant and political leader Gervasio Pires Ferreira. The property on the corner of the street Conception in Boa Vista, and which today is called the politician. The gesture, he said, was imitated by others and formed a pre-street lighting. The city gained lighting five years later, when lamps were installed based on castor oil. According to writer Orlando Parahym, the book traces Recife: Yesterday and Today, this system remained until May 6, 1859. On that date, carbon dioxide began to feed the lamps, as has happened in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The New Street in the neighborhood of Santo Antonio, was the first to make lamps connected to the pipe lead. TRIBUTE "When you wanted to hold a birthday party that god was none to help us," said Parahym. The home owners had to call the experts in mechanisms to move the carbs and lamps. "Nonetheless, time aga, failed everything and came the shouts and curses," described. The output was to resort to candles and lamps. The lamps are reminded by J.Michiles, 55, music Recife Morning Sun She won a contest in honor of the city in 1966. But for that stay lit streets, the mechanism depended lighter. The work, at first, was done by slaves and then became a profession. "I met some of them," he said with an air of nostalgia Leonardo Dantas. The journalist said to be the poem of Jorge de Lima one of the best descriptions of these people. In verses The Lighter Lantern, the poet says that many times he saw: "Here comes the lighter street lamp ... One, two, three lamps lit and continues." To the author of the sonnet irony was that the lighter "may not have shed light on where dwells." COST The energy spent on the streets, squares and bridges of Recife costs, monthly, about £ 800,000 to municipal coffers. "This value is expected to fall by 40% with the implementation of Procel," said the head of the Department of Public Lighting, Wagner Saldanha. Procel Eletrobras is a program developed in partnership with the City. It provides for the replacement of 102 000 mercury vapor lamps by sodium vapor. Budgeted at U.S. $ 6.4 million, Procel allow the exchange of 70,000 fixtures, ballasts and relays within a year. Sodium lamps began to be used by the city of Recife in 1992. Today they represent 25% of what is on the city streets and are on the main avenues such as Domingos Ferreira, Agamemnon Magalhães, Rosa e Silva, North and Caxangá. The Bairro do Recife is the highest that has this type of bulb, with approximately 80%. Vandalism undermines the streets of downtown History is recorded Sale on antique
