ReyLight Pineapple mini (copper) AAA/10440 flashlight (OP Updated)

Via copy/paste, so…no.

Is the code limited to one use per account?

Amazon

Just checked, the code was for one use one account only. But fixed now.

hello:

i have received my light, and it is lovely looking and even teenier than i thought.

however, this is my first “twistie” flashlight, so i wonder if you could post a bit about how to operate most effectively.
i’ve pretty much figured it out, but would love to have simple step by step instructions.
for example: are folks able to operate this one handed? because the twisting action seems way
to “tight” to do this. or will the threads break in? another example: what is the best way to turn the light off?
so far, i always have to check and make sure i don’t leave it on moonlight.

i’m currently running a tenergy centura AAA; i assume this is good to go.

thanks, and again, this seems pretty cool.

Congrats on your new light, yes your batteries are a good choice.

Your light has 3 brightness levels. Starting from off, you twist on and get the first level.
a quick twist off and back on, and you get second level. Again quick twist off and on, you get third level. Again quick twist off and on, you get back to first level again… it continues the same, each quick off on, from On, gives next level…

to turn off untwist half a turn or so, until the light goes out.
here is a video:

yes it will become easier one handed once the Oring loosens up. You can test this by removing the Oring, just don’t put it under water without the Oring. It is OK not to use the Oring, if you like how easily it works one handed… eventually it will work one handed with the Oring too.

It is OK to lubricate the Oring, but if you use too much, the light will become finicky and skip levels, because the oil will make contact unpredictably. So, don’t overlubricate…

when you twist for off, if you only twist less than 1/4 turn, the head can be pressed towards the body, or at an angle, and the light will turn on. this is not a good thing, because it can come on in your pocket, so after twisting off, do a test, push the head towards the body to make sure it is unscrewed far enough not to trigger the switch when the head is pressed.

enjoy!

The oring is tight, yes. to prevent the head getting lost of falling off. After some using, it will become loose.

Thanks! I am going to order another one in a few days.

My two arrived today and they’re gorgeous, thank you :slight_smile: very bright using a AAA NiMH; on 10440 the output is amazing for the size but it doesn’t take long to get hot, so i will keep an eye on it (using an Efest IMR 10440).

The pre-flash in moon mode is absolutely not an issue at all, as you have already pointed out you really need to be looking for it to notice it.

I have a tritium vial coming soon, something which i’m new to; i wondered if superglue was appropriate to cement it into the slot in the light? I’ve done some searches and various products have been mentioned which are either prohibitively expensive for the single use that i need, or are difficult to get hold of in the UK, hence my fallback of superglue :slight_smile:

Pre-flash is highly noticeable using 10440’s with mine.

thanks for this info.

I’m on the fence about the pre-flash. It is noticeable but fortunately it’s very brief and in a way it actually kinda lets me know I’ve switched the light on since moonlight is so low.

I have a DQG Tiny AAA that noticeably pre-flashes in all modes, really bad.

I like it for moonlight mode too just like you said it’s benefit was, but for other modes, it’s not helpful. I bought a full-size pineapple instead of another of the mini.

is the inventory currently on Amazon the fixed one or first version?

Well mine was bought last week and flashes.

The inventory is 1st version.

In- if still available

Available. PM coming.

This I have noticed. But, today I accidentally discovered that I can trigger the switch by pressing down on the lens with my fingernail. If I back out to just where the head can no longer be manipulated to activate the light, pressing down on the lens still triggers until I untwist just a little more.

Does anyone else’s light behave like this? I did recently use acetone to remove the coating from the copper so maybe the oring at the lens was compromised.

I had not realized the pineapple was coated

my other Lumintop Copper AAA lights are not coated so I have not used acetone on them. Mine don’t turn on when I press on the glass
