          Given the power output that Robertson cites the only way the power-light description makes any sense is if they were speaking of 6-10 lamp post bulbs for about 0.05-0.1s. If that is what they're talking about then yes it is possible. If they're talking about lighting up all the buildings on a city block that it's absurd.

          Perhaps the broadcast commenter was referring to the ultra-low voltage lighting systems that will be available to the general public in the next 5 years or so. Oh wait…that report was made 20 years ago!
