THRUNITE Archer Mini with additional lower mode?

[J0EGL0W]

I'm sure this question has probably been asked here at some time or another, but couldn't find anything in the Search.

After a number of years seeking the perfect all-round EDC flashlight, I have settled (for the time being) on the Thrunite Archer Mini. Been using this model for a couple years now and it really seems to handle 99% of the situations I find myself in on a daily basis.

But in my endless seeking for perfection, I just can't help but wonder if there's anything very similar that has a 3rd mode of firefly/moonlight brightness - just for those 'sometimes' moments when it's nice to have. That's possibly the only thing that might make this light a little better.

What are your suggestions for me to try or look into?

Wow ...

Not at all what I expected here.

It's been pretty dead here, seems like most of the action has moved to Reddit, but much of that is NLD (new light day) picture posting.

The THRUNITE Archer Mini is an AAA light right? If so I'd recommend a Reylight Mini Pineapple Aluminum. The included 10440 LiIon has to be charged outside the light, and it will run on alkaline and NiMh in a pinch. It's not well regulated but the moonlight is pretty low on LiIon and very low on Nimh, and you have some programmability on modes and memory. I think the reflector produces a nicer beam than most small optics, but I haven't seen the Archer Mini.

I have one for bedside and travel use with NiMh and another for EDC use with LiIon, and another Ti one just because I liked the first two so much.

Yes, it's a AAA-sized light, but it's rechargeable and the battery is not removable.

I'm not a fan of Reddit OR Quora. I don't like the format at all. I still comment on them both occasionally, but I like these type forums better as far as the way the threads are laid out and how they function. More user-friendly in my opinion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm always interested in competing models/designs. I'll check out the Reylight mini Pineapple.
