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.
