While I am not familiar with Warren Jefferson or his book, I might suggest that you put the light source behind or to the side and slightly behind the jar of colloidal silver in order to view any yellow wisp or cloud coming off the electrodes. This light should also not shine directly into your eyes. Just experiment with it a bit.
You will not see any "clouds" or "wisps" coming off the electrodes at the beginning of the process (using distilled water and no additives) until the amount of silver in the water increases to an amount which allows the water to be more conductive and allows a large enough current for you to see the reaction happening. As this happens, you may also see some blackening of one silver electrode and some grey fuzz appearing on the other electrode. If you are using just a single 9 volt battery, try to join 3 or 4 of them together in "series" to make 27 or 36 volts. This will make the reaction happen faster. "Series" is similar to saying 'in single file.' Connect the - of the first battery to one silver electrode. Connect the + of the first battery to the - of the second. Connect the + of the second battery to the - of the third battery. Connect the + of the third battery to the other silver electrode. This example will give you 27 volts. The farther apart your electrodes are, the slower the process will be. There are some issues with having them too close together, so you may want to have them about 1 and 1/2 inch apart (1.5 inch apart). Also, initially, make sure you are not using too much water. For getting familiar with the process, I would start with between 1 and 2 cups of water maximum. That may be of some help.
