Arc is arc, whether welding or in a lamp. And, arc is not a spark. Spark is electrical field discharge (high V/m values with no initial current, which is a dielectric breakdown) and arc is a high current that first gets established through say an inductance and then it sustains itself with the conductor interrupted through the hi-temp ionization.
So it is the same type as in welding.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
