Nitecore's all-new flagship EDC37 launches an 8,000-lumen strategical attack on darkness from a slim, blade-like package that fits in the palm of the hand. The full power burst won't last long, but you will enjoy over 7 hours of four-figure lumens.

They're chunky and heavy, and not the most attractive handsets around. But rugged phones are designed to shake off abuse, while boasting huge batteries and useful tools. The latest model from Ulefone has all that in spades, plus pocket cinema chops.

Tiny flashlight, tiny output, right? That's not always the case. The PicoTorch twists out over 200 lumens and burns for up to two hours a charge while dangling from a keychain. With a magnetic base, it doubles as an effective work light.

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. If you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another light source, it’s possible to create this bizarre optical effect.
