Jan 29 2008Wicked Torch Flashlight Is Bright, Starts Fires
The Wicked Torch is a 4,100-lumen flashlight made by Wicked Lasers. It's pretty bright. There's a video after the jump of a guy setting some paper on fire with it. It can also fry an egg or melt plastic. The unit sucks so much power that the battery only last 15 minutes. Oh, and it costs $300. Which is pretty expensive for a flashlight. Expensive enough to make my wallet catch fire and burn my asscheek just thinking about it.
Video after the jump.
The Torch is bright enough to blind you, hot enough to fry an egg [dvice]
Thanks to Billy, who actually gives lessons in being cool and scoring with chicks, for the tip

So... you're lost in the forest late at night when on a camping trip, and you use the torch to help you see.
... Forest fire.

4,100 Lumens? Why? I like the lighter idea better if that's really what this is intended for (and clearly, it is).

Sounds more like a weapon to me

Awesome survival device! Not only can you see for 6 miles with it, but you can use it to create fire whenever you need it! (all of that assuming you're lost in the middle of nowhere with a backpack full of d-cell batteries)
And have you seen the dildo this company made? You can jackhammer bricks in half with it. It's awesome.
