Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).

LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.

Westinghouse made a 75,000 watt lamp! Also, I've seen the 50,000 watt lamp made by GE in person. The filament is HUGE, the actual diameter is quarter of an inch thick!

I read somewhere about 100kW incandescent, i think it was German, but i'm not sure. It was some sort of sun-simulating lamp from before 20's.

Here is some info about it's little brother of only 100 kW: http://www.pre.ethz.ch/facilities/vortec/ and about the 300 kW model: http://www.ornl.gov/info/ornlreview/v35_3_02/lamp.shtml I think the second is not used for solar simulation, but material processing...
