Reply To: What is the origin and history of the electric menorah?

LIY, why would it be more controversial than electric lighting in general? Lights at the amud (except for an avel/yartzeit) are for kavod, and to give the chazan light to read by, so why would electric be less suitable than candles? When the chazan is lighting for the elevation of a neshama, because ner Hashem nishmas odom, many/most still use candles.
