ThruNite EDC Flashlight Archer Mini, 405 Lumens Tail Switch LED Flashlight, USB C Rechargeable Little Pocket Penlight for Camping, Outdoor, and Emergency - Cool White

A lot of "EDC" flashlights are really too big to comfortably carry with a pocket clip and are better suited to a holster, and a couple super-mini, single AAA lights I've tried are disappointingly dim and it seems like they always need a new battery.Been really happy with this one. It's both slim and short and disappears in the corner of your pocket. Very easy lock-out function to prevent battery drain from accidental button presses. The initial "low" brightness is good for finding keys or other tasks in the dark, or as a work light clipped to a hat brim. The stuff you'd otherwise be fumbling with your phone to unlock and turn the "flashlight" feature on. Plenty, without blowing out your night vision. Double tap for high and it's surprisingly bright given the size if you need more "flashlight" and less "penlight". The initial brightness on high does fade/thermal throttle after a few minutes, but it levels off at a claimed 150 lumen, which feels about right and still very usable for tasks that require more light. The double-sided clip is a nice touch- so it can work as a pocket clip, or clipped to a hat brim for hands free use (how many lights forget that one little thing is crazy). No convoluted button-tap patterns or sequences to remember.It only charges at about 2w, but it is USB-C (no stupid proprietary charge cables) and there's no fiddly rubber covers or crappy threads to take apart to remove batteries to charge. Just unscrew the buttery smooth focus ring all the way- it has a stop, won't accidentally come all the way off- to reveal the charge port. Very easy.For $20 really impressed, my new EDC light. Spent considerably more on lights I don't like as much and just aren't as well designed.

As you can see from my photo, this flashlight has been a part of my everyday carry for almost 3 years and I absolutely love it. It’s taken a beating and held up incredibly well. The brightness is just as powerful as the day I got it, and it still holds a charge like new. I recently lost the clip, and the company quickly sent me a replacement, no hassle at all. Great product, excellent customer service, and truly a reliable, compact EDC light. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable and bright everyday carry flashlight!

This is a great little pocket flashlight. As a truck driver I need something small to keep in my pocket which this fits the bill perfectly. It is more than bright enough and the throw and spill is perfect for quick checks on my equipment when doing pre and post trip inspection on truck and trailer and cargo. I love the lockout function, since I get in and out if the truck many times and sitting for hours, I don't have to worry about the light inadvertently turning itself on. Highly recommend this light to anyone that needs a small yet durable light to carry with them.

The size of this flashlight makes it a viable option to carry wherever you go. It has 3 different settings of low beam, high beam, and strobe mode which are operated by 1-click, 2-clicks, and 3-clicks. The ergonomics feel decent too, not too cheap and could handle some falls and drops.This is a product from China so the manual was very unclear in regards to the battery life so I had to test it real quick. I made sure to charge it to max before trying this out.The amount of time you can get from the low beam mode without turning it off is over 8+ hours!Note: The light will become very faint and not shine as bright compared to when the battery is closer to full. I turned it off, switched to high beam, and that is when the battery gave up on me.The amount of time you can get from the high beam mode without turning it off is 1h40m~.Note: Towards the 1hour15m mark, the light would flash slowly to signal a low battery.All in all not bad. Serves as a great little emergency flashhlight to a more reliable flashlight. I'm personally gonna be leaving this in my edc pouch when I'm out for a drive. Very useful and it's good to be prepared.Edit: 4 weeks later. Flashlight is still solid and is my edc essential during the night. Do not underestimate this little guy. Really packs a decent light for its size!

I absolutely LOVE this flashlight. Full disclosure, this isn’t my first archer mini- I purchased one two years ago, and it became my EDC. I lost it around Christmas, and after a week I got mad at myself and ordered this replacement.Quality wise, these little things are top notch. Despite their small size, their brightness matches larger pen lights from more popular brands (looking at you, Streamlight micro usb). Durability is awesome as well, my old light made it 2 years of rough shop abuse and still worked perfectly. This replacement is almost the same, minus one change- the older one seemed to have a 4,300k color temperature, this one is more 5.500knor so- pure white with no yellow. It’s light weight, and I don’t even notice it in my pocket. Battery life is great, and if you mainly use low like me you’ll be able to get several days of regular use out of it. Makes a great stocking stuffer, or just a good present for that flashlight lover!I do wrap the middle section in heat shrink so I can hold it with my mouth, it’s easier on the teeth and gives a bright area to help find the light if it fails
