ThruNiteLED 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 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.

Fits easily in my pocket and is comfortable to carry. Very durable and good design, with separate power button and brightness button. Not rechargeable, but it lasts pretty well with a good quality battery. Guys visible and decent brightness.

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.

This is the best flashlight I have ever used. It can light up our entire small backyard or the front part of a small forest with two AA NiMH batteries that have yet to be charged again in 10 months. My guess I have used it for around 3 hours, since I use it briefly for everyday tasks around the house. It's really well designed and made.

This works great, small size, powerful beam, easy operation to change beam setting. Used while camping

Read about this on Wirecutter so I thought I’d try it. It exceeded my expectations. Very bright. Slim. Easy to carry by the strap. Rechargeable. Highly recommend for anyone.

The Thrunite is a hi quality aluminum cased flashlight and has few peers in its class. There is lower cost choice to consider, however, the Energizer Hard Case Professional for $15. OK, it is only 300 lumens but that is very satisfactory for most uses. The Energizer has a huge advantage in the ergonomics of use. It fits in your hand much more naturally and has a rubber coating so is also much more slip resistant. Your thumb naturally rests on the switch so only one hand needed to operate where the Thrunite requires two hands for operation. The ergonomics and lower cost of the Energizer makes it a more practical flashlight and performance is only slightly less. The Energizer also has infinite light variability vs 4 modes. The beam spread is almost as good as the Thrunite and I think most people in the end would rather have two Enegizers VS one Thrunite. Both are very rugged and waterproof and run on 2 AA batteries. Neither flashlight is a mistake to own.
