" You don't need light meters to tell the difference …… there is a vast potential energy savings factor in this revolutionary lens design due to the extraordinary amounts of additional light transmitted " http://www.xenotechusa.com/share/press/10-07-99.html#1%20TOP

* The efficiency of the Luxor Sky Beam has been greatly improved recently by:
- Installing new 94% reflectors. The reflector is a computer designed, curved mirror that collects the light from the Xenon lamp and focuses it into a narrow beam. Since the old reflectors were only 77% reflective, fewer lamps now produce the same light.
- Removal of obstructions, above the Xenon light fixtures, allowing more light to get out of the building.
- Repositioning each fixture directly under a window to allow the maximum light to escape from the building.
- Changing to a new, longer life lamp supplied by Xenotech.
"Fun Facts:"
- 39 modified, high tech, Xenon light fixtures comprise the light at the top of the Luxor.
- On a clear night Luxor's Sky Beam is visible up to 250 miles away from an airplane at cruising altitude.
- 10 miles into space one could read a newspaper by Luxor's Sky Beam.
- Luxor's Sky Beam, made of Xenon lights, is the most powerful beam of light in the world.
- The light is 40 times the power of a strong searchlight and has over 40 billion candle power.
- To produce this much light requires approximately 371,000 watts of power.
- Luxor's light is one of only two things that can be seen from outer space. The other is the great wall of China.
