Checking here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_magnitude the sun is listed as “about 400,000 times as bright as mean full Moon” so pretty accurate.
You do know the moon doesn’t generate its own light, right?
A mirror doesn’t generate its own light either, but would you try shooting a weapons grade laser into one and pointing it at one of your eye sockets?
The original post is equivalent to saying “this mirror is 1/8 the brightness of the light bulb in my room” and then buying 8 mirrors and turning off the light bulb.
