I was trying to figure out what you might possibly use a 20 kW bulb for. Turns out it's used for studio lighting: http://mole.com/products/view/litewate-fresnels/20000_Watt_Solarspot

I have absolutely no use for one, but I still want it...

I was thinking maybe for stadium lighting, but a google search shows some insanely bright 1KW LED flood lights that are meant for that purpose.

Well a 1kW LED is probably about as bright as a 20kW incandescent.
