So I was browsing through Ebay, and I stumbled upon such a lighting kit:
8 x 135W 5500K Lamps Daylight Continuous Lighting Softbox Soft Box Kit Four Head | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-x-135W-5500K-Lamps-Daylight-Continuous-Lighting-Softbox-Soft-Box-Kit-Four-Head-/140889291781?pt=UK_Photography_StudioEquipment_RL&hash=item20cda7fc05)
I also saw kits with 8 or even 10 slots (lightbulbs)
Also consider a lightbulb such as this one:
Kast Lotus bulb - bec fluorescent 85W E27 - F64 (http://www.f64.ro/products/description/Kast_Lotus_bulb-bec_fluorescent_85W_E27/index.html)
It says that is has an output equivalent with 525W incandescent.
If I put 4 of these bulbs on that lamp, will I get an 2100W light?
If I put 10 of these bulbs on a bigger lamp will I get 5250W light?
Help me understand here. What am I missing?
