About ThruNite EDC Flashlight Archer Mini
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
73% appreciated its adjustable beam focus, although 27% found it limited
I like the hands-free option of the flashlight and can clip it onto my hat when working, which proves its adjustability and convenience.
I have owned many LED flashlights, but this one does not have an adjustable beam from narrow spot to flood.
I have noticed that the rear button turns on easily in pockets or packs with minimal contact.
79% appreciated its long-lasting battery life, but 21% experienced quick drainage
I compared the flashlight's battery life to an iPhone after several months of use and found it to be inefficient.
The battery life is poor.
79% were satisfied with its brightness, while 21% found it dim
I was pleasantly surprised by the brightness of the flashlight. It is much brighter than my old one.
I pulled out the flashlight and selected the bright light, amazing the doctor.
I am dissatisfied with the battery life of my handheld flashlight, it is poor.
While working at a museum with incomplete lighting, the bright light became dull after the 5th hour.

77% praised for its rugged construction, but 23% experienced durability issues
I have washed the product many times and it still survived, proving its durability.
I like the sturdier pocket clip, USB-C charge port, beam tint (of the neutral light), and shorter overall length of the archer.
I have found that the flashlight is not durable and only lasts for a few minutes.
The rechargeable battery not being replaceable is a drawback for durability.

75% liked its comfortable grip and handling, though 25% found it awkward
The flashlight's ergonomics feel decent and it can handle falls and drops.
The flashlight is small and cannot be attached to a key chain.
76% liked the intuitive switch and interface, but 24% found it confusing
The tail switch on my Archer Mini is poorly designed and made of cheap plastic.
There are three lighting options, but one is useless. The second option is a strobe.
I returned the product because the button does not have momentary on capability.
The tail switch is too easily activated and constantly turns on in my pocket, even with the lock out feature turned on.

75% appreciated its water and shock resistance, but 25% experienced issues
I doubt the flashlight would survive getting wet, as it is not waterproof.
