Not quite, 4000 volts at 150 amps with a specific waveform on the pulse.

I don't know if you've seen a show called "White Rabbit Project".

Episode 1 features Tory Belleci from Mythbusters standing on top of a Tesla 
coil wearing a chain mail suit and shooting lightning at stuff while cackling 
madly.  I suggest something similar for your lightning impulse simulation.

  I am building a lightning impulse simulator to IEEE specs.  Looking for a 20 
uF 6000 volt capacitor at the moment.  Found a few in Greece that were spares 
for a VOA transmitter.

  There’s something called a cable thumper.

  I am working on a piece of test gear that might be able to do this.

  Is this the point where you pull on the candleslick and slide into the secret 
McCown lab for testing?

    I am wondering if you hit a light bulb with enough voltage to vaporize the 
filament will it over pressure the envelope enough to explode?

    Must have forgot their tin-foil towels.

    I don't know what the voltage would have to be to jump a light switch, but 
I can tell you that I've seen it. A few years ago, a tree fell in my sister's 
neighbor's yard and knocked the primaries down on top of her secondaries. So 
that was at least 12-13kV. It was ugly. Whole house had to be rewired.

      Seriously...

       

      When they publish things like this:

       

        "With that flash, every lightbulb in my house had exploded! The old 
lightbulbs merely popped and shattered. Those new lightbulbs (CFLs) were on 
fire! I could see smoke, smell burning plastic. I had no idea what happened."

       

      So, every lightbulb was on?  If not the overvoltage jumped the switch?  
How much of an overvoltage event does it take to make a lightbulb pop like you 
see in movies?  I have never seen it happen.  Especially difficult when the 
switch is off.  

       

      All this happened because of a smart meter?

       

      And later:

        "All the while I was experiencing more electrical issues and finding 
more damage. The craziest thing that occurred was I literally was shocked 
getting into the shower! I went to grab the nozzle to direct the water down and 
when I grabbed it, I literally got a jolt of electricity, my hand stuck, my 
knees buckled and down I went. I didn’t take a shower after that, needless to 
say.

         

        When I came downstairs, I heard water and could hear popping. The main 
water line from my well had exploded and electricity was sparking from it."

      Seth, was that meant to be tongue-in-cheek?
