Large Jacob's Ladder

Step 6 Plug it in!

Make any final adjustments and plug it in!

Safety Tips:

• Always unplug before adjusting/touching it
• When touching it, still use caution. When touching anything that could possibly have current running through it use the back of your right hand. Electricity makes your muscles contract, and if you touch it with your palm you could get stuck holding onto it.

Long exposure pictures look really cool, just look at any of the other jacob's ladder instructables.
I don't have a camera with a long exposure setting, but here is a video of it in action:
