Nope, it’s not a laser.  This is a 12v flashlight bulb which has been ‘overdriven’ to create 4000 lumens of light.  That’s enough to start things on fire.  The project is from Makezine, so maybe you can make your own.  Side note: I’m sure this isn’t dangerous at all… ;)

This is a 12V bulb which is being overdriven to 14+V, to about 140 watts, with an estimated light output of about 4000 lumens. Compare that to a regular 2D MagLight, which is much, much less than 50 lumens. (makezine)

Great for these: Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts & Search & Rescue & plain camping anyplace. Nice. Phaser Fire One. (see Star Trek classic episodes where Sulu uses Phaser to warm rocks from the cold). Same concept. Great in Survival Gear.
