ThruNite Archer Pro V2 EDC Flashlight - 950 Lumens, USB-C Rechargeable, Tail Switch LED Penlight for Camping, Outdoor & Emergency - Cool White (Blue)

The media could not be loaded. I’ll start by saying I NEVER write reviews but this light deserves one. I’ve had it since April of last year and carried it in my pocket almost every day. It’s an awesome light. Awesome size, brightness, and functionality. The waterproofing works great. I have washed it in the sink multiple times when it got dusty. The other day I heard a noise in the dryer, went to look and realized I had left it in a pocket. The light survived being run through the clothes washer and most of a cycle in the hot dryer and works just like day 1.My only complaint is that the button is too easy to hit in your pocket. I have done this several times and run the battery down. I find that using the lock feature is not usually quick enough for my use. I ordered a thrunite tn12 to use instead for this reason but I’ll continue to use this around the house and garage. It’s an awesome light!

I’ve been using this light for around 1 1/2 years and it’s been great. The value you get is amazing. I work in a pretty harsh environment and this light hasn’t let me down yet. The build quality is great, it’s still bright, so bright in fact that multiple people ask me what brand and where I purchased the light, it still holds a charge and the usb c charging port is very convenient. I know when I go to upgrade I’ll be looking at Thrunite lights again.Update: I made a warranty claim on this light because of a failing button. The claim was sent 21 days ago and no response still. Just a heads up do not purchase this and expect it to be backed by the claimed warranty. With that being said I did purchase another light from this company because I do believe them to be a good value.

I like to carry a flashlight all the time but typical tactical lights are a bit too large to fit in with my every day office environment. This light is nice and compact, without being too small for the hand. Battery life entirely depends on how bright you have it but I would say the life is reasonable proportionate to the brightness. I have the Archer Mini as well and this performs in a similar way but is a lot brighter.Pros:USBC rechargeable in a few hours from dead.Tons of brightness settings to select from with last setting recall.Very bright for a light this size and lights up a nice area.Cons:The tail switch on the Archer lights is sensitive enough that you always have to carry it locked out.The tail switch operation is not immediately intuitive and requires some time to learn how to use.The body is a little slick for my preference.Overall, this is a good light at a good price if you need something small to carry each day that will light up a dark space well. It got 4 stars instead of 5 because of how complicated the tail switch operation can be until you learn it.

This light is considerably better than others I have gotten over the years. I got, most recently, a Thrunite Archer mini. It was OK, not as bright as this one, and no dimming. But it was also small. Too small. I lost it...This has a good adjustment for the brightness. Another reviewer said that was hard to deal with, but I find it quite intuitive. It's larger than the Archer mini, but still easy to carry around just in case.

UPDATED 8/4/24 Light is USELESS! It either won't turn on, or won't turn off.I've been looking at recent reviews for this light and see much of the same kind of issues being reported. Here are others with my problem: IF, repeat IF, it turns on, it won't turn off As the title says, this is the worst best flashlight ever. I'll explain. Everything about this flashlight is awesome. I love the size, the weight, the operation and the performance. Another dealbreaker feature for an edc flashlight for me is it must have a two way pocket clip, which this does. I want to love this flashlight so much, but I hate it because it doesn't work. I bought one and it was broken right out of the box. After charging to a full battery, it would not turn on. I'd plug it in and then it would turn on while still plugged in. Then I'd unplug it, it would turn on but not turn off. Then I'd mess with it and get it to turn off but guess what, it wouldn't turn back on. problems with the light coming on and staying on in my pocket like this oneI really wanted to like this light. The small size & light weight means it fits comfortably in my pocked so I can carry it everywhere I go to have a quick easy way to see in a dark area or inside something I'm trying to fix without risking my $1000+ cellphone being damaged while I use the much less effective flash in it. This is actually the second of these I've tried using. The first one worked a few months of 5-15 minute dog walking a few times a night before it stopped working at all. I contacted the seller & quickly got a replacement.Unfortunately this one started having similar problems within weeks. It often will either refuse to turn on until I make multiple attempts or else it refuses to turn off. Sometimes charging it back up fixes this for a while. Worse, I no longer need it for nightly dog walks yet I found out that unless I charge it up every few days it starts acting up yet again. I like the USB-C charging and the basic idea but want it to work every time I try using it. So now I'm looking for a similar light from a more reliable brand!

I bought this light to use while walking my pups at night. I love the return to memory function. While walking I don't need a very bright light, but when checking for coyotes the quick double click to it is nice. The double click to turbo is great for making sure the cars know we are there. The light does not reach the 187 meters it advertises, I have tried it on a known 500 foot distance my last light easily hit, but that was it's only great function. I have not had to use the strobe yet, but three clicks to the strobe light is nice. My last light was 7 clicks.I have only used it for13 days, I will alter this review if necessary later.I finally had to recharge it on the 12th day of use, which I think is pretty good.
