ThruNite Archer

Compact LED Flashlight that uses AA batteries that are available everywhere! The dual switches allow easy to understand control of different light options. I was very pleased at the brightness this tiny flashlight offers. Great for walking the dog or camping.

Nice and bright and a very handy size. It will be kept in my car for emergencies. Comes with two replacement O-rings for the battery cap, a lanyard and one other piece that is a mystery to me.

This is the third of these flashlights that I've bought. The other two are still fine and working well after a few years of home use. I wanted another one for my wife's night table (I have one on my side) and wanted all the flashlights to have the same operating controls, so you'd know how to use it, whichever one you grabbed. The end cap has the on/off switch, and you can even just give it a soft press to turn the light on. The brightness button has a few settings. I keep the ones in the bedroom at the dimmest setting which is good if you need a light in the middle of the night. It won't blow out your eyes with super brightness. However, there is a mode for that! Super bright will suck down battery power, but it's very bright. the two mid brightness settings are also very handy. The compact size makes it easy to use, and I guess it's waterproof because there are O-rings on the pieces that open/unscrew. I started using rechargeable AA batteries in them and have no problems.

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.

Feels like quality in the hand ... 4 brightness levels. Moonlight .low .mid. High and Strobe Lights up my yard with no problem at all...love the fact that it takes 2 AA batteries for a quick easy change... And also has a memory mode... Whatever brightness you had on last that's the one that would go on when you power it on.... And to use the strobe mode just power it on and hold the button down by the lens👍.. Happy Customer....

The ThruNite Archer 2A V3 LED Flashlight is exactly what I was hoping for.. It came on time and was packaged in a nice box. It includes an extra set of O-rings and a lanyard too. All the functions work perfectly. My favorite function is the on/off button at the back of the unit.. Once you've selected a brightness level, simply turn it off from the back and the next time you turn it on it will light up at the last setting, This is a huge upgrade from most other flashlights that make you toggle through multiple functions to get to the setting you want every time. It's slim, easy to use and has a pocket clip. Also the case is made of aerospace-grade anodized aluminum (AL T6060-T6 material). It has a solid, high quality look and feel. I 100% recommend this flashlight!

This is my second purchase of this powerful little flashlight. The first was purchased for walking our little dog in the pre dawn dark here on the farm. I purchased the second for my husband's truck glovebox. It's an amazing amount of light in a small package that fits in your pocket!

I bought this flashlight on the recommendation of a few “best of” list that went through. It was the number 1 on many lists and the price was very affordable. I have been a devoted fan of the Nitecore brand for many years. Love their stuff albeit a higher price (~$60) compared to ThruNite. The reason for only 4 stars is this flashlight will randomly stop working on many occasions. I’ve owned it for about 2 months and I can say in that time it has happened about 8-10 times. That’s a lot and dependability is not a small issue. I don’t like shaking, tapping, clicking, disassembling a flashlight when I reach for it to use since that’s why I’m reaching for it..I need it to work now. All that being said for the price paid it’s not a bad one. I will probably go back to Nitecore since it never happened with theirs in 10 years time.

Reliable and impressive device. Very good as a nursing tool.

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!

I've owned this light for over a year now, and it has served me well through camping (in the rain) and power outages, and just the odd need for extra light. The 5 modes are nice: firefly for a little light and insane battery life, low and medium for in between, high for when you need the most light and aren't as concerned with battery life, and strobe for, well, whatever you want I guess, and it handily remembers the last mode you had selected when you turn it off and on again (except strobe; it will remember the last mode you had selected when you activated strobe). I've yet to replace the original AA batteries I installed in it. The water resistance is an excellent touch. And the included lanyard and replacement button and o-rings are appreciated. The only feature I wish it had that it doesn't is a low-battery indicator. The only concern I have with its operation is that on high, it doesn't reduce its brightness after the amount of time specified in the manual, but ThruNite customer care assure me that this is normal and a temperature sensor will lower the output if necessary, so not worth deducting a star for. If you want a versatile, water resistant, portable metal flashlight that runs on AA batteries and has good illumination and battery life, you could definitely do worse than this little guy!
