Wicked Lasers - "The Torch"
Packaging:
Wicked Lasers packages their Torch Flashlight in a cardboard box. Once the box is opened, there are three boxes, along with the user's manual. The largest of the three boxes, approximately 15" long, contains the Torch (top), while the box on the left contains the charger, and the box on the right contains the battery.

The battery is quite interesting, and seems to consist of 12x 3A NiMh batteries - 14.4V. The charger also connects to the battery in a unique fashion - there are magnetic leads that hook on. There is an option to charge at 0.9A or 1.8A. The 0.9A charge is suggested for battery packs between 1100mAh and 2100mAh. Larger batteries (over 2100mAh) should use the 1.8A charge cycle. It also uses a pulse/negative pulse charging technology, which increases the battery's cycle life. There is a temperature lead you can attach to the battery which monitors how hot the battery gets (shown in left picture).
The flashlight itself is very impressive and sleek looking, and has a nice weight to it. Since it's manufactured from aircraft grade aluminum, the user won't feel the need to be gentle with it. The lens is quite thick, and is heat resistant due to how hot the flashlight gets. The aluminum acts as a huge heatsink, and helps to cool the flashlight off nicely. There is a good grip on the light, in case your hands get sweaty from holding it.

The head of the flashlight has a nice look to it, and proudly displays the Wicked Lasers logo. On the rear of the flashlight, we see the twist off cap that holds the battery, and the on/off button.
