Seems to my ignorant eyes that we could always somehow split the power received into more manageable units, even if it has to be splitted a million times, 🤷‍♂️.

So if I'm wearing an Arduino to power some LED's for cosplay, how often do I have to get struck by lightning to keep it going?

Only once, and they'll remain lit for as long as it matters to you.

Hit a blunt to get lit for half a day.
Get hit by lightning to be lit for the rest of your life.
