Australians collecting torches as part of an enlightened international community online
June 24, 2022
Most Australian households will have a few torches here and there — some working, some flat, broken or forgotten — but for the likes of Pat from Melbourne, that number is closer to 180.
The Blackburn local, who goes by the online moniker of Sillen and has withheld his last name in respect for the torch-testing community's code of anonymity, records all his torches in a spreadsheet.
He lists the brand, the type of LED and battery, the amount of light it produces, and the distance the beam travels.
