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

This is a nice, bright (with selectable brightness levels plus strobe) that is rechargeable though a built-in USB-C port. Very small, east to carry, great for EDC.

This may be long, but if you are teetering on this buy, it may be worth your two minutes of time. There have been numerous mini-lights that I have purchased and sent back on Amazon and browsed at gear stores. They were not worth the money, overly complex, or did not fit the bill for something that I did not want to pamper and might get misplaced. The Mini Archer is well thought out and checked all the boxes. It is affordable, practical, and useful. It comes on in a comfortable low light automatically, double tap and you get a nice clean bright high, double tap twice quickly and you get a very fast and disorienting strobe. That is it. I do not need to carry around the user guide to remember how to use it. In this same mode, you can press the button quickly and just get a flash of low light if needed. It is great for checking a sidewalk lip or sending a rapid three for say a location signal. When you shut it off, you hold the button down briefly, and it will not come on by an unintended bump. It has to be held down briefly again to toggle on. It is small, thin, and light so as to not take much space and is not uncomfortable to have in a pocket. It can easily be clipped on the brim of a hat, shoulder strap, or belt loop to give hands free light to work or navigate by. It is rechargeable. Everything I purchase now is rechargeable. The charging port is concealed nicely by unscrewing the front end. This keeps dust and dirt out of the port as well as eliminating that little rubber plug cap that will be eventually torn and lost. At first, I thought (and was going to be disappointed) the whole front end would screw off like it would to replace the AA battery. It does not. It stops after it gives just the right clearance to be plugged in. It charges quickly. I did not charge it when I got my first one. It took quite the effort to actually run the battery down with the charge it came with. It was plugged in after my senior Economics class started and was fully charged in less than an hour by the time the bell rang. There is a nice (not annoying) pinhead of a red that shows it is charging, which turns blue when fully charged. This is simple and does not leave you guessing whether it is connected and charging properly. I left it in my coffee mug filled with water overnight. It functioned 100% the next morning and has so since. I wanted an EDC light that I could afford to have several of (pocket, truck cab, dog walking pack, hip-belt of hiking pack, holster, first aid kit, SAR chest rig, wife & daughter’s fanny pack, … you get it) along with all being uniform and simple in how to use. We all heard that 2 is 1 and 1 is none … and have been there. To me, this is the one. I was lucky enough to have a buddy (Forest Fire Manager) on a recent river trip introduce me to the Mini Archer and let me toy around with it. Let me go back to the usefulness of the low and high beam amount of light. That is the main function, right. The low light is soft and the perfect level to navigate around the neighborhood on a late dog walk or at camp without blinding and disturbing everyone around you and washing out your eyes’ night adjustment. The high beam is high, bright white, and clear for this little light and what you would want when you need to throw some light at something. My wife and I compared it to her major brand 400 lumen headlamp on a recent 9pm dog walk. The Mini Archer was much nicer to walk with and the hands down winner when we tested them on a pitch-black section of woods. The Mini Archer gave at least a 100 yard meaningful view through the Ponderosas that would allow you to identify an animal, object, or person. The beam is not too focused as to give a tunnel vision field of view, yet it is more focused than the headlamp to allow a longer field of view. It is very nicely balanced. This is only the second time that I have taken my time to write a review of a product. I appreciated it when someone did, and it helped me. In today’s environment, $20.00 is 5 (or 4) gallons of gas. The above qualities make the Archer Mini unobtrusive, worthwhile, and useful to carry. Two more are on their way and there will probably be several as stocking stuffers. I hope you find yours as good a value as I did.

This is a very good item, and the reviews are largely consistent with mine. My primary issue is with the brightest beam lasting longer without being reduced automatically. It absolutely delivers the goods with a vast, wide and bright light. But it doesn’t last more than a few minutes before a downshift. I did NOT notice a heat issue. Also, the clip to the baseball cap works well, even though it doesn’t look like a good grip. See photo. Lastly, it is TINY. Really a great item, but I am returning to get a different one that addresses my primary concern about the brightest setting lasting longer.

It works perfectly. When charging red LED, battery full blue LED. USB C port hidden inside a socket that unscrews. Airtight bushing by rubber gasket. I like that. 16mm in diameter in the widest part. Bright light in the most intense position. Retains the load. You combine with the Leatherman. ⚠️ the switch is out of the body, if you load something that pushes it can be turned on, otherwise very good. Nobody pays me for this opinion!

I am thrilled with this small flashlight. It is inexpensive, durable, well made. The pocket clip is excellent and the functionality is outstanding. Charging is easy and I anticipate that this will be a long-lasting part of my everyday carry.

I have a couple of these and I carry one with me each day. It is bright and easy to use. Normally I use it on its lower mode of light and that is enough. But it is nice to be able to use the bright mode occasionally when more light is needed. The strobe light mode is also nice to have as an option. I am glad it is rechargeable. Bigger and brighter flashlights have their place. But I like the size of this one as I can carry it in my pocket so that I always have a flashlight handy. It gets used much more often than my other flashlights because it is always with me. Being able to operate it with a button on the end is a big plus. It seems to be a quality item. And I am a big fan.

This is the first flash light I’ve carried on a daily basis well for the most part. My only gripe is the tail switch could be slightly harder to actuate because i end up accidentally turning it on all the time and not noticing until it’s probably been running for who knows how long, then I have no way to check the battery so I have to charge the light more often than I would like to be sure that it’s fully charged. It’s a nice focused beam of light so even though it’s not the brightest flash light it’s got a good range for its size. Over all the button being too light isn’t a huge deal and I appreciate this light. It’s built very well and I bought it specifically for the dual sided clip because being able to turn it into a head lamp with a baseball cap is peak utility at night time.

I like this little flashlight. It's durable. It easily fits in my pockets. It even fits in the little pocket that is usually at the top of the right pocket for men's jeans. It's brighter than my phone's light. The battery last a good amount of time. I like that it has a USB-C charger port. There have been a few times when I bend over it turns on. I think it might be because I have too much in my pockets. Luckily it is bright enough to make my jean's pocket glow, so I notice relatively soon that it is on.

I bought this Torch about 4 months back and it works properly, no drawbacks as such, may be the the battery doesn't last long as I would have liked because of the smaller size but no complaints there.

Es de muy buen tamaño y de fácil operación, lo malo del artículo y que no lo menciona el vendedor es que se calienta muy rápidamente durante su uso y tal como lo advierte el fabricante no debe usarse más de 20 minutos continuos sopena el riesgo de dañarse.

Very happy with the purchase.

When it was working I was really happy with the flashlight. But as of yesterday it gas stopped working, the light does not come on.
