thanks for the research. this article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2033886/India-Pakistan-border-visible-space.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2033886/India-Pakist... may give further insight. from the picture, one can estimate that lights are separated by approx 20 meters, and the length of the lighted border is about 2000 km. This gives about 100 000 floodlights, which is consistent with the Wikipedia figure. Those lights seem rather powerful. I would not be astonished if they were 1kW each (might be much smaller if made of LED, but the yellow-ish color suggests it's not). This gives 100 MW of lighting power. Crap, that's a lot.
