What lighting technology is it? A 120W sodium vapor lamp from a streetlight? A 200W inductively driven fluorescent torus? A 1000W incandescent monster?
It would be the equivalent of 100W LED lighting. Which, when you consider household LEDs typically only emit ~1-2W of light, 100W would be a lot of light.
They probably meant an LED that is equivalent to a 100W incandescent.
I don't know what LEDs you have, but mine usually emit 8-12W (ceiling lamps)
I know. It's a joke, and I have repaired a work light with two 50W LED modules so I know exactly how much light 100 W of LED lighting emits, and I'm pondering what it would take other technology to correspond to that.
And the input power of typical E27 household LED bulbs is usually 8-12 W. If one buys a 1-2W LED bulb, they will often find it useless and throw it out (I know because I sift through light bulb bins in shops.)
Of 100W LED. Amount of light 100W LED would emit.
Also that video has soviet osciloscope jumpscare.
I know what you meant. I literally named three non-LED devices that emit as much light as a 100W LED, or "equivalents of a 100W LED".
Your question didn't have enough words. Asking "What other kind of light would a 100 watt LED be equivalent to" would have been less ambiguous.
Well, there are only two ways I could have meant it. Of both lighting technologies being referred to here, one is LED from context. Also, no other technology can match 200W fluorescent etc. with 100 W of input power.
But yeah, I do concede that some puzzle-solving is needed if you're not familiar with the technology.
I don't think you understand that your comment made it seem like you were the one who misunderstood and didn't fully read his comment.
Ah. Ok.
