Greetings all -
I will apologize in advance for this question. I have a weak understanding of flashlights in general and until I bought my first "good" flashlight (a Fenix), I was buying cheap ones for me and my family that would only last a little while.
Here is my question. I bought a cheap set of 'tactical' flashlights for my brother for Christmas. He was a cheap set (basically disposable) for his work as they tend to beat them up, lose them and get 'borrowed' and never returned. So, if I dropped $30 on a light, it would be a waste.
Anyway, in the past, I would buy LED lights and from what I read, the ones I were buying were the type that continually get less and less bright. This is what I want to avoid. I am not sure what this is called, but how to I check to see that the flashlights that I have bought aren't this type?
Again, apologies in advance for not knowing these. Please be gentle...
