One Million Candlepower handheld flashlight

PocketBeam · Jun 22, 2004

What do you think about the Heartland America handheld flashlight at one million candlepower? Here is the link (I hope):

Million CP light??

Do you know a more powerful flashlight in that size? Is the claim BS?

Ahh-BS-choo... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif Welcome to CPF! There are many other better lights for the money.

You might be able to see a pinpoint of light from 2 miles away on a moonless night in the country, but otherwise /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif.
As for the 1 million candles claim, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif

PS - You need to fix your link. It is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twakfl.gif (gently)

Just use the cool "Instant UBB Code" URL thingy. It just asks you for the link (which you can paste in) and then it asks you to give it a name.

You can edit the your post using the "edit" button.

You'll see the link is repeated after the "]".
Between the "]" and the "[/url]" you can type something like: "click here"

[*url=http://www.abc.com/longlink.html]click here[/url*]

[the "*" have been added and are not required for a correct link]

Thanks Dano for fixing the link. Thanks bindibaggi and Size15s for telling me how to fix the link size. I knew it was too long when I posted but didn't know how to fix it.

OK, so what are the lights that are way better for the money? What is the light that is pocketable that will make the most people say WOW $%^& that is bright, or that goes a long way? In fact let me create a new trhead, so resond there if you would.
