Just wondering what threads on BLF new people 'should' read?
All stickies?
Most people who have been on the forum for years don't remember how they learned the things they know. But everybody would agree that they learned something they could have known ealier, only if they would have read the information. How to educate new people to learn the most important basics in the shortest time as possible?
Here is a list of recommended flashlight threads for Newbies:
This is not a suggestion but questions, about some things that I find pertinent to get information on when getting into this hobby!
Threads or information about:
- how to measure current draw (multimeter, clampmeter, …)
- how to measure parasitic drain (multimeter, clampmeter, …)
- how to measure lumens
- how to measure candela
differences between/properties of the main materials of flashlights: aluminium, brass, copper, titanium, stainless stell
I’ve been around for almost 4 years, and I am still new to many things, so some of the questions of newcomers may still be questions of “oldies”
Thanks for the innitiave
An up-to-date flashlight recommendation guide for several price ranges; that is easy to understand and navigate with ranges such as $0-15, $15-30, $30-50 and so on… I have seen way too many people buying the astrolux A6 and S4x series as their first lights because that’s what bangood always tries to push but IMO those are not the best pick for the money.
A thread like Narmattaru’s guide but with flashlights recommendations, with short description of each product, its pros and cons. The amount of entries for each price range are limited so it would be constantly updated with the newest and most worthy stuff, and the recommendations would be community submitted and open to discussion.
