ThruNite Archer 2A V3 500 Lumens EDC Flashlight, Cool White AA Battery LED Flashlight - CW

I also have the bigger version with the cushion on/off switch and it started to fail, so I decided to try this one. It has a solid on/off button. Things to consider: There is only one level of brightness, it uses 1 AA battery (not sure how often I'll be changing batteries) , and it has no hanging strap. But I think it will fulfill what I need on my night walk without being too big/heavy.

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.

Held up to a year of use, never got really wet but was taken on rainy days and nights in a back pocket. Max setting is properly bright and settings 3 and 4, I bought another one. It comes with replacement rings for the LED and the button mechanism and a replacement button, I have had no need of them yet, and lanyard is thick and able to be tightened well. Lanyard has been attached since day one.

Great bundle version of the V3 with a 3.7v lithium cell enabling 2x brighter peak output when fully charged. AA can also be used as a fallback, with reduced peak brightness. It’s hard to justify the V3 for so little difference in price unless you don’t care about having > 500 peak lumens at your disposal. I’m a big fan of small single cell OLight and Lumintop flashlights for half the price / tiny size / plenty of output, but for a dual cell size / high output option this is probably my favourite thus far. Having on-off and brightness switches at opposite ends isn’t my favorite setup, both otherwise I have nothing to complain about.

Great little flash lite , convenient size.
