The more I explore, learn, and invest into this hobby, the more I see/witness 2 bothersome things. Am I justified, or not, veterans? 1. When watching a flashlight video, I see the user dropping in the first battery + end down, and letting gravity slam the battery against the + end within the flashlight tube - you can hear it sometimes. And then following it w/ a 2nd and/or 3rd battery. I understand some lights have very little gap between the barrel and the cells, so escaping air slows down the cells; but not all do. I usually feed my batteries in slowly while the light is horizontal, unless the light has a spring on the + end. 2. And in many photos of lights on different websites, is it really necessary to show the lights disassembled while its threads, o-rings etc, lay on some kind of dirt/sand/gravel/pebbles? Sigh...
