Review: Best for function and price mini/ EDC light I have found :) - 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 desertcart 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.
Review: One of my favorite purchases. Highly recommended. - I have now purchased three of these I like them so much. It is an incredibly bright flashlight for its size. It has multiple brightness settings for different purposes, and I love the fact that it uses a USB-C charger and charges quickly. It comes with a clip with multiple attachment styles depend depending on your purpose. This would make an excellent EDC flashlight, so small I promise you that you will forget it. It’s in your pocket but incredibly useful when you need light quickly. I cannot recommend this product enough.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is Archer Mini rated 405 lumens when similar lights claim 1,000 or more?**
A: 405 is the ANSI FL1 verified figure - measured output, not a peak number held for a few seconds. The TIR lens turns it into a smooth 285ft beam with no darkrings. Compare verified throw and runtime, not headline lumens.

**Q: How do I charge it? Does it need a proprietary dock or a magnetic puck?**
A: Neither. A hidden USB-C port takes any USB-C cable you already own - no dock,no magnetic puck, no vendor lock-in. A full charge delivers 7.5 hours of runtime. Charging takes about 1.5–2 hours from empty.

**Q: Is it genuinely waterproof, and will it survive being dropped?**
A: Yes to both. The aluminum alloy body is rated IPX8 and drop tested to 1.5m.Lockout mode stops the tail switch waking up inside a bag, so it will not drain itself between uses.

**Q: How small is it really, and how does the clip carry?**
A: 3.27 inches and 1.2oz - shorter than most pens. The dual-direction clip grips a shirt pocket, hat brim or pack strap, so it works hands-free for inspection, repair and night rounds. Built for EDC, outdoor and tactical carry.

**Q: Should I buy the single or the 2-pack?**
A: Take the 2-pack if you want one at the bench and one in the vehicle, or one to pass to a family member. Identical light in both - same 405 ANSI FL1 lumens, same IPX8 body. The single is right if you only need one carry light.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s a mighty fine flashlight
*by J***P on November 30, 2025*

I bought the ThruNite Archer Mini on a whim, mostly because I needed something small, bright, and capable of making me feel prepared for situations that will absolutely never happen. And let me tell you… this little flashlight DELIVERS. First Impression: This thing is approximately the size of a fun-size Snickers bar, except it won’t melt in your pocket or cause guilt. Fits perfectly in your hand, on your hat, in your pocket, or probably inside a chip bag if that’s where you tend to misplace things (no judgment). Brightness: For something this tiny, it lights up my entire backyard like I’m hosting a police helicopter search. I fully expect my neighbors to ask if I’m starting a side job as a lighthouse. Build Quality: Feels sturdy—like it could survive being dropped, stepped on, or sent through the wash cycle (don’t ask). It’s basically the cockroach of flashlights, but in a good way. Charging: USB-C. Thank you. If I have to keep one more random cable around for a single device, I’m going to lose it. Charges fast, lasts a long time, and doesn’t complain—something I wish I could say about myself. Clip: The two-way clip lets you slap it onto a hat brim and instantly become the world’s least intimidating miner. Great for working on cars, grilling in the dark, or checking for monsters under your kid’s bed. Overall: If you need a compact EDC flashlight that punches way above its weight class, this is the one. It’s tough, bright, rechargeable, pocket-friendly, and just classy enough that you’ll show it off to your friends even if they didn’t ask.
