A Beginner’s Guide to Flashaholism
What I was missing in the beginning was some basic stuff like:
- What are the parts in a flashlight? (such as head, pill, driver, led, star etc.)
- How does a flashlight work? (Seems simple now, but I couldn’t figure out the basic electrical functioning a few months ago)
- What do basic terms like flood, throw, hotspot, spill etc mean?
Did expect that this information would be on the flashlight wiki.
I do agree with Old Lumens that the beginners guide is not new to this forum and there is no one magical solution. What I do have seen is that people start with a rather generic question, then you can supply them a link to the information. Next they either will have found their answer or are able to place a more direct question wich is more specified to there problem.
