Thanks Kreisler, If the Saber 1A is like the Ti2,but AA,then I am buying. Hope they make them in their special orange/gold lotto color too. 
Edit; now that I figured what light the T10 is, so I have to wait a bit longer for a better AA EDC.
That Saber 1A looks awesome. If only they put the clip on the tail cap instead of the body. Don’t any of the manufacturers ever use their clips? Machine slots in both head and tail cap so clip can attach to either end, user’s preference. These clips that attach to the middle of the light are terrible. 178 lumens on 1.5V is nice, but I’m glad to see 14500 support also.
Archer? I don't see no stinkin' Archer!
I don’t see specs that 14500 is supported.
I have three T10 lights I had at a good discount and I love the light it gives in a small package. I also ordered a new TI2 after some good experience with my TI’s. I have two Neutron 2A and a 1C and Archer series don’t make much sense after these but this Saber line looks like a good improvement over the XPG led. T20 original wouldn’t accept a lithium rechargeable but this Saber seems to do. I’ll get the one with CR123 this time I guess. Maybe I’ll make some Nichia T10s out of mines and get a Saber 1A too.
Archer 1C now available on eBay only as “Buy it Now” - no auctions, no “Best Offer”. $49 take it or leave it. Maybe they will start auction later.
Me? I’ll wait until my TN10 and TN11 are replaced by Thrunite (both returned today).
Must be the Saber because I don’t see 14500 is supported for the Archer? I’m confused too. Where are the specs for the Saber that 14500 is supported? Thanks.
Everybody should know by now that Kreisler is a split personality,so he writes about one light in the headlines and another in the thread. Just to make a mess of it all. 
I’m only asking about the 14500 format because I’m looking for a nice AA/14500 light, Xeno EO3 U2 or T6 looks like the ticket.
Just wait a little while and TN will have a deal on the new lights! 
I know I missed adding the Xeno to my cart. I read the review on the E03 V3, the U2 and T6 version has the highest 460lm. E03 is like $28 at HKE.
I guess the XP-G2 would not support the 14500? Would the led burn out if the 14500 battery is used?
The working voltage is max 4.2v, so 14500’s are supported. Nothing to to with the LED - it’s the driver that would burn out if it wasn’t supported.
Good job Kreisler. It’s a tempting flashlight.
Do you think $ 49 is a fair price? How much do you think it should cost?
My understanding from reading another post was that the XP-G2 supports a maximum of 1.5v vs the XM-L which can do the 14500 without being overdriven.
I know its cool white but does it have any blue in the spill?
And how do you find the tail clicky? I have few that make a quality light feel cheep, like “ting ting ting” when clicking them.
Also is there any beamshots coming?
Thanks for the review.
I got Archer 1A from their Amazon stores, powerful EDC flashlight, enjoy it :heart_eyes: !!!Also a factory to end user marketplace, I Have purchased their Archer 1A for 49USD

$39 offer accepted. Expect delivery next week.
I find it hard to believe that I purchased yet another Thrunite.
I already have the TN31, t21, t20, T10, Ti blue, and Ti Gold.
The T10 is one of my favorite lights, but it is not meant to be overpowered by a 14500 li-on
whew:) I knew I could come to grips with this impulse buy!
hi to subscribe.
How long does the Archer run on a 14500 on high mode? Would it be running at 400 lumens?
