10 Par 40 cans / luminaires, 1000 W each.
This is about theatrical lighting.
"Par 40" refers to the size of the light fitting. The "40" is a measure of the diameter of the lens, and is the number of eighths of an inch (so a "Par 40" is 5 inches in diameter, a "Par 56" is 7 inches, etc.)
Depending on the country, the unit itself could be called a "can" or a "lantern" or a "lamp" or a "luminaire", or maybe just a "spot" or "flood", depending on its function.
Hope that helps!
The "1000 W" of course refers to the rating of the lamp, in terms of the power consumed by the bulb.

You could even leave it as "10 Par 40's, of 1000 W each". It's not good grammar, but that's the way gaffers usually refer to them.
