For reference, this is a 1200 watt stadium light: https://www.ledlightingsupply.com/led-outdoor-lights/led-flo...

So it's not unfair to say that you're off by a order of magnitude. For a single stand, 2 orders if counting all the stands.

1400 W is a lot by conventional room lighting standards, but not if your objective is recreating daylight indoors.

I can’t believe he did that in an enclosed space. “It’s like having a bonfire in the room” indeed.

Before I even click that link I'm going to assume it's photoninduction.

Edit: It was! That mad lad!
