# Monolithic Light Torches The Royalty X21 is the Largest Flashlight in the World By Omar Yusuf | Published 2011-09-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royalty-x21 References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5844357/behold-the-worlds-largest-flashlight) & [ledlenser](http://www.ledlenser.com/about/release?id=40) The Royalty X21 was released a handful of weeks ago, and (at the time) could be considered among the [most powerful flashlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wuben-x2pro) with its 120 lumen capacity. Partly for curiosity's sake, but chiefly for publicity, German design firm LED Lenser built a colossal version of the Royalty X21 and won the company a Guinness World Record in the process. The larger-than-life flashlight is on showcase in Solingen, Germany and clocks in at 13 feet and 176 pounds. The shocking part of the marketing model is its light intensity: 100,000 lumens. That's enough focused energy to start a small fire! The monolithic X21 is comprised of solid aluminum and has been jammed full with [19 LED lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sk05-pro-blue-led). Even on [battery power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sodiumfrostglow-flashlight) (yep, it's battery-powered), LED Lenser explains that the device could pump out a steady 30,000 lumens! Next time I lose my keys under my bed, I'll have to borrow the giant Royalty torch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Monolithic Light Torches:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating larger, high-intensity flashlights for specialized applications. - **LED Lighting Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing brighter and more efficient LED lamps for various industries. - **Extreme Flashlight Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique and record-breaking flashlight designs for marketing and publicity purposes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Equipment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in producing advanced lighting solutions for camping, search and rescue, and other outdoor activities. - **Security and Law Enforcement:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing powerful flashlights for security personnel and law enforcement agencies that require high-intensity lighting. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in utilizing oversized and unique flashlight designs for eye-catching advertising and marketing campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Lumen Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wuben-x1-pro.md) - [Long-Range Laser Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumitwin-dl700.md) - [Powerfully Compact Tactical Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tactical-flashlight.md) - [Pocket-Sized Turbo Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xo.md) - [High-Performance Off-Grid Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acebeam-terminator-m1.md) - [Handheld High-Performance Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nitecore-edc29.md) - [High-Power Palm-Sized Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retractable-flashlight.md) - [Handy Rechargeable Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-rechargeable-flashlight.md) - [High-Power Dual Barrel Flashlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualbarrel-edc.md)
