No glossary?

LED Flashlights – General Info

Hi, has anyone thought of doing a glossary of terms? It would be helpful to newbys (me) and possibly regular members too.

I’ve been lurking for a while and understand most of the lingo but a few still escapes me.

If u come across a word that u dont know it can take a long time to search threads where it is explained, the search bar gives u every thread with that word in but then u read the whole thing and it wasn’t explained and then have to read another till you find it.

Like potted/ potting, if u weren’t here when everybody was talking about it, u won’t know what they are talking about if someone just says “I potted mine” randomly in a thread??

And noctigon, if ya missed the intro threads u won’t know what it is.

Here is a couple of mine,
AW - is that a brand of battery?
Imr- battery chemistry??

Anyway what do u all think??

Well there you go, there is one, thanks. :stuck_out_tongue:

Next question, is that on this site anywhere? Main menu? Sticky,d somewhere? I apologise if it is, I have been browsing around and haven’t come across it before.

Thanks, I’ll have a good read. :beer:

The wiki is linked in the related sites in the pane on the left. Are you browsing from a phone?
