First Impressions: Archer 1A V2, NW & CW

I received my NW & CW Archer 1A's a few days ago.

Primarily, I wanted to see NW and CW differences.

BIG, I have now decided to only buy NW lights. Although there is less lumens with an NW, its purely an on paper thing. You can 'see more' with NW, much nicer to use.

Wife preferred NW too.

Torches are nice, I wonder about the durability of the tail switches (nothing gives me indication they will fail, but I just wonder). They do 'squek' a little bit, like plastic on plastic after a day of use. Rest of the torch is beautiful. Buttons are easy to find in the dark. All works well!

In fact, the difference between NW and CW is so great, I scrapped my plan to order a NItecore MH12, and have now placed an order for a TN12 NW, UC1 Charger and an 3400mAh 18650 Battery. Should be here soon!

I have a TN12 2014 CW and wished I would have gotten the NW instead. I think the 20 lumen to 280 lumen mode spacing is a bit silly and the tail switch on mine occasionally malfunctions, but other than that it's a solid unit. I think you'll be happy with it.
