Re: Code in OP : ReyLight Pineapple Brass 14500/AA Flashlight, Nichia 219C

Rec'd mine today-and I LOVE If! Excellent Moonlight, good spacing on the modes. Led well centered. Installed the
Trit without problem. I will put it through its paces and report back later. Thanks Rey, another HOME RUN!!

+1 regarding all these thoughts (haven't put the trit in yet though) - its a winner - and my third ReyLight!

It looks nice and ripe! I have to try that. How durable is the patina?

There you go-looks great! How did you achieve this more natural aged brass look if I could ask.

I used Jeff Clubb's method:

Birchwood Casey Perma Blue (liquid gun blue).

I polished it up with brass to remove all oxidation first then clean it up with alcohol.
Then applied 1 layer of the gun blue with a sponge, wait for about 2-3 mins before applying the another.
I did about 3-4 layers before getting to this darkness...

Another reason this light qualifies for the "Most Diverse Power Sources":it runs well on Eneloop AAA, AA and Alkaline AAA AND AA, and Lithium Primary(Energizer Ultimate) AA and AAA, AND Lithium Rechargeable, 10440 and 14500!!' I tried all the above and no surprise(because Rey delivers). In a crisis, if you use AAA format-lithium, Alkalie, NIMH, I would recommend wrapping the smaller cells with dollar bills to ensure they do not rattle-plus you have a backup stash of cash! The more
I use this light the more I love it! Can we have another run with copper, Titanium, more Damascus or Mokume?

Just confirmed mine will also run on a AAA using a 3mm thick magnet on the negative end of the battery.
 
Re: Code in OP : ReyLight Pineapple Brass 14500/AA Flashlight, Nichia 219C

What about button top vs flat top 14500's, will the light work with either battery?
 
Re: Code in OP : ReyLight Pineapple Brass 14500/AA Flashlight, Nichia 219C

Someone on Flashlight Fanatics confirmed flat tops will work, that's really what I was trying to find out. Looking forward to getting mine!

Thanks mcbrat! I was pretty sure that was you but I'm never 100 percent sure when crossing forums who's who 🤔
