This is without a doubt the brightest flashlight I have ever seen. It is dangerously bright, using a pack of 54 batteries and a mercury arc bulb to shoot a beam of light up to four miles high. Seriously folks, this is something that you would have to use responsibly. If you can light up a cloud four miles high, it is certainly enough to cause problems for air traffic, not to mention the fact that it can actually burn skin.

This flashlight on steroids was created by a dutch optics engineer by the name of Ralf Ottow. He has been making his own lights since he was eight, he is forty-five now and my guess is that he has come a long way. I will be looking forward to seeing more of his work in the future. This thing is a work of art and I love the fact that it needs a key to work.
