We have reported in the past about the cool and dangerous laser products from Wicked Lasers (e.g.: Green Laser, Blu-ray Laser. Now they topped themselves with THE TORCH.

The Torch is the world's brightest and most powerful flashlight.

Update 02/07/08:
New 5,000lm Polarion PH50/PF50 is now the World's most powerful flashlight

It is capable of melting plastic, lighting paper on fire within seconds, and if you like, fry an egg or a marshmallow on a stick. See a video below that shows how the flashlight burns up a pile of paper.
At 4100 lumens, The Torch is 100 lumens more powerful than The Polarion Helios (Update 02/07/08: Polarion claims their PH40 has closer to 4,200 lumens, we are looking further into this), the former most powerful flashlight. Apparently Wicked Lasers has The Torch currently in review at the Guinness Book of World Records.

Measurements of the torch are 57mm x 230mm. The battery lasts for 15min. The 4100 lumens can be adjusted via a high efficiency reflector. The casing is made from aerospace grade aluminum.
