I am new, have spent some hours, but not found a “Beginners guide/tutorial/FAQ flashlights”, text and/or video to understand all the diff. tech. stuff like lumen, CRI, SST, thrower, emitter, battery sizes and mAh etc.
I have been on several manufacturers websites. I have not found any FAQ.

There is https://flashlightwiki.com/
It’s not very active or very up to date but the basics should be covered there…

Understanding the ANSI FL1 Standard
Interesting that article says CPF is the most active forum. I was thinking recently that BLF seems busier now.

I said the wiki was outdated.
What is the difference between thrower and flooder? What is a Cree T6 LED? What is the focus of a flashlight with focus? How do flashlights manufacturers cheat flashlight users?
In this text, I will tell you in simple language about the basic terms that will help you to choose flashlight exactly for your needs.
Hope you agreee, that you will not choose a car without understanding the difference between a automatic and mechanic transmission?
*I`ve been planning to write this guidance for those…
