More power...


Sometimes a really bright flashlight is just what you need. Then there's the 'Wicked Lasers Torch'. Packing a crazy 4100 lumen brightness - this flashlight can literally start stuff on fire if you point it in one place too long. The downside is the battery life..only about 15 blinding minutes. Price: about 300 USD.

Order info and video of burning random items via the Wicked Lasers site:

But, maybe that's not enough. If you're a bit of a hack, you might be interested in rigging your own 'really bright' flashlight. A dutch optics engineer has built his own plasma arc flashlight that can generate 38 million candle power of illumination.
