First, more details about what makes this flashlight unique. Yes, it is a real flashlight, there's no trickery, no hidden matches or lighters, and it's not touching something hot, and it really is bright. Here's a shot of the flashlight disassembled to the point of batteries being out:
And here's a closer-up shot of the business end of the light. You can see the bulb sitting inside the non-stock reflector.
As far as how to get one of these lights for yourself, Mac's Customs is where I got mine, and Mac is a regular on CandlePowerForums.com. He can make you one of these lights if you ask him nicely...
If you want to build one for yourself, it is possible, but I would highly suggest doing some reading over at CPF before attempting this. There's a lot of subtleties, and a lot of mistakes could be made that you can avoid by reading CPF.
Lastly, I'm happy to do more videos to show the awesome power of this light. Post a comment here with what you think would make a believable video and I'll go ahead and make a video gallery.
And the 900 horsepower musclecar ride is still coming...so keep checking back!

i still can't get one, were is mac's customs, all i find is some blank website that doesn't make sense, please help!!!!
A) what happens when you shine it in someone's eyes?
B) could it cook an egg?
c) Spray a bunch of Pam on the ground and see if just shining it will cause it to light.
d) wood? bark? could you take it camping to start an easy fire?
maybe u should just stand it up and then roast marshmellows.
Things to try out:
Use it at night to show the real power
Melt a GI Joe!
A glass of water...see if it steams/boils
A distance test
Go to a bad neighborhood and defend yourself with this alone
Can you do a video where the flashlight is a little further away from the paper? Like, not touching it?
I would like to see if the flashlight can cook bacon or other meat.
Live mice!!!
whats Mac's username on candlepowerforums.com?
Its a projector bulb, and 12 SMALL NmHi batteries in series. I doubt run times abd much more than a minute or two.
Mac:
Go to a city Fire station with a local engine# and crew and stage a fire demo with your flashlight. That will do it. Have you tried using a magnifying lense at the tip of the flashlight to narrow the beam to a concentrated point like a laser?
Thanks,
Mr. Jun
That's pretty awesome... Nice build!
