Congrats to our friends at LED Lenser in Germany!!! We've won the Guinness Book of World Records with the largest flashlight ever!!! This weekend at the Festival of Lights in Solingen, Germany LED Lenser unveiled the world's largest flashlight – and it was CONFIRMED!...By the Guinness Book of World's Records.
Here are the "Fast Facts":
• Material Weight: 287 lb / 130 kg of aluminum
• Batteries Weight: 176 lb / 80 kg
• Length: 13 feet / 400 cm
• Number of LED Lamps: 19
• Output on Batteries: 30,000 lumens on battery
• Output Hard-wired: 100,000 lumens!! with 230 volts of power
• Design: Based on the X21
• Design and manufacturing time: 230 hours
The old record was held by Moonlight Trading LLC from the
United Arabian Emirates (UAE). Their flashlight size was 227 cm. Ours is 400 cm !!!
The basic restrictions for the size record from Guiness were:
1. It must be the at least 10xbigger version of an originally existing consumer product (X21)
2. It has to be made from the same material like the consumer product
3. It has to provide the same basic function (give light)
4. It has to run battery driven similar to a real flashlight.
The perfect EDC flashlight?
