Did anyone watch the show last night. he had a torch on there that could preject 9 miles and cook objects close to it. I probably cant afford one but he never said who made it so I cant find out.

anyone know what it's called?

There is a bit of info here

From what he was saying, it gives a whole new meaning to the term 'hot dog'

Link doesn't appear to work

wow 54 batteries.... I dont think I could afford them. let alone the torch!!!

Can't believe you were more interested in the torch than Catherine Jenkins!!

Sadly at my age the torch is more attainable...

Look slike a superb anti-dogging device to try down the local park

It seems that there are other 'world's most powerful' torches out there

With this one you can start fires, scramble eggs and although it doesn't mention it, probably use it as a torch too And all for $300

LOL @ Daily Mail...

"The world's brightest torch..."

"Some flashlights pump out more light..."

I wonder what the bods at health and safety have to say about it.

Ralf Ottow was standing in front of his bathroom mirror one morning when he noticed that his forehead was sunburned. He hadn’t been out tanning—his homemade flashlight had fried his skin.

It looks easy enough, get a big million candle power type torch and the discharge lamp and gear out of a Xenon car headlight then find enough batteries to power the thing and of you go for about 5 mins until the batteries croak then recharge again! Certainly can be done in a reasonably locost way if you want, but beware of the lamp UV output, you can get arc-eye from these things!
