I was thinking about a single array, from the orbit it’s pretty close to a point source. > I wonder how many watts of flood light you would need. I don’t know about efficiency of that military equipment (need beam angle to compute), but I would expect with modern white LEDs you don’t need that many watts, they’re very efficient at converting electricity to light. You would probably still want liquid cooling for them, though.
