Nice.

Considering you can pick up a used dvd burner for 20 bucks this looks doable.

[Fadex]

Sweet...I can't wait till they have a huge balloon arrangement at the ball game:devil:

[BrasilNuts]

WOW!!! I am so gonna get in trouble with this. Anybody have any idea what kind of range you could get with that?

Wouldn't think too far.

[Guest bkelm18]

It would be visible for a pretty good distance but I doubt the strength would last that far.

[alwayspackin]

I smell trouble. I would love to have one. It would be great for camping and etc.

[Guest jackdog]

yup me thinks trouble is on the way

[MudBugjr]

They have had ways to turn a cheap laser pointer into a burner that would start a match on YouTube. Don't have to take apart a dvd burner for that.

EXPENSIVE, but AWESOME. And it only has a 15-minute runtime.

[Guest Archimedes]

Love lifehacker.....

BTW, you can have a brand-new DVD burner for about $20.

I use http://www.newegg.com to buy all my computer-related stuff.

Don't forget your Darth Vader flashlight !

[Guest RISC777]

Or just burn the retinas out with a 25 million candle power HID Xenon flashlight (1,100 lumens; 80 minutes at full charge; friggin car headlight bulb in it; shoulder strap included; available at your local Auto Zone; 12-volt DC auto adapter).

And your back-up light with handy bayonet!

That is too cool. I have one question, about the movie. Did you see the look on the cat's face when he started talking? I think they might have been leading into some additional fun. That is after you have sparked all you matches, poped all the kids ballons and fried the wife's new bathroom wall paper.

Here kitty........
