The Worlds Most Powerful Flashlight? . November  2007

Youd hardly think something this small could be so powerful but with a light beam that can illuminate objects over half a mile away, youd be wrong.

It is called the Xenide from AE Light - the 25W version - sporting a HID halide light-source with a rated brightness of 1,500 Lumens that can light up a target more than 900m away. A burglar would have to run a very long way indeed before dodging this beam.

It's powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery with 120 minutes of life and it can survive being submerged in up to 2m of water - for a short time.

Still, considering it costs over £210, you really dont want to be waving this around near any H2O.

If its style and luxury youre after though, check out the cleavage-hugging SureFire Titan for £250.
