The modern "bulb" in a 150-year-old lighthouse.
  • That's the difference between making a light that can be seen over a large area vs lights to brightly illuminate a large area. Lighthouses only need to be seen not illuminate the sea.

    But yeah, I would have guessed it to be higher as well.

  • I feel betrayed...
  • Because when looking to replace work horses with a steam engine you didn't care what the absolute peak output of a horse was. You needed to know how big of an engine you needed based on how large the team of horses already powering the application was.

  • A supportive husband
