4100lm?

Being able to cook eggs on the lens - wow - thats some heat. Expected run time of about 10 minutes isnt too good though!

Apologies - showing my newness here.

There is pretty much ALWAYS a more powerful torch. There are tons of homebrews that blow past these and manufacturers make specialty lighting devices for the military,etc that continue to surpass older models.

I was reading about an 18,000 lumen homebrew flashlight that uses 8 18650 batteries, 8 SST-90s at about 9 amps each!

This is why I have joined here - to learn that there is more to a torch than buying one and sticking batteries in.

What sorta heat do these mega torches generate? Must be phenomenal!

So if I get one of these I can light paper on fire? Can any other torches do that?

Last time I saw a "The Torch" on the BST, nobody wanted to buy it for a long time... :shakehead

That thing is for showing off cooking eggs, but there are better ways to cook eggs!

Very true but saves on dishes if you're camping!

The torch was originally designed by cmacclel (mac) in 2006. Wicked Lasers licensed production later.

See 'The BIG Lights' for the most powerful torches.
