The Torch is bright enough to blind you, hot enough to fry an egg

wicked_torch.jpg

We've heard of a white-hot spotlight, but this flashlight is ridiculous. Manufacturer Wicked Lasers calls this monster The Torch, and the 4100-lumen light packs enough punch to literally set the world on fire, starting up a pile of loose paper in a matter of seconds. Jeez, that's hot stuff. To give you an idea, a 2000-lumen projector is considered exceptionally bright.

This 9-inch light has a big disadvantage, though. Its battery can only keep up that blinding illumination for 15 minutes. Let's take a look at a video, proving that this thing is hotter than a two-dollar pistol (and costs a lot more, too):


Pick up your own The Torch at the Wicked Lasers site for $299.99.
