Hello everyone!
I've been reading stuff on CandlepowerForums for quite a while, but it seems I've only bothered to join now that I need help on something! I guess I'm not the only one who does that, but apologies anyway!
I'm working on an article about torches (I'm in the UK, so I can't help calling them that!) for a new web site geared towards general outdoor hobbies. The article will strictly focus on torches (i.e. not lanterns etc), but is still fairly wide in scope. I want it to be a very good quality reference article for anyone thinking about buying a new torch for their hobbies. Hand torches and head torches are the focus.
I'll certainly be linking to this forum in the article, but I want to help the reader not have to trawl through loads of threads just to get a good feeling for what is available (I've already done that for them, and this request is another effort!)
I'm appealing to anyone, particularly people into the great outdoors, to chime in with anything which they think should be in the article. I would guess a lot of people here have had experiences which have led them to use particular torches in particular scenarios in the outdoors.
I think I've pretty much covered all bases in the article so far. There are 3 extensive sections [Components of a torch; Quality of torchlight; Getting the most out of a torch] but I'm sure there will be lots of useful stuff to add to it based on first-hand experiences people here have had.
All input gratefully received,
Thanks!
