Flashaholic\'s Dictionary?
Hi there,
My third post! And a simple question:
Is there an online dictionary of flashlight related terminology? I haven't been able to find one.
I guess this would hardly be necessary for you flashaholics, but newbies like myself would greatly benefit.
Here's a sample sentence from a recent posting by Size15s in ref. to "3 123 light other then surefire?", just to illustrate the problem, as I see it:
The KT2 for three SF123A models has the N2 Lamp. It is rated at 105Lu/60min. The MN16 225Lu/20min "High Output Lamp Assembly" (HOLA) will also work in the KT2 TurboHead.
Whooahh! (and there are even more extreme examples)
The kind of terms and definitions I'd like to see in such a dictionary would range from general, such as lumen, to vendor speficic, such as P or M for SF bulbs, and from the pretty obvious, such as LED, to the utterly incomprehensible, such as the example above. Acronyms should be included too.
A few examples of terms would be:
*Candle power/candela/lumens/lux definitions
*HA
*Halogen
*High dome
*Incandescent
*LED
*Low dome
*MN
*P
*TurboHead
*Xenon
..etc
Anyone?
