WOW, I must admire the size of the glass and its shiny fiament.

To operate it under 115 Volts at 100KW. You Need :
P = IV
I = P/ V

I = 870 Amperes

The cables feeding it must be huge. I shudder to think of the intensity of the light from this bulb or from a similar 100KW Metal Halide Lamp.

Its obvious what its purpose really was... to see how well they could get a solar panel to work if they put it right next to it haha

Haha, now that would be literally called as a Sunlamp. Testing efficiencies of solar panels would probably be a possible purpose, if not melt the thin wafer of silicon in the panels.

It says in the image that the lamp was used to model the intensity of sunlight striking the earth.

WHAT THE F**K. If we wanted light as bright as the sun we'd wait for it to come out. Obviously some people can't wait anymore

Sunlight in the lab can be easily controlled, while natural sunlight is a bit unpredictable.
