A team, from the engineering research and development company Hacksmith Industries, left many in awe when they bagged a record for building the world’s brightest outsized flashlight. Shared on YouTube by Guinness World Records (GWR), a video documents the creation of the incredible object.
“The team at Hacksmith Industries has created a torch that can project light at over 500,000 lumens! Here's how Chris and James created this absolute beast of a beam,” reads a caption shared along with the video.
The clip opens to show one of the team members comparing different types of commercially produced flashlights available in the market. It then goes on to show the material used and the actually building process.
