Yeah, I've heard about those, but I can guarantee that's one fleshlight I will never own. :)

you don't get mad too easily do you? I would be mad... I would cry... I would kill myself... no i wouldn
t i would have the same reaction as you... I would post a pic of this one LED, but it's like 12:30 in the morning, and i have school, no thx, tomarrow though... but you are a little weird... well so am I, for example...I have two legs! and
I jump higher then this one black kid in my grade, he's about 6'1" he was moved up to Junior Varsiy football, cuz hes athletic and...black...(IM NOT RACIST!!!!) I swear I can jump higher him, I'm 5'2" and white... i'll post a pic of...wow... really off-topic oh well! my jump or my leg tomarrow, oh and i'm 14 in 8th grade.
I have a small ( about 15cm long) incan torch and the bulb is only about 1cm wide but it can still light up my room as bright as day i shone it in my brother's eye and he went blind for 2 minutes :) I'd post a pic cept i can't find my camera sry.

Then again, there are those hand-cranking things.
Well, with LED lights they are powerful and last for a long time. Most of my powerful lights on full power will last 1-2 hours and that's with a rechargable battery. :) Some of my LED lights will run for 70 hours on low on a pair of CR123A lithium batteries, like you'd use in a camera, etc.
I have some of the hand cranking things. I thought they were cool, but now I think they are retarded. :) The new LED lights are way smaller and blow them out of the water as far as light output.
I'd estimate those crank up LED lights put out around 10-15 lumens, these new little LED lights can put out 130-200 lumens.

Yeah, I have some around, they are handy. They are good to keep in the car too. I actually carry a small flashlight on my belt daily. Sounds nerdy, but you'd be surprised how much you use a little flashlight when you have it on you. Normally you'd be like "Fuck, I can't see, it's too dark." and you wouldn't bother trying to find a flashlight, etc. Now it's like "It's dark in there" and I instantly whip out a flashlight and light shit up. I should just be a COP so I have an excuse to carry all my gear. :)
Here's my set. That gray one charges at an outlet which saves on batteres, then a regular one and a couple small ones. Also, while it's not technically a flashlight this lantern has gotten me through a lot of storms. I also have one of those ones you shake. I didn't include it because it sucks.
I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's

Nice. :) I have one of those shakeup ones too, got it as a gift. It does kinda suck. You have to shake it a lot according to the instructions and I usually get tired of shaking the thing. It's not very bright unless you shake the living shit out of it.

That's how I read it at first....

Do you have a link to the product description? I could let you know what I think. I might be able to find you something better.
LOLWUT

I see you bought Craftsmen. Good choice! My friends bought 2 and my friend is so careless. It's been dropped dozens of times, thrown, and cracked but still works!
I have a Forever Flashlight. Its LED.
You shake it like your masturbating and light shoots out.
I wish light shout out of my penis :(

Check this one out guys!
It's all I got right now.
If this is like porn to photofiles I guess this is like asian porn were all the guys dicks are really small.

Sorry for the double post but making grammar errors really bugs me.

The power isn't the issue, it's the LED's it's using. The LED's in those crank up lights are way out-dated. They are probably just basic 5mm LED's. If you replaced them with the latest and greatest LED's those crank up lights would be 10-20x brighter.
The newer LEDs are getting more efficient, which means if you feed them the same power as you do the older style LED's, they will be much brighter.
Again, not technically a flashlight but these can be your best friends when the power goes out. It runs on wax. In terms of candlepower I'm gonna say, one. And the warming glow smells like watermelon.

Why is there not a fleshlight in the first reply? Disappointment.
And the only flashlight I own is one that doesn't work but has a nifty container full of drill equipment that don't even fit in the flashlight. Ch'yeah.
I made a space ship that can go faster then LED light.
But not normal light.
Saw this and it made me laugh so hard. what are the chances of seeing an add that involves a thread I'm posting in? I saw this add in when I was reading this very thread!
At 11/2/07 01:06 AM, KemCab wrote: So, you won't get too much extra power if you crank harder?
Or, in theory, couldn't you just replace those outdated LEDs with newer ones?
Those lights usually max out at some point. I'd have to take one apart and take some meter readings to see what kind of power is being delivered to the LED's. The new LED's might be tricky to replace the old ones because they mount differently. Also those 5mm LED's kinda have a built in lens that projects the LED's light forward in a beam. The newer LED's aren't as focused and need a reflector or additional optic to focus their light. Maybe sometime I'll try and modify a crank light with one of the new LED's.

Some of those ads are probably targeted to the text on the page. Probably a Google ad or something, it advertises stuff that's related to the content on the page. :)
Here's a picture of the Cree XR-E LED in one of my little flashlights. The LED consists of the emitter, and a glass dome which is basically a small lens. The emitter is the part glowing, the glass dome is the round part around it. I took this pic with the flashlight on low, with a quick exposure, and I think even a nuetral density fitler infront of the light, so it wouldn't over expose.
Unfortunately I can never find my flashlights :(
Also they're cheap, I don't even know why I have them
This is the waterproof torch my dad got when he was in the navy around 1972 and it still works, I bet it's not waterproof now!
sorry for bad pic, couldn't find cord for my decent camera
Here's what the Cree X-RE LED looks like when projected and focused on the wall:
Here's the Cree XR-E Led mounted to a small circuit board. These new LED's are designed to be surface mountable, like most other electronic components found on modern circuit boards:

Oh you have underestimated the valor of the Newgrounds. [The fleshlight is two posts down on page 2.]
Oh and this isn't exactly my flash light, [i am away at a university and mine is at home] but its extremely similar. 1 mil candle power!
Here's something that may give you an idea of what these things can do. Can you see the flashlight in my hand? It's about the size of a lipstick, yet it puts out around 130 lumens of light! A 3 D cell Maglite puts out around 20-25 lumens, and they are huge:
