Flashlights 101 - needing general information

sincity · Nov 13, 2011

Hello,

does CPF have a post, article, blog, or resource where a person who is just getting into lights can
do a sort of "one stop shop" to learn about the various technologies, hardware, trends and so forth?

If not on CPF, perhaps somone knows of another online resource?

thank you

A great place to start is here:

This is our Carrot from CPF and his guide is excellent!

You also might simply read a lot of the threads, even if they're not what your looking for. If its a factory light your interested in then check the review section or use the search function. Also look at the end of the threads and there are similar threads listed to select from. Welcome aboard

THere is also a GREAT thread around on troubleshooting with a DMM (digital multi meter) - I'm traveling on my work computer, so I don't have the link.

If you're confused by the ANSI FL1 Standard specifications and are wondering what lumens, candela, or brightness means, take a look here:
