The first use was to study wireless capabilities for radio, remote controls and switching on bulbs from a distance without wires.
Coil lightings are sporadic.
Anything wireless is based on the Tesla Coil.
When building a Tesla coil, one transformer is required to complete it. If you want to build the power by adding up another transformer to the coil, I would advice you to go by the plan established before by Nikola Tesla that was brought down in generations. First, building a coil, is something you shouldn't do if your electrical experience or knowable is not advanced.
In 1891, Tesla invented the Tesla coil, which was widely used in radios and television sets. A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit.
Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil in 1891 when he was 35 years old.
Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil in his workshop in New York City in the late 19th century. He first publicly demonstrated the device in 1891 at the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

As far as i know, it is Not possible to use a ebi for energizing a usual tesla coil.
A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It is used to produce high voltage which Tesla used to test a way to conduct wireless electricity. Something about Tesla was that his inventions were not an accident like most inventions. He visioned the inventions in his head and then make them work. The Tesla coil experiments were done or conducted in the Colorado Springs laboratory. We could think that the first Tesla Coil was built there but the idea could be in his head way back from New York when he was working with George Wentishouse.
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil around 1891. The Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit that produces high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity.
Your first touch of live primary Tesla coil voltage (10000 volts) has a good chance of being fatal and will easily stop your heart. The coil dicharge goes up to one and a half millions volts.
