Okay, not literally, but this thing is ridiculously bright. I decided to go with a Romisen flashlight, the price was great on dealextreme, but then I discovered Shining Beam. Tuesday I ordered the flashlight, and it came today. Shining Beam typically sells modded flashlights that you can find on websites like dealextreme. Both websites sell flashlights at a great price, yet work ridiculously well. The Romisen flashlight I ordered has a modded clicky switch in the back so that you can momentarily turn it on, and upgraded with a CREE Q5 LED. The flashlight is fantastic, and the build quality feels wonderful, the best part though was the price, which can’t be beat for what you are getting. Once again the thing is bright, and you must be careful operating it so you don’t hurt your eyes, like those guys on the freeway that upgraded their headlights to HID lamps and either never properly aimed them, or aren’t running them with lenses, which in that case totally blind you when they are behind you, and you want to kill them.

So you are reading this and thinking either whoa cool! or eh, totally lame. See, last fall I found myself on a hike at night, with a small toy-like LED flashlight that had some luminance, but just not enough. Later I started doing a little bit more research and came up with what I got, and I am more than happy with it. I think my next flashlight though I might was something adjustable, regardless, I encourage you to check out Shining Beam and Candle Power Fourms if you think this might be something that interests you.

Here is a link to the flashlight I bought, they also sell it in black,
