This is the only quantity with units of power, or luminosity, which can be formed from the universal constants: h, G, and c. It has been conjectured that it is, in fact, the maximum possible luminosity for any physical process. I will discuss the motivation for such a maximum luminosity conjecture and the surprising link with black holes and event horizons. I will present the results of a range of calculations designed to test the robustness of this conjecture.
