I had the non working one but I finally got my replacement in the mail and this is a really cool light. A programmable AAA/Lithium driver is awesome and now I want an AA sized one with the same driver. Are there any plans to update the AA/14500 sized Pineapple with a programmable driver like this? I’d buy one for sure.
I can’t answer your question but I can tell you that the simple driver of the pineapple has a trick that I wish all lights had: after 2 trips around all the levels instead of going to disco mode it toggles the memory on/off. I usually hate memory but there are times when it’s nice to have. The pineapple is useful in so many situations because of this feature. Specifically - when using it at work I use memory and at home I like it to start on moonlight.
Yea I know, I’m the same way, Usually I want memory off but the option to toggle it is nice.
The new driver in the AAA/10440 version has toggleable memory plus a bunch of other stuff. A higher powered version of the same driver in the 14500 sized Pineapple would be sweet.
Agreed! I have a copper mini on the way and the UI was a big selling point. So many UI seem like an afterthought, this one brings me back to the days of LF2XT.
International shipping is slow as molasses these days…hoping the copper arrives before long as I’ll be ordering a TI version soon!
I’ve been getting more into lights that run on “regular” sized batteries as I’m getting older and, as much as my kids love their flashlights, I don’t think they’ll get into the hobby as much as I have. They understand the issue with Alkaleaks and are all about NIMH so if I kick the bucket they’ll fight over lights like Rey makes. I call them my “legacy lights”. Hopefully it’s a long time off but ya never know.
