What's up, guys! This time we make a really coollooking Steampunk/Retrofuturistic Incandescent Flashlight that's also quite practical as a rechargeable batterydriven emergency torch for when you have powerouts or in survival situations.
This torch emits light for about 4060 minutes on a full charge.
The charger I use is a 12V 1A DC adapter and takes anywhere from 24 hours to fully charge the flashlight.
I hope you enjoyed watching this video! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, share, and subscribe to my YouTube channel! Thanks!
