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

I would still vote for the the thru hole clip.

I never use clips on lights this small. Pineapple looks much better with no clip and no clip holes IMO.

Any updated info about the reflectors from the current stock at Banggood? Since i ordered a pineapple from them yesterday…

They have the 1st old batch. Got your pm and already replied.

Need a longer, stronger clip. Not that one. Too short and too weak.

Great, I can hardly wait :smiley:

Gimme the Ti-lan please. This one is perfect with the upgraded reflector. Just give an option without any hidden carnival modes ;). Mine. Moonlight-low-med-high-(turbo). comes on in low or med. PWM doesn’t matter as long as the frequency is high enough for the PWM-Taliban not able to detect it without camera settings etc ;). CRI doesn’t matter much on this kins of light as long as it isn’t obviously reddish (mistaken by some for “high CRI”, the CRI Taliban). Just 5000-5500 proper “natural white” LED please.

What about a clip like the Lumintop Woorm 4th?

It would fit well

My Pineapple doesn’t work with Olight’s 14450.
Tried wire jumper and it worked.

My suspicion is something about springs on its tailcap, will investigate it later after office hours.

Please kindly update.

Olight’s batteries are protected as far as I know. The Olight 14500 might be too long for the pineapple. Try a standard non-protected 14500

It is designed to take both protected and unprotected, as long as it is less than 52.5mm. Most protected batteries are 52mm.

It’s true. Olight’s 14500 is about 1-2 mm longer than my Eneloop.

Btw here’s my investigation:

Spring Swap
Pineapple’s back spring is a bit thick and long. So I suspected that this may caused the problem. It even made my Olight battery a bit dented inside (see picture).

So I swapped the spring with another one taken from dead driver. It’s shorter and slimmer, I think it’s better than original one because it has golden color :laughing:

It works BUT only when the tail is not fully tightened.

FAILED.


More insulation
I thought that the problem was short circuit with the retainer ring at its tailcap. So I added nail paint into the retainer ring as well as around the negative pole of the battery to avoid short contact.

The result is still the same as above. Only working when the head or tailcap is a bit loosen.

FAILED


Magical Stuff
Just when I didn’t know what to do, I tried to loosen the retainer ring for driver a bit. Just in case it will work.

YES IT WORKS!

How long is your battery? including the button top.

Some times I’ve had to cut the wrap from the neg end of the cell back even with edge of the cell to make contact on some lights and some cells,
I’m using the WindyFire 14500 cells with this pineapp and they are perfect in flat and button, that cell looks sort of scuffed up on the wrap so, just a thought.

Lan is here.

Rey, please stop posting pictures like that! Now i have to tell myself all the time that i have enough flashlights…

YES !!! :smiley:

But can’t find it on MD? Where to order please?
