Won't even need a generator to light my house up in a I'll take two

Markiplier: I bought the world brightest flashlight

The hacksmith: *are you challenging me?*

[jetsonexpensivekoi]

As cool as this “flashlight” is and as bright as it is, there’s something impressive about the form factors of the other lights, being so tiny yet being able to produce that amount of lumens is crazy!

[club]

You should use a nitrogen recycling cooling loop with a radiator to increase LED density. Since cooling is a dominant bottle neck in LED density and therefore, brightness, this would allow the flashlight to be even brighter.

[TheDarkWarrior]

Discord light theme: "Finally a worthy opponent!"

[extropiantranshuman]

2:01 love how hacksmith teaches you complex stuff in a simple way - and gives you the tools you need to succeed without pushing it on you. Way better than school for me!

[justaguy.]

Holy crap! This thing is actually scary! Not only can you blind your enemies in less than a millisecond, but you can also ram into them and practically kill them!

[kieranwhittemore]

"This is Jimmy ... he is an expert in all things I do not wanna do" LMAO

[nikkity]

"sir whats in the car"
"the unmatched power of the sun officer"

[nbome]

This is SO interesting, really freaking funny, and very informative! Thanks for all of the hard work and planning that went into all of this

[toybonniethemusicalyt]

You should try that in a tunnel with that bright giant ultimate flashlight. What would you and other people think of that being used in a dark tunnel. I would like to see that

[JoelCreates]

Chris IS too hot too handle. This reminds me of the time I made a mini sun out of 100 cheap LED light bulbs.

[xxxxxx-vqof]

Dentist: you can let your eyes open, the light is not that bright.

The light:

[Gamer-kund]

"He's an expert in all things I don't wanna do" we need more of this guy

[pREpArE]

imagine turning this on on an apartment that is very high up people would be confused and saying “bro did the sun turn on?”

[fabianamor]

Hacksmith:*turns on flashlight in a neighborhood*
Some random person:"morning already?"

[UncleSlimJimmy]

I get the feeling James is growing out his beard to a point where they'll have to make a whole episode on making some crazy powerful shaver.

[sitisarah]

Bring it to the haunted house to watch ghost 👻 !!

Ghost hunters : let's buy that most brightest flash light !!

[Justin-sjko]

If these guys get to Star Wars level of tech they could dominate the world

16:09 “You know how big a football field is right?”

Americans: Yeah, it’s a measuring unit
