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

When I "need" to use a flashlight, I want to press a well-defined ON button, and have maximum illumination. I really dislike the "multi-press-to-get-you-what-you-want" flashlights. Yes, I know many of those will revert to your last-used light setting if you hold the power button down. But I am old, and want it ON with one push. This high-quality lamp does that. You press the end-cap button, and it is ON. THEN, if you want to adjust the intensity, a SECOND button - intelligently placed that is naturally under my thumb - allows one to cycle through its four settings. This might be the perfect 2xAA flashlight on the market. The belt clip is weirdly placed: It is in the middle of the lamp, so, if used, half of the lamp is "exposed." But I've never desired to use it. You will not be disappointed with this device.

This flashlight is lightweight, narrow and is perfect for finding your way on a dark night. On the other hand, it's not much of a weighted weapon. Decide what's most important to you.

Great flashlight. Bright. Works. Way better than the overpriced Mag Lite. Bought one for my son and one for me.

I bought this flashlight back in 2021 (neutral white) and it has been amazing and incredibly useful. So much so that when I needed another flashlight to keep in the car, I immediately bought this one again (same neutral white) without a 2nd thought. However, something has obviously changed in those 4 years with the electronics of this model.With the present version of this flashlight being sold (and as noted in many of the reviews), the high beam can flicker which is incredibly uncomfortable on the eyes. It would seem the only fix is to keep swapping in batteries until you find a set that's fresh enough, at which point the high beam is perfectly stable.With my '2021 model', this flicker has never occurred, no matter how lousy the batteries are that I put in.That said, I don't use the high beam very often as med handles most everything so I'll keep this new one for that reason alone. Apart from that issue, it's STILL a very good flashlight. Just no longer an excellent one so can't give it 5 stars.Side note, also curious as to why the high beam for 'cool white' is rated 500 lumens while the 'neutral white' is 450.

I love this flashlight. It was smaller than I was expecting, but it is strong! The brightest setting is like a spotlight and can reach really far with amazing clarity. I found this in some sort of flashlight review a few years ago as a best overall choice, and they weren't wrong. I even have taken it out on multiple occasions to show it off! If you need a compact, versatile flashlight, this is the one!

Have numerous name brand lights; Fenix, SureFire, etc and though they may be better in function and style this little light is great. Got 5 for bug out bag, cars, family. Will get more!

This flashlight is pretty simple. There are only 5 total modes (4 solid modes in increasing brightness, and 1 strobe mode from doing a long hold). The rear button turns the whole flashlight on/off. If you really need to, you can use 2 AA batteries, instead of the included rechargeable battery, in the flashlight - but then the flashlight won't be as bright (compared with the included battery). So, I would find this flashlight to be generally designed to be friendly and easier to manage in times of a longer-term emergency. I really appreciate the included lanyard.Side note: I find charging this flashlight included internal and removable battery to be funny. You plug in a USB Type-C charger into the slide of the cylindrical battery to charge it, which is almost as comical as charging the Apple Magic Mouse from its underside or charging the original Apple Pencil's Lightning plug from the "eraser" end; but I'm more willing to forgive this battery's design choices, as this is a flashlight whose battery is likely not going to be charged very often and not a personal computing device.Although not trying to make a fashion statement of being a rugged outdoor flashlight, I basically feel that this is the 2024 version of what an urban version of the flashlight from Alan Wake II should be like, if it were designed to be sleek and more modern.My only complaint is that the side clip is a bit awkward, and I ended taking it off. (But be careful when you do that, as it might fly off at least 10 feet away from you, as it's under a lot of spring tension.) The clip should be moved towards the back with the rear on/off button, in order for the belt clip to make more sense.

I’ve had this for 2.5 years. I like to on/ off switch and the easy light levels. However the batteries it came with corroded and leaked. I’d recommend swapping out the batteries
