I have a few rechargeable spotlights in the house in case of power failures. They are in the 1 million candlepower range. This is enough to throw a visible circle on the trees 150 feet away from my house about 40 feet in diameter.

Cabelas is selling a 10 million candlepower rechargeable spotlight . Short of hosting a Hollywood premier in your backyard or guiding in planes loaded with contraband in deserted fields, what does anyone need with a 10 million candlepower spotlight?

And yet I want one.
I picked up a 3 million candlepower at Target for $40. Light up the night.

I want one of these -

Between that and the flashlight, bye-bye squirrels.
