75,000 watt, 2.4 million lumens incandescent light bulb!

It is very efficient for an incandescent bulb

Also as this is an Incan, it is probably 100 CRI.

That is possible but who is going to pay for the tooling for a one off vastly oversized chip?

I guess we will have to crowdfund it. With our powers combined… :smiley:

Indeed :smiley:

Oh, c’mon. I got a 3AAA tulip-head zommie that can do at least 2.4M lemons.

It said so right in the ad.

Man, I’m sure glad we fixed everything that was wrong with those days.

Mmm...

Millions of lemons!

Thats a good point, isn’t the record from a Chinese flashlight something like 99 billion lumens.

I'm waiting for a flashlight that promises infinity lumens.

Five minutes later, there will be a flashlight promising infinity plus one lumens.

Gotta have that plus one!

Having spoken of Edison, please do not forget Nicola Tesla, who (IMHO) beats Edison in every field.

But GE was cheating too, they used a quad filament :expressionless:

Would make for one hell of a mule!!

Fair enough, lol.

It’s not 75k but 20k watts. “It doesn’t have a filament, it has garage door springs”

Now for the big question…WHAT WOULD THIS TRANSLATE TO IN CHINESE LUMENS???

2,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00.2 lumens!!!

it may have never been powered

i mean to REQUIRE that many watts, just means you make a big fat honking filament, which it has

the plaque doesn;t say it has ever been used….

and it may not be intended for 120VAC, which would cut the amps

it has 4 filaments and 2 connections, if it had 3 and 3, it could run on 3phase power
but of course EDISON would not have any of that
he was a DC man

The vintage in-situ photo others have posted have a sign which lists lighting times! Probably wouldn’t get away with that nowadays, damn ’elf n safety :sunglasses:

I’d take the infinity lumens since it would sell for 1/10th the price.
This is Budget light forum after all :smiley:
