@MrsMouse@social.dsmouse.net I think the official term for that is a metric fuckton of lumens

@paco@infosec.exchange 683 lumens = 1 watt of visible radiant power So that would require at least: 1×10¹⁵ / 683 ≈ 1.46×10¹² watts That is 1.46 terawatts of visible light Hiroshima yield was about 15 kilotons TNT, roughly 6.3×10¹³ joules So if this ridiculous lamp emitted its claimed lumens for 6.3×10¹³ J / 1.46×10¹² W every 43 seconds it would emit a Hiroshima bomb’s worth of energy in visible light alone, under the most generous possible physics. So... the sidewalk would... be on fire?
