[Pierre C Belarge]

I was researching some other stuff and came across this flashlight.
I thought it might interest some of you guys.

It must go through batteries awfully fast.

I have a rechargeable million candlepower spotlight, and it lasts about two or three minutes of continuous use after being fully charged.

I can't wait to own one. I'll keep a supply of them stocked in the house for emergencies when the power goes out so I don't get bored sitting around with nothing to do. (Nothing like your house on fire to get you moving)

WARNING! Use only in areas containing a fully-operational sprinkler system! :grin:

That's exactly what I want in a 300 dollar flashlight. One that will self-destruct in your hand within seconds.

Well for that kind of money you need some special affects and entertainment. Otherwise it would be pretty boring.

They charge that much because it is the only way to pay the insurance premiums for product liability.

Whoever ends up buying one of those will end up getting burned. Ha!

I'll be here all week....and please don't forget to tip your waitresses.

4100 lumens to burn paper? My light is only 1 lumen and can do that!

You need a horse to carry enough batteries to use it. I have a 2-c cell mag with the 2 watt lamp it was 40 bucks but awesome.

I must admit, that thing can do some neat tricks...

I can see the college pranks now... some jock running around with that flashlight and a stencil of a unicorn. "Dude you got a knarly sunburn!"

I like the "rolex flashlight" mentioned there: http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/home_journal_news/4233287.html
