German scientists test 'artificial sun'

This article made me laugh today, and i quote from the article:

"The giant honeycomb-like setup of 149 spotlights — officially known as "Synlight" — in Juelich, about 30 kilometres west of Cologne, uses xenon short-arc lamps normally found in cinemas to simulate natural sunlight that's often in short supply in Germany at this time of year.

Would be some projector to use these [Smile]
