The original "books" had a fair bit of weird stuff like this.

If you had access to enough explosive to do significant damage, you are already in the terrorist world.  

The amount described, unconstrained, in a light bulb might generate a damaging boom, but is more in a pyrotechnic level than site erasing demolition level.

Most compounds still require an det cap, being made to burn if merely ignited.
