Now THIS is a caving light...

[Steven Johnson]

...sometimes you've just got to do some damage -- which is where The Torch from Wicked Lasers comes in. The 4100-lumen flashlight is being considered for the Guiness Book of World Records, and can ignite paper, light cigarettes, melt plastic, and even fry an egg -- but only has a fifteen minute battery life. Check a video of The Torch taking out a pile of plastic bags after the break, and hit the read link for even more high-candlepower destruction.

Perhaps we should add, "Burn only Acetylene" to the caver mantra.

Ah BUT you'd need a GBFO battery or generator to run for a decent trip, just imagine it, "Yup I can see for miles, but the genny's starving me of oxygen.......cough, cough"

The flashlight that you don't want to drop in your lap. Image crawling along have this thing attached to your helmet and then bumping into someone's butt in a crawl (don't say it never happen to you, if it hasn't ....time to go caving).
