- jacquesm 3y agoOverall less energy but locally much more due to the fact that it is focused. By comparison: a lighter doesn't have a whole lot of energy, but it outputs that energy in a tiny volume resulting in combustion. The lights they used are not quite lighters but they can cause fires if you concentrate their output in a small enough area. A tarmac radiating heat is an enormous amount of output but on a W/sqm basis for delivered power it is a fraction of what those lights can do.
