Powered by 8 D cell batteries and weighing a handy 4.5 lbs it easily puts out more than 300 lumens of light!
-The lamp is an incandescent designed to be an extra headlight for off road vehicles
-solidly constructed out of duct tape, bare copper wire, rubber bands, and mdf
-the (almost) best thing to come out of 5 minutes of my time and things laying around the house
-0% waterproof and 100% awesome
-easy single mode operation: just shove the loose copper wire under a rubber band and you are good to go
-totally not safe
All joking aside I think that it would be pretty cool to replace the Incandescent bulb with a high output LED, use some lithium batteries, get a waterproof project box, add a driver for different modes, somehow get the LED to point towards the reflector right at the focal point,.... you know what I am going to stick with buying flashlights and making knives not the other way around.
and comparing my thrunite T10 which runs off of a single AA, weighs about 1/8 lbs, and puts out about 170 lumens
