Reportedly, German Zweibrüder Optoelectronics has created a gaint flashlight as big as a Volkswagen Golf with an array of 19 high-powered LED lights.
The Germans have built a flashlight that is four meters long. That is thirteen feet long in the old money, which marks a world record for the biggest flashlight (electric torch) ever made. It has placed its makers firmly into the Guinness Book of Records.
Zweibrüder Optoelectronics designed this giant-sized device as part of the celebrations for the Lichternacht (the Festival of Lights), held in Solingen, in the German state of north Rhine-Westphalia.
According to the company, the giant LED flashlight consumes 1300 Watts, which is roughly the same amount of electricity as a small electric kettle. The LEDs in the torch will last for at least 100,000 hours; which is more than 11 years of uninterrupted lighting.
