Torches are an essential part of any survival kit so why go for regular stuff when you can go for the world’s most powerful flashlight. Capable of outputting 4100 lumens, this flashlight will brighten up any dark environments you find yourself in.

From Wicked Lasers, the makers of the world’s most refined lasers, comes the amazing FlashTorch, a compact (63mm x 48mm x 293mm) and portable flashlight. It’s machined from military grade anodized aluminum, giving them the durability to handle all kinds of harsh environments. It’s aluminum shell also means it is built to last several years of rugged use.

The heat resistant light reflector and lens in front of the flashlight are capable of channeling and adjusting the light from the flashlight to either produce a slim focused beam or a wide ranging floodlight. The halogen bulb supplied with this device has an expected life of over 2000 hours, making this torch reliable for years to come.

The lithium ion battery pack that comes embedded in the body of the torch is capable of powering the 100 watts halogen lamp for between 20 to 80 minutes of constant use, depending on the chosen power setting. There are 3 power settings for the torch: High-Power (which will run at 100% power), Medium-Power (which will run at 50% power), and Low-Power (which will run at 33% power). These power setting adjust the brightness of the light produced by the torch depending on your needs, and when the battery runs down, it can easily be recharged without needing to remove it from the torch. Each torch comes with the battery and charger included.

With a light output rating of 4100 lumens, this may not be the brightest flashlight out there (you should check out this other flashlight),but this one generates a ridiculous amount of heat, enough to start fires, so you should be careful of that, especially when handling the front of the torch when the light is emitted from. Also, because of the extreme brightness, you should be careful about pointing the beam of light directly into your eyes or you could end up damaging them.

The so-called world’s most powerful flashlight would be a great gift for campers who commonly find themselves in dark environments.
