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.

It looks great, very well made. I’ve only had it 2 days so it is hard to tell how it will be in the long run

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.

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

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!

Great to begin with then just stopped working!
