  1. I wonder how far away from it you can get a "sun" burn?

  2. That'd mess up your relationship with the neighbors if you could find a lamppost for the front yard it would fit into.

  3. What? No gloves? With that much light, the differential heating between fingerprinted glass and non-fingerprinted glass usually causes a bulb to explode. Seen it in theatrical lighting, can be seen with lights as low as 250w.

    And you can blow up car taillight bulbs too.

    1. Only if you touch the glass, which I did not see him do. Only the base which is fine.

  4. Lighthouse bulb maybe? Could draw out all the bugs in a square mile, you bet.

  5. I wonder if his shadow was burned into the wall. Ala Hiroshima.
