I would think so.
Wassup, you have an amazing gift of over stating the obvious. Let me see, I'll just change the circuit breaker. Yeah right. And burn up all the neighbors wiring and set my house on fire...lol. |

If that has the efficience of your standard lightglobe then 90% of the power going into this beast will be given off as heat. That thing runs at 870Amps! But only 115V. You could not run that thing from your wall socket. Why would you anyway? |

I think this bulb will be illegal soon. Isn't that something :( . OK who will except the challenge of doeing this in florescent? You know, we must use the much safer mercury vapor. |

Must be for some laboratory experiment since it was used to simulate sunlight.
Oddly enough, this page is one of the top sources for information on 100,000 watt lightbulbs on the internet.

I was watching a program on tv about modern lighthouses and they only use a few small bulbs, like only something about 4cm tall. I am not sure of the technology they use, I expected it to be HUGE!
Even the old ones were not as chunky as the bulb featured in this thread... |

Or, maybe it was just another in the long line of BFC (Brute Force Cybernetics) project, from the company that creats a need then fills it. Who knows?

Ha the person who made it was probably tired of using a magnifying glass to burn little ants! Crule person! |

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

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 |

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