Can the Lightburn libraries you have created be used in Ai, or Inkscape, etc? If so, how?

No, they're Lightburn specific files and can't be loaded in any other software. However, once loaded in LB, you can export graphics as an svg file to use elsewhere.

OK thanks!

I'll have to buy Lightburn so I can export them. Our laser doesn't support LB in case you were wondering!

You can also use Lightburn for free for the 30-day trial period and do all of your importing and exporting during that time frame.

It's a long story but before we got our laser (Full Spectrum) I thought we were going to get one compatible with Lightburn. So I have already used up my 30 day trial.

You don't open them directly, you save them to hard disk first then 'load' them into your art library in Lightburn

All laser related attachments, no video, I can't afford the drive space. You can use YouTube, Google Drive or any cloud service and embed the video here.
