The switch on the Reylight Pineapple Mini is a mechanical clicky. I wrote more about this Ultrafire WF-602C flashlight and explained a little about PWM too. In a display faster than 0.2ms or so, the on/off cycle is more than one screen, so it’d just (very incorrectly) look like a flat line. Unfortunately, the PWM on this light is so bad that it doesn’t even work with my normal scale, with is 50 microseconds (50us). I’m adding multiple timescales, so it’ll be easier to compare to the test light. Also, here’s the light with the worst PWM I could find. From there output wanders down in a much less regulated fashion than on NiMH.įor reference, here’s a baseline shot, with all the room lights off and almost nothing hitting the sensor. The stepdown is around the same timeframe (30 seconds in).
Turbo with a 10440 is much higher than with NiMH. A 10440 can be included with your purchase from Rey, too. Here’s the Pineapple Mini with a 10440 installed. I actually stopped this test, and the light was still going strong at the low level. High is also very stable, and quite low output. There’s a big stepdown at around 30 seconds, and then the output holds very steadily for a long while. Here’s some testing on the NiMH chemistry. Below is an Eneloop AAA NiMH cell installed. The cell installs in the normal direction – positive end toward the head. Thus, the preference is for either regular AAA cells or flat top 10440 cells. And also the lithium-ion 10440 cell works! Output is different between the voltages, too.Īccording to the product page, the body doesn’t like long button tops, due to fitment issues. All the usual AAA types work – alkaline, NiMH, lithium primary. The Pineapple Mini surprisingly can run on 1.5V sources, and also 4.2V sources. The clip is not reversible, and as such, this light can’t be used on a hat. The clip has a nice open mouth and is overall finished very cleanly. It’s a deep (ish) carry clip – that is, it’s a deep carry clip if your pants will fit in the narrow shoulder you can see below. Officially: 89mm length (including the switch button) There’s a glow glasket in the head – it’s very glowy, too!
The negative end of the light has a spring. The switch is accessible once the tailcap is unscrewed. The head and tail threads are not the same sizes, so unlike some other Pineapples I’ve had, the head and tail don’t screw together.
#Flashlight clicky switch driver
I believe the driver is screwed in.īoth head and tail unscrew easily – nothing is locked down. The head doesn’t really have any cooling fins, but what ridges it does have are good for unscrewing the head. The body has somewhat of a frag pattern, but this harkens back to the Reylight Dawn. Anyway, it’s a 1.5mm x 6mm vial, which can be purchased separately elsewhere. I didn’t include a tritium vial, mainly because I didn’t see the tiny place on the webpage that mentioned it was possible to include it…. The switch has a tritium slot, which you can have fitted by Rey. The body is nice and thick, giving the light a good weight in hand. Reylight Pineapple Mini Brass Flashlight.I test output and such in PVC tubes!! Please consider claims within 10% of what I measure to be perfectly reasonable (accurate, even). I don’t have $10,000 or even $1,000 worth of testing equipment. ^ Measurement disclaimer: I am an amateur flashlight reviewer. Long Review The Big Table ReyLight Pineapple Mini Flashlight The rest of it is just a bonus! Brass is great. Nichia 219b 4500K with a high CRI r9080 really sells the light. Shipped, the ReyLight Pineapple Mini Flashlight is $44. There’s also a twisty version, which has been available for a while, and I reviewed it here. There’s titanium and copper, and of course brass (seen here). There are at least a few versions of the ReyLight Pineapple Mini Flashlight. Here’s a link to the ReyLight Pineapple Mini Flashlight product page. It’s great, inexpensive, and supports multiple chemistries. Today I have in for review a light you all knew I’d buy… It’s the ReyLight Pineapple Mini flashlight in brass, with Nichia 219b.
