Skilhunt E2A AA/14500 Torch

The Skilhunt E2A is a meticulously engineered flashlight designed for those who demand reliability, performance, and portability in a single compact unit. At just 85mm in length and 19mm in diameter, it’s one of the most pocketable lights on the market, yet it packs a serious punch. Its sleek, minimalist design is built around practicality—every feature serves a purpose. The Type III hard anodised aluminium body resists scratches and abrasions, while the black or gun metal grey finish adds a subtle, professional look that suits both urban and outdoor environments.

Powering the E2A is a high-efficiency Luminus SST20 LED, available in three distinct colour temperatures to match different lighting needs. The Cool White 6500K version delivers maximum brightness and long-distance visibility, ideal for night hiking or emergency situations. The Neutral White 5000K offers balanced illumination, reducing eye strain during prolonged use. For tasks requiring accurate colour perception—such as reading maps, inspecting gear, or first aid—the High CRI (4000K, 95 CRI) model ensures colours appear natural and vivid, a significant advantage in low-light scenarios.

The dual battery system is a standout feature. Whether you're on a remote hike with no charging access or simply prefer the convenience of alkaline batteries, the E2A adapts. The included 14500 Li-ion battery offers extended runtime and reusability via USB-C, while AA compatibility ensures you can always find a replacement. This flexibility makes it suitable for UK campers, hikers, cyclists, and urban users alike.

Operation is intuitive and robust. The mechanical tail switch is durable and responsive, with a half-press cycling through brightness levels and a full press toggling the light on or off. This simplicity ensures reliable function even with gloves or in stressful situations. The TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optic lens provides a smooth, focused beam with excellent throw and even spill, making it effective for both close-range tasks and long-distance visibility.

Built to endure, the E2A is IPX-8 waterproof, meaning it can be submerged in water up to 1 metre deep for 30 minutes without damage. It also survives drops from 1 metre—critical for outdoor use where accidents happen. The inclusion of reverse polarity protection prevents damage from incorrect battery installation, while the memory function ensures you resume your preferred brightness level after turning off.

Its compact size and integrated features—removable pocket clip, lanyard holes, and textured grip—make it a true all-rounder. Whether clipped to a jacket, tied to a backpack, or carried in a pocket, the E2A is always ready when you need it.
