So I'm a flashaholic and have 3 flashlights on my person almost always. I have recently gotten into titanium edc gear. I had been carrying a titanium twisty AAA light that had a super low moon mode and always came on in low which was perfect for night time navigation after my family was already in bed. I didn't know about the Reylight Pineapple Mini until seeing a YouTube video on them.
After some research and seeing how reasonably priced this light was for being a premium material, programmable and able to run on both lithium and primary batteries, I decided I needed one.
Killzone flashlights was listed as selling the Pineapple Minis, so I went to their website only to find the titanium versions out of stock. So I signed up to be notified when the lights were back in stock.
After no more than a couple of weeks, I got a notification email saying they were back in stock, so I went on Killzone's site and ordered the light.
The fit and finish is exceptional. The clip is sturdy and secure. I ordered the stone-washed version and it looks great. U.I. is great and having the option to program different modes puts this light in the class of high-end custom lights. I use the light in the default programming as I find the mode spacing just about perfect for my uses. And running on the included 10440, max output is SUPER bright for an AAA light.
Then there's the tint. It was listed on Killzone's website as being a Nichia 219B, which is reportedly a tint snob's dream emitter. After ordering the light, I received an email from Killzone stating the information on their website was outdated and that the light would actually have a Nichia 519A and asked if I still wanted to proceed with my order. I said I did and I can say I was not disappointed in the tint.
Now for the cons of this light....which there are only 2 for me and they are very minor. The first is the output of the moon mode is a little too high for my liking when running on the 10440 battery for my typical night time use. My previous light was sub-1 lumen (0.7 lumen I believe). I'm not sure the exact lumens the Pineapple's moon mode is, but I wish it was just a little lower. The second con is purely cosmetic... and it's not even the light. As I said, I opted for the stone-washed version. The light comes with a polished pocket clip that in my opinion, doesn't go well with the stone-washed finish. I'm sure the polished clip looks fantastic on the raw machined titanium version of the light. I was able to stone-wash the clip myself which then made the clip look like it belonged on the light.
This light checks just about every box as far as features:
✓ titanium
✓ programmable
✓ clicky switch
✓ lithium and primary compatible
✓ high cri emitter
✓ sturdy/secure pocket clip.
Killzone's customer service was excellent and shipping was quick. I highly recommend them. I don't know what else I can say except good luck in picking your favorite material and body design! But whatever you end up picking picking, you won't be disappointed.
