ThruNite Archer 2A C LED Rechargeable Flashlight, High 1000 Lumens AA Flashlight with USB-C, Dual Switch Bright Flashlights for Camping Hiking Emergency, IPX8 Waterproof - Cool White

The rechargeable version is much better in my opinion than the plain battery version. It has a powerful beam and it can use AA batteries or a rechargeable battery. It is lightweight and easy to carry I pack it in my backpack whenever I travel. I also use it when I walk my dog at night.

Small and lightweight, this flashlight's beam is strong and bright. Very versatile, It is light enough to hold with just a finger or two for tasks in tight places and it is easy to put in a pocket to carry around in case of emergency. Recharges quickly and indicator lights are easy to read. I have dropped it a few times and it shows no damage. For its price, the best value in its class!

Bought these for my kids. Great size and we love that they are so bright and rechargeable. Very durable/tough.

Really solid light. Does get hot quick on the front end at the highest setting, but its still very bright. Having the lower light setting is very nice in places like a machine shop on small parts or tooling for getting a detailed view and not blinding yourself. There were other lights exactly like this that were far more expensive, used AI to find that this light was exactly the same. Like RTIC and YETI. I will be buying another battery, I've found that using this for more than an hour, that the brightest isn't as bright as it was originally, though I do charge this every chance I get. Like once my phone is done charging, I'll plug the lights battery in, but would like a spare for emergencies or for extended use like backpacking during the night. For how cheap this is being offered, I'd recommend this to anyone and would honestly sell it for closer to $60...

Yes or no: Yes, good value Pros: -durable anodized aluminum body -good lighting and beam pattern -battery life (both rechargeable and AA. I have not experienced the issues others discuss about poor battery life) -size -Simplicity -can clip onto baseball or other hard brim hat (slight con: depending on the length of the brim it may not be able to be clipped on straight due to length, and instead on the side of the brim so the endcap lays next to your temple instead of poking your forehead) Cons: -slippery under certain conditions in the pocket (it can fall out) but not in the hand, holding it even wet or with gloves is fine -metal clip moves (rotates in position) on flashlight and more likely to pop off after a certain amount of use -Gets hot quickly on turbo mode (but gloved hands or cool temps negate this. If you have never used a bright small handheld flashlight before, this is common across basically any bright light regardless of manufacturer or model) -Lanyard not the best quality but never broke completely on me. Easy enough to replace or make custom lanyard for the light, so don’t base your decision on the lanyard alone. Review —- Good EDC flashlight. Color and brightness are fine for reliable use up to 200ft in the main beam, which for me is infrequent. There’s a reason i have been using this model flashlight for over 5 years. Beware, the clip is prone to loosening or falling off after several months of literally every day use several times in and out of the pocket. The lanyard holds up fine but the sheath only on the thinner part that actually attaches to the light could break quickly (50/50 for me), leaving the robust fishing line type cable to keep itself on the light. One star off for that. With all that being said, it clips onto everything well especially when new. Only when it loosens do you have to pay attention. It seems to scratch and wear out the coating/anodizing which is just enough to reduce its reliability for attachment. The battery life is fine. On AA batteries this light has lasted me on medium or low settings: 70% usage and turbo 30% usage over a years time before replacement. I do not use high output settings for more than 5 minutes at a time usually, since i usually use medium or low settings for my purposes. I never get my light to where i cannot hold the torch end due to being too hot. On the proprietary rechargeable battery, i charged it once and have been using it as often as described and had yet to recharge but i just lost it, and that brings up a good point… This is now my 3rd replacement flashlight, because what happens is the clip pops off-i think- due to the pressure on it when i crouch or sit in certain chairs of cars or aircraft, or just squat to grab something near the ground, etc because the length of the light in the pocket creates a lever to pop it off with certain clothes and whatever-is-in-my-pocket choices. On rare occasion the clip gets hung onto said vehicles lap belts but in my own car, and on things like amusement park rides or whatever, it hasn’t been an issue. The relatively lightweight and thin body mean that if it pops the clip off, it may very well fall into my pocket, but it can VERY easily slip out of the pocket when just “thrown in” or otherwise not using the clip. When i noticed the clip pops off, i can hear a faint “ping” of the clip popping off into space, and I’ve been lucky to find it most times, but if not (because i was moving or there was noise or another distraction and i didn’t notice), thrunite has sent replacements. (Thats been my only experience with customer service) Brand new this isnt an issue, but from rotating in place and wearing away the anodizing, and through normal use, the clip itself either slips Because the clip is looser or pops off the flashlight entirely. Unfortunately putting more of a bend into the clip doesn’t seem to be a permanent solution, as i have had to do it a few times but now i don’t have the flashlight at all (again) so i can’t say what exactly is the failure mode. So in short, the clip is the downfall of this flashlight, but it’s served me well and for that i will overall recommend it. If not EDC its great to throw into a bag as a spare or get creative with mounting it to anything you can.
