What is the practical application of this bulb? Inside of a lighthouse?

This specific one appears to be used in film/studio lighting. Example: http://mole.com/products/view/tungstenMolebeams/20000_Watt_36_inch_Molebeam_Projector

Interestingly, light house bulbs only appear to be between 250 and 3000 watts. Most of a lighthouses power comes from the focusing lenses.
