Good to know what you want to see in flashlight reviews. I will use this thread as a reference for my future reviews.
Maybe I should use less fotos in my reviews…

As it turns out, everyone likes something different.
Some like as many photos as possible, for instance.
48 photos/gifs/videos in my latest review. Slightly more than the suggestions above!
Not including videos and full size image links it weighs in at 23MB. If you’re on a slow or metered connection then it may be an issue but my thinking is that with a written review you can always scroll past any bits you’re not interested in.
Thank you RC for opening this interesting thread and thanks to everyone for all the helpful comments. I have just subscribed this thread to improve my future reviews, too. :-D
Some thoughts...
IMHO, most important in a review is not the amount of pictures but a good, balanced and differentiated observation of the pros and cons. What good is a review if there‘s nothing but superficial advertising which always repeats itself no matter what flashlight is being reviewed? I really like the video reviews of Flashoholics from UK for he always points out what could be improved as well as his great taste for background music. :-)
Let’s not forget run time graphs.
These don’t need to be fancy.
I used to do them using a iPhone video and a Lux meter.
I would just pick time/Lux off the video and chart them.
Kind of a royal pain in the butt. Getting logging software was like a breath of fresh air.
All the Best,
Jeff
