A Flashlight That Can Start Fires and Cook Dinner Is the Best Camping Accessory

Wicked Lasersis known for its handheld optical maser and flashlight that redefine what it means to be promising . A few years ago it released a torch that was intense enough to start a fire , and now the company hasmanaged to dramatically shrink its designso you could easily bring it the next meter you go tenting and leave the matches at home .

At over eight - and - a - half inches long the FlashTorch Mini still is n’t something you’re able to nip to your keychain and keep in your pocket . But its about 40 percent smaller than the original FlashTorch , while maintain the ability to start fires , or cook dinner , thanks to its impressive 2,300 lumen output . For comparing , that ’s roughly the same brightness as a video projector used in a large lecture G. Stanley Hall .

At max brightness the FlashTorch Mini ’s rechargeable stamp battery will only last for about 30 moment . But you could dial back the lumens to a setting that ’s still bright , just not completely blinding , to max out battery life to up to 100 minute . The most important feature , however , is an automatic lockout style which prevents the $ 200 FlashTorch Mini from incidentally power on in your cup of tea , turning your camping gear into an New York minute , but presumptively unwanted , balefire .
