Yes, I was just interested in how bright that light could be.

For example a 1 kW LED could be much brighter than a 1 kW incandescent light.

Also a halogen light will output a fuck ton more heat which might have contributed to the fire depending on how far away the person was from the light.

Iirc max efficiency of any light is around 600 lumens per watt, so a theoretically perfect light source that's 7000 watts would hit 4 or 5 million lumens. Probably more like 3 million for real, physical lights that are only 80% or so efficient.

That seems like a lot more than you need unless you're simulating the sun or something for a shot. So probably not an LED
