ThruNite Archer 2A V3 LED Flashlight, High Lumens AA Flashlight, IPX8 Waterproof Dual Switch Bright Flashlight for Hiking Emergency Power Outage - Cool White

Love the size on this one. Small enough to clip to a shirt pocket, toss in the glovebox, or carry around without noticing the weight, but it doesn't feel like a toy. The adjustable brightness is the real win here. The low setting is genuinely useful as a reading light, soft enough not to blast your eyes out in a dark room, and the high setting throws serious output when you actually need it. Runtime on the higher settings holds up well too, it doesn't dim down after a few minutes like some lights do. One thing I appreciate: no strobe function getting in the way. I know some people want that for tactical use, but for a light like this it's just an extra button press away from the mode you actually want. Glad they left it out, or at least didn't force it into the mode cycle. Overall this has become my go-to for small jobs around the house, glovebox emergencies, or just carrying in a pocket. Doesn't try to be more than it is, and does what it does well.

Killer small flashlight. Easy to carry and switch modes. I would by again. The included strap is functional. Nice large, easy to navigate push button (s). Flashlight case and lens are solid and durable. Good deal for a small flashlight. I don't understand why flashlight manufacturers include a strobe mode which they call emergency or help mode. Just seems goofy.

I rarely write glowing reviews, and I complain about just about everything when a product deserves it. This flashlight, however, has been outstanding. In fact, I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend because I knew he'd appreciate it. I haven't put it through extreme "survivalist" torture tests, but for everyday use around the house it's just about perfect. It's bright without being gimmicky, feels solid in the hand, charges easily with USB-C, and the controls are intuitive. It's become the flashlight I automatically reach for whenever I need one. After months of use, I honestly can't think of a single complaint—and coming from me, that's probably the strongest endorsement I can give.

I had some trouble with this flashlight, first it would not stay on when the on button pad was pressed. Then a battery got stuck inside and could not be dislodged. I had not used it extensively or stored it in any kind of extreme conditions. I did like the size, weight, and strong light of the product (a NYT Wirecutter pick) and hoped to keep it, so I wrote to the company email ([email protected]) to see if I could get a discounted new one. A response came immediately saying that a replacement would be sent. A brand new flashlight arrived in two days! The communication was helpful and swift, and the new light is great. 5 stars for prompt and helpful service! They did say that batteries should be removed if not using over an extended time. The paper insert with instructions did not mention that (maybe include this tip?) but did say that Thrunite will replace a light within two years of purchase - that's a really good warranty I think. Good product all around.

I purchased this light because it is powered by double A batteries. Most emergency management camps supply these batteries for radios and flash light battery packs. If you run a survival bag and bug out, double a cells are your best option because most gas stations, and physical merchants carry these cells. I do backpack and carry the panasonic cc 87 double a battery bank and charger with eneloop rechargeable cells as a back up for this light. The light has good throw and is light weight for the performance. I've seen a few complaints of battery cells rattling in the light. Mine does not rattle. This is with eneloop rechargable batteries. The lanyard is a nice feature. I run the lanyard and it doesn't seem to get in the way. The clip will work on a ball cap if you reverse it and run it torward the power button. Good thin ergonomics with this light, I can hold it over my left thumb and draw a pistol. I have no first glance complaints at all. I won't use the clip except for my ball cap. Some reviewers complain about the placement. The light power is all anyone would ever need. For the size, function, and value it's hard to beat. If you're a backpacker, it's important to know this light is difficult for accidental powering on. The rear power button is also momentary for signaling, but I don't think it can power on by itself in a bag. I recommend leaving the light in firefly mode in case this ever happened.

This is a bright, solidly built flashlight. Small (the diameter is barely larger than the batteries) enough to go anywhere, but brighter than you would expect. Not the brightest ever, but maybe brightest for its size. I especially liked that the on/off switch is separate from the function buttons. Edit: I have a Nitecore flashlight that's brighter, but since this review I find myself grabbing this one again and again because of its small size and bright light.

I had several flashlights that simply don't work. I needed a good, reliable flashlight once I got my new puppy for night potty trips. This flashlight is great. It never acts up and does the job. I like the very low light option. I only wish it had a red light option as well. The rapidly flashing light option could be handy if you were in danger, but having to click through that option to get to the one you want is cringe worthy. Still a great flashlight!

Great light. What makes it great? Only ONE button press to turn it on and off. No cycling through multipl presses to turn on/off like ALL THE OTHER flashlight. Please make a worklight version of this with NOT worklight strip and single bulb at end. DO NOT make the on/oof button MULTI cycle through modes! Thanks! Why FOUR stars, because the clip is weak and fails after a month or two and replacements cost $10 for a TEN CENT part. Include about four free ones in the package!

Works well, feels robust and strong. The casing feels like it will last well and the battery charging process is simple. I’d definitely recommend this product. But I also wish I’d paid a little extra for the 1000 lumens option (I got 500 lumens). Bear that in mind when purchasing

Feels great in the hand, three light intensity modes, ability to rotate the clip (e.g., to clip to your baseball hat). Love the looks and the performance (so far, at least!)

It is part of our survival bags (car and home), we choose for this one as it is small, solid and can be adjusted in terms of how much light you want. It has additional features which are nice also for camping trips - proper distance - kids proof (my kids dropped it a few times and still working like a charm) - different lumen pending on what you need - waterproof (again kids who dropped it by accident)

Llegó en muy buen estado y antes de lo que pensaba. Fue un regalo para mi novio y le gustó mucho.

This replaces one that we foolishly lost!
