I would imagine it doesnt need to be "Ultra-bright" it just needs to fluctuate enough that your eyes have difficulty adjusting.

again, it would need to be a combination of the contrast.
I.E. at night in the desert, it doesnt need to be that strong. During daytime, it would need to be 100 times stronger.

Wonder if there will be any law suits from fried retinas. It would be like watching an arc-welder.

So this thing is as bright as 7,5 million candles. 7,5*10^6 * 0,0012 / 100 = 90. So you say the sun is as bright as ninety candles?
