A zirconia light is an intensely brilliant chemical light produced by incandescent zirconium. It was more commonly used in the days before electric lamps. It is similar in design to the Limelight. It is similar to the Drummond light, but differing from it chiefly in the employment of cones of zirconium instead of cylinders of lime; it has been superseded by the electric light.
