Flashlight database

[knnthsmthii]

Does anyone if there is a flashlight database where you can look up and compare several different flashlights by specs or features?

CPF has this thing called flashlight reviews.

You might check there.

Member Selfbuilt's reviews generally compare models similar to the light he's reviewing. Your other best bet would be opening several windows at once with specs of the lights in question on screen. Welcome a year late, btw...

Great question.
I think it would be very difficult to compile said database accurately. Even just choosing one Make and Model could at times be difficult. Manufactures listed specs sometimes aren't even accurate as to what they are currently selling. Not to mention there are sometimes 3 or more versions of the same model, and they can have changes midway through production. Constant led and driver updates and so forth. Just having a variation in LED tint bins can make a light totally different in output appearance.

If you want to compare a few lights, I suggest posting those models and seeing what members have to say.
Good luck.

Thank you all for the replies and advice. @scout24 that's what generally do (opening several windows :crazy:). I guess I'll load them into a spreadsheet or something :rolleyes:

It's a great idea. Execution is difficult, however, in part due to the rapid pace of innovation.

Here are a few places where reviews are indexed:

This last one is more like the database you envision:

I have a light I want selfbuilt to review. A database with all custom lights would be nice.
