Hey guys!
I want to buy a nice torch that would be able to burn stuff like paper and whatnot.

What would I need?

I was taking a look at 'the torch' from Wickedlasers, but I don't want to buy that, because I thought there would probably be cheaper torches that can do the same.

Would something like this be able to do stuff like burning?

Also, what would a torch like this be able to do? I know it won't be able to burn!

Thanks very much!

P.S. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I really know nothing about torches.

You wont be burning anything with a LED. You need a lot more output. As the poster below you stated a bulb from a car works well.
The best would be 55-75w HID bulbs at 5k. You can get those kits pre-made on the candle powered forums for a few hundred. Obviously the price will be directly related to size/output.

You might want to do a bit of research on the torch as do to its small size it eats through batteries in literally a few minutes where as the HIDs last a fair bit longer, though they are a bit bigger.

Okay, can you please suggest a good torch? Maybe on eBay Australia?

Thanks!

To Digital, I saw that the Torch uses the battery so quick, but I wasn't too fussed. May you please also recommend me a torch, preferablly on ebay Australia?

I don't know what's going to be on ebay or the quality. Pretty much anyone who puts a car lamp into a large flashlight with a nice reflector and a ton of batteries is gonna have a burner.

"Usually" people with lights are trying to achieve minimal heat and don't build them to burn stuff. That's why I mentioned the candle power forums as if you sign up and search you'll find some threads pertaining to burning lights and maybe locate some people who would be willing to ship to your country or even possibly live there.

100W halogen lamps are $2, dude. It's not hard to believe.
