Streamlight did a 5 million candlepower light for NASA in 1973. That's about 62.85 million lumens :eek: with a light bulb. Their original flashlight was a "Streamlite" made hand held carried like a 6 volt lantern with a shoulder strap that held the battery pack. That was a 1 million candlepower number for about 12.57 million lumens from a light bulb.

Popular with wealthy boaters as the combo was about $500 back then. It eventually led to rechargeable police lights called SL20 that are still used to this day by a few small town police forces :thumbsup: (such as Emporia VA).

25 Megalumen flashlight cooled via liquid nitrogen for about 6000 dollars would there be interest in such a special lantern? It would require 1 liter of nitrogen for cooling the drivers and the Cockcroft–Walton generator. It would Provide 30 minutes of light due to the limitation cooling system.

:eek: Lost our keys down a bottomless pit did we,or the wife's purse I can't Imagine a use for something like this WOW.
