Reflector revised: ReyLight Pineapple Brass 14500/AA Flashlight, Nichia 219C 4000K

Here’s what I got when I tested mine… 3 different cell types, Alkaline, Lithium Primary and LiIon

Testing showed the following results using a new Alkaline Copper Top 1.5V cell…

LevelCurrent__Lumens
1…………0.003A…….0.069
2…………0.047A…….4.002
3…………0.391A……30.774
4…………1.325A……86.94

Energizer Lithium Primary 1.5V

LevelCurrent__Lumens
1……….0.003A………0.00 on the meter
2……….0.044A………2.09
3……….0.389A…….33.496
4……….1.323A……106.95

And with a freshly charged dark purple Efest 14500 650mAh cell…

LevelCurrent__Lumens
1…………0.001A………0.00345 (firefly, barely glowing)
2…………0.063A……10.212
3…………0.477A……96.945
4…………1.83A……362.25

Thanks. These seem to correlate with mine quite well. I got lots of variation on high with the 14500.

I like do the design of the Damascus one and would buy a Ti version of that if available. Polished, preferably :slight_smile:

Received mine. The LED isn’t quite centered and there’s a bit of side play in the switch, but other than that it’s fantastic. The threads are very smooth, probably the best of any of my flashlights.

mine arrived in the bay area last week but traveled up and down the peninsula for some reason. Hopefully it will be in my hands tonight when I get home

Got mine today, all is well, thanks Rey!

mine came in yesterday and i put in an efest purple 14500 now its in my pocket for duty. Mine looks to be perfectly centered and threads are perfect

Just got mine delivered today. Thanks Rey!!!

Hi.
Just got mine today and everything works fine, both AA and 14500.
Very nice light, perfectly centered.
Thanks Rey. :+1:

Mine was waiting for me tonight after work.
Yup, beam perfectly centered.
At 1st, I thought that moonlight was not bright enough, but after playing with it
for awhile, I realize that moonlight is exactly where it should be.
This light is much heavier than I expected, and that’s NOT a complaint.
Beautiful light!
Rey, thanks so much for this!

Okay Rey. People love it. Next light in ti with higher frequency pwm please.

Yes, talking with the engineer now, 4k Hz.

Sounds good! I love my brass ReyLight Pineapple - that’s for sure. Just had it for two days - perfect lowest firefly level - nice mode spacing… a trit slot… what’s not to like?

This is my tracking on this order. Think it needs more bouncing around before it gets here...

Congrats Tom! It’s a Boy! :smiley:

I just don't know about our postal service sometimes... It's only been in the US for 2 days, so I'm hopeful.

Tom same thing happened to me where it bounced from sf to ssf for days lol

good news!
LOVE the brass one!

Got mine today too. Really nice light. I have no issues with the PWM, cause I can’t tell its there at all. My only “gripe” is with the ring in the beam due to the two-stage reflector shape. Its a minor thing though. Loaded the tail up with an “icy blue” trit. I like it!

A couple of photos:

After all the chaotic tracking, guess what came yesterday? Yep, got it! The USPS tracking emails stopped, but tracking info is now updated - weird... Quality is excellent, threading silky smooth. Not a fan of the button feel - mine is very loose, wobbles around - I'll have to take a look inside to see if there's an issue there. For the pics above, mine seems to have a bigger gap of space around the SS button. No one seemed to complain about it so maybe it's just mine.

The beam is more white than expected - doesn't look like Gunga's beamshots, but that's just a first impression - need to compare with other tints I have in 219B's and 219C's. I know 4000K CREE's would look more yellow. I already received the 4000K 219C's I ordered separately, so could install one and compare.

Overall outstanding though. I'd say my initial measurements of amps and lumens match up well to Dale's, just lower across the board because I used a not so good 14500 cell - MXJO.
