ThruNite LED Flashlight Archer 2A V3, 500 Lumens Mini AA Flashlight with Lanyard, IPX8 Water-Resistant Dual Switch Outdoor Flash Light for Hiking, Camping, Everyday Use, EDC - CW

I've been using this compact aa flashlight and love it. It's super lightweight but feels solid thanks to the aluminum body and grippy texture. It gets really bright easily lights up the trail or backyard, and shines far enough for walks or comping. Perfect to keep in my bag just in case. The only small thing is the brightness dims a bit after while on high mode, but that's pretty normal for AA lights.

This small flashlight is surprisingly powerful for its size. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and the beam is bright enough to light up a dark room or outdoor space. The battery life is impressive, and it feels durable despite being compact. Perfect for keeping in a bag, car, or nightstand for quick use.

This is a great flashlight, haven't reviewed for battery life or night vision as I just received it. Small, lightweight, very bright and I like that you can switch between different brightness levels as needed. One thing that should be improved is the instruction booklet in the packet. No instruction at all on what batteries it takes or how to put in the flashlight. I have similar ones, so just guessed by size and configuration that it was 2 AA batteries and how to put them in. Thought it was broken as it would not turn on when I pressed the button on the bottom. Turns out I had to also press a tiny silver button located on the end where the bulb is located. Instructions do describe that this button switches the brightness and switches to "firefky mode" and to switch to Strobe Mode. However, you must press it to turn on the light initially as well. This was not described at all in the booklet or on the box. Just some feedback for purchasers who are less patient and won't experiment to figure out how to turn it on. Other than that I am happy with the flashlight. It is on the pricy side, so will review again if battery life or any other items are not to spec.

Buy this if you're looking for a flashlight of this size. I don't strongly suggest things, really, ever, but this is amazing for the price; it's outstanding. It gets stupidly bright, especially for AA batteries, and it's built extremely well.

I am often out at night hunting bugs. I am a macro photographer and night time is our prime hunting time. I have been through a ton of flashlights over the years. This one is top of the charts. The beam is very bright on the highest setting, I cannot use it for my purposes at that setting, I have it set in the middle of the options for light and it is still quite bright but perfect for my needs.The charge seems to last forever on this unit and they shipped it with a battery that you can plug a USB-C cable directly into bypassing the need for a separate charging unit. This is a great idea. More should head in this direction, imo.The overall build quality is outstanding. It is machine solid metal and all switches function smoothly and flawlessly. There is an adjustable clip included that allows for multiple configurations as well. The overall size and shape make for a very pleasing experience while out in the field using it.This is a superb, compact, powerful little light that makes taking it anywhere you want to go very easy.

I have had this flashlight for almost 2 years. It is very sturdy, feels solid and provides a lot of light for such a small package. I recently had a problem where the light would not go on despite the batteries testing good. I replaced the batteries anyway and sent an email to the manufacturer asking for help. I was amazed to promptly get a response with suggestions for correcting the problem and asking for my address and purchase invoice. Following the advice the flashlight worked perfectly again. I wrote the mfg. to so advise him of that and they responded thanking me and told me that if the problem returned to let them know and they would send me a label to return the light or replacement. The customer service from this company is exceptional I would strongly recommend purchasing this light. It is without a doubt the nicest small flashlight I have ever owned.

I purchased an earlier model of this flashlight years ago and misplaced it. Having memories that this was a great flashlight brand when I last used one a year or two ago, I ordered two of this newer model with the rechargeable battery. It’s small but mighty. The battery charges via USBC which is perfect for our family with phone and tablet chargers already setup around the house. The only issue is that once I had charged the battery I couldn’t get the light to turn on. I reviewed the included directions and still couldn’t figure it out. I then went and started searching online for videos of people using this model and quickly realized that the “on” button is hidden on the bottom end and the more obvious mode button I had been tapping was not going to turn the light on no matter how many times I tried. Once I pushed the button on the bottom end of the flashlight it turned on and gave off an impressive light display Great lights that I won’t be using very often. Hopefully me and my family can all remember how to turn them on if the power ever goes out at night!

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.
