DIY Spotlight From A Flashlight

This project is quick and easy to put together, yet really impressive. Even more so in person than in the video. The flashlight I used for this video is a ThruNite TN12. It's awesome. Links to check it out are further down in the description, so click 'Show more'!

Thanks to ThruNite for sponsoring this video! I bought the TN12 for myself because it truly is an awesome light that I'm very happy to recommend. It's a high quality flashlight with a great price, thanks to factory direct sales. You can check it out in ThruNite's official store here: http://www.thrunite.com/ Or in the ThruNite Amazon store (Links to ThruNite Amazon stores outside the US are posted further down): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEWOCP0/

With this flashlight conversion I was lighting up trees as bright as day at 300 yards and further. By adjusting the flashlight's position on the block the light can be made to focus to either a narrow beam for maximum range, or a softer spot to provide more even lighting.

The makeshift bat signal shown later in the video was created as an afterthought to the main project and it really turned out great. That could be a fun one to use around town.

Parts:
(1) Flashlight (I used the ThruNite TN12)
(2) 2x2 Inch Planks (Approximately 30 inches in length for the base, but the focal distance can vary depending on the lens. The second block should be as long as the flashlight used.)
(3) Large Magnifying Glass (Mine was 5 inches in diameter)
(4) Velcro Straps (Or large rubber bands)

Optional:
(5) Black Spray Paint
(6) Tripod
(7) Nail
(8) Craft Foam/Cardboard (For cutting shapes to project in the beam)
