Irony

[qwertyydude]

Does anyone else here find it ironic that this is candlepowerforums and it's a widely regarded belief here that candlepower is a pretty much useless measurement for flashlights? :candle:

 

[Empath]

It's not a useless measurement for portable lighting.

perhaps what the OP meant, was that its a less frequently used name,

although i have to agree, i also shudder to think of an alternative name..

lumenpower?

I like Candlepower better..
