THE flashlight for Greg

[TMetzinger]

I think Greg B. was looking for a bright flashlight so that he could preflight the tall tail of his jetliner. Look no further, Greg... THE TORCH is here.

4100 lumens - able to light paper and cigarettes, or cook an egg, yet small enough to carry past the TSA checkpoint - this is the tool for you.

That would make an awesome landing light, mounted on the front of an experimental...

the battery only lasts 15 minutes and the thing is a fire hazard

Hook to the onboard electrical and ummm....an icepack maybe?

Only when it's an inch from shredded paper... and that's not the point. Think "this one goes to eleven..."

Somebody finally invented the light-saber.

300 bucks? Thanks, but no thanks. I had one at home that is more than adequate and it was free.

I can see it now: "Airflow required for cooling"
You need an airspeed switch so it can't be on under X knots(P-switch? Q-switch? I forget what they are called)

Holy cow! Reallly impressive. No way would I want one of those in my flight bag though. There have already been reports of cockpit fires due to similar lights turning on inadvertantly. I didn't see if it has a "Safety" on the switch. As somebody already said, they should be popular with the Star Wars crowd.

For $2000 I will build you one that goes to twelve...
