Oh yes, they also draw a lot of current. Using a dozen hot lights to illuminate a car would require enough electricity to power a small town, factoring in the air conditioning required to keep the room livable. It would be much more practical to light a car with studio strobes, which are essentially very low wattage hot lights with a flash unit attached.
