FlashlightGuide.com was created to be a comprehensive source of information about selected flashlights from the past and present. Originally intended to catalog older discontinued products, the site has evolved and now includes news, reviews, and other information about the latest offerings available. Created by flashlight enthusiasts (flashaholics) for other enthusiasts, content is developed based upon real world experience with the various flashlights, rather than "table top" reviews and articles that are so common. Some of the most valuable content is the photographs accompanying each article and review which allow readers to see not only how an item looks but also how it performs. Reviews include outdoor photographs of the flashlights in use and provide comparisons between a variety of different lights to help the reader determine which best suits their needs.
