How to make a STEAMPUNK 35W Incandescent FLASHLIGHT | DIY Powerful Emergency Torch

What's up, guys! This time we make a really cool-looking Steampunk/Retrofuturistic Incandescent Flashlight that's also quite practical as a rechargeable battery-driven emergency torch for when you have power-outs or in survival situations.
This torch emits light for about 40-60 minutes on a full charge.
The charger I use is a 12V 1A DC adapter and takes anywhere from 2-4 hours to fully charge the flashlight.
I hope you enjoyed watching this video! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, share, and subscribe to my YouTube channel! Thanks!
