Newbie Articles Out There?

[austinguy23]

Someone direct me to a good article/thread to bring me up to speed on LED flashlights, por favor.

By the way, I read that manufacturers sometimes fib (or even underrate) the lumen output on their products, so how can we as consumers reliably compare products without testing them personally?

A big question you ask, my advice just read as much as you can.

Look at the reviews,plenty of the guys are buying the new lites such as the little ITP,s Maratacs etc.

Go to the General Flashlight Discussion page and look at the "sticky" topic entitled "General Flashlight Forum - Threads of Interest". After you've looked thru these topics the "sticky" topics on the LED page and the stuff in the "Reviews" section will be much more understandable. There's all kinds of great detail available after you understand a few basics. Welcome.
