Very small and light - yet extremely light with a large voltage range

ThruNite® Archer 1A / 2A / 1C Single CREE XP-G2 handheld LED Flashlight Black (Misc.)

Customer Review

The Archer 1A looks very elegant with stainless steel front ring and the short shape without excessive edges and corners. It is light and can even tuck unobtrusively in small pockets.

However, I think the extra cost for the identical, but designed for CR123A 1C for inadequately and too high. 1C, there are 19.95 and is therefore better for me because more powerful under "normal" batteries choice!

Installed is the known high-quality, high-performance Cree XP-G2 chip, which at the maximum up to 521 lumens! depending on the battery - can afford battery assembly and electronic control up to 521 lumens!

The material of the battery shell is extremely thick walls, since the LED head 1C is completely identical to that 1A. A mutual exchange would be possible. Then The Lumen specifications but no longer fit because with CR123A, RCR123A significantly higher brightness than the specified 178 lumen can be achieved!

The black belt clip is already attached or screwed. For fixing is an additional small screw. There is only one position of the positioning. On the other hand, the torch does not work.
For further supplied with a small charming stone holster with elastic, open at the top and with stabilder carrying eye. In addition, amenities still spare rubber rings and the operating instructions in English, unfortunately so.

Very practical is the generously dimensioned voltage range from 0.9 to 4.2 volts.

Unlike some other flashlights for Mignon AA 3.7 volt Lithium also use / ion batteries are in the Archer 1A thus the type 14500 can be used resulting in a substantial point of view, - leads as measurable increases in luminosity (brightness), on the other hand, may involve certain risks in the treatment and charge.

I personally use it in the present always be with lithium battery only for short-term operation and can not have any information on endurance levels compared to AA batteries. 14500 batteries have a much lower capacity than rechargeable AA batteries, but this does not generally mean a shortened term. Decisive electronic voting and control is involved in this parameter.

Prefer Not To Say I need the suitability for recommended and almost risk-free 1.2 Volt Ni / MH rechargeable AA batteries.
Especially with Eneloop should be possible herewith by electronic control of the flashlight constant and significantly longer maturities in the highest light level than with alkaline batteries.

The light levels are respectively by loosening and tightening of the reflector head in steps of 0.2 lumens (249 hours), 24 lumens (6 hours), 80 lumens (1.5 hours) and a maximum of 178 lumens with Alkaline (58 minutes) with selected the last set level is stored for the next use. Personally I use 14500 batteries with 4.2 volts charge voltage.

The headlight range is specified with a fabled for this format 184 meters.

Unfortunately, going from the instruction manual, no power, - and endurance values ​​when using 3.7 Volt batteries of type 14500 (Mignon format lithium-ion technology) out.
About the photo I need make no further information because it is absolutely clean without any unusual event with a larger spot with good close-range illumination.
The light color is more toward neutral white with no visible yellowing and corresponds to the usual color bright flashlights.

Conclusion:
At this price and features, there is an absolute buy recommendation without any restriction!
