Lights out, spots on – up to 121 spotlights can be aligned to one focal point. For this image, the photographer took 121 individual photos, each with one illuminated spotlight, and subsequently assembled them into a complete image. It is not possible to photograph all 121 spotlights illuminated simultaneously because they emit too much light. The test chamber (top right) shows a reactor for experiments on solar hydrogen production.
