How bright is the world s brightest flashlight? Really freakin bright, says the man who designed it.
The comically large flashlight shines at a record-breaking intensity, enough to light up an entire football field at night.
It s called the Nitebrite 300, and it s the brainchild of Chris Thiele, an electronic designer who works for the powerhouse Canadian YouTube channel Hacksmith Industries in Kitchener, Ont.
