I was in a war museum in Malta last week and they had a searchlight from WWII. It stated it could produce 2 billion candlepower with a beam range of 5 miles powered by a 90 Watt Lister generator at 120 Amperes.
This seems like a whole lot of candlepower from a relatively small amount of input power.
Something with those figures just didn't feel right.
