Your smartphone’s flashlight is pretty good at shining about 3 feet in front of you. But you can get far better illumination, versatility, ergonomics, and durability with the ThruNite Archer 2A C, an affordable flashlight with high-end features.We settled on this model after spending four weeks in the New Hampshire woods with 27 flashlights, draining almost 90 batteries, researching the topic for over 60 hours, reading through countless threads on a number of flashlight-enthusiast forums, and speaking to a man who has personally reviewed almost 200 flashlights.
