Currently being reviewed by The Guinness Book of World Records, The Torch is the world's brightest and most powerful flashlight. This flashlight is easily capable of melting plastic, lighting paper on fire within seconds, and if you want, frying an egg or a marshmallow on a stick! At 4100 lumens, The Torch is 100 lumens more powerful than The Polarion Helios, the former most powerful flashlight. Looking to buy a bright flashlight? This flashlight torch will not disappoint you.


So how did we make such a powerful, bright flashlight? The Torch uses an incredible halogen light bulb rated at 100 Watts and runs on a custom built high voltage rechargeable battery. To keep the front lens from shattering due to the immense heat generated, The Torch flashlight is equipped with a specialized heat resistant glass lens and is encased in a durable, military grade aluminum case.

I guess that's at least enough time to fry an egg.

How in the world do you get an egg on a stick to fry it?

Boil the egg first--then you do not need a flashlight. :D

We used to cook lunch on halogen lamps all the time when I was working construction*. When I was a kid, my father and I would use one for warmth when we were working in the garage in the winter.

The impressive part of that technology is the battery. The lamps have been around longer than I have.




*(The crazy one was when I was working with electricians and they would hook up a pack of hot dogs to some 110 or 220. Instant hot lunch for everyone!)
