    At sufficiently high voltages and currents all of the above become an arc lamp, and there is no difference.

    I disagree. Some devices offer more surface area to clamp on current leads and grounds. This possibly offers more current density and thus a brighter arc.
     
    Background: MIG welding with a tandem process (two wires, two arcs, one weld puddle) requires a darker shade welding glass than a single wire process.

      Unless any of these devices have some significant Tungsten content any difference would be momentary.

        With enough current/voltage, any difference would be momentary, fullstop, no 'unless', no exception.
        That is, unless you keep your backup in blackholes (grin)
