Introduction#

The ReyLight Pineapple Mini is my favourite EDC torch. Today I am reviewing a Titanium Stonewashed version with a frag pattern.

I previously reviewed aluminium versions of the ReyLight Pineapple Mini:

Rey kindly gave me this torch when I visited in late 2025. I have not been paid for this review nor have I held back my opinions of this torch.

Packaging#

The torch is was originally in vacuum sealed bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, and placed inside a small transparent box with a ReyLight-branded cardboard outer sheath.

The following was included in the box:

ReyLight Pineapple Mini
Flat top 10440 Li-ion 3.7V 350mAh cell

Torch in use#

The torch feels comfortable in my hand. It is nice and compact!

There is a lanyard hole built into a washer between the tube and the tailcap.

Build quality#

This particular ReyLight Pineapple Mini MK3 is made of titanium and it has a stonewashed finish with a frag pattern.

There is plenty of grip and there are no sharp edges.

The reverse-clicky tail switch is recessed to prevent accidentally pressing the button. The torch can tailstand easily due to the recessed button.

I personally prefer the old style of button on the ReyLight Pineapple Mini Green.

The button is a bit squishy and has some play.

The threads are smooth for a titanium torch.

Here is the driver:

LED, bezel, reflector and beam#

This particular ReyLight Pineapple Mini comes with a Nichia 519A 4000K emitter and an orange-peel reflector.

There is an anti-reflective coating on the lens.

The centering gasket and the o-ring near the lens glow in the dark.

CCT, CRI, and duv#

I have taken Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) and Colour Rendering Index (CRI, RA of R1-R8) measurements with the torch positioned a metre away from an Opple Light Master Pro III (G3).

The CCT is around 4000K, the CRI is around 97 and the Delta u, v is close to zero (pure white).

The beam produced has a hot spot that smoothly blends into a slightly wider spill. It is suitable for EDC use.

Cell	Mode	CCT (K)	CRI (Ra)	x	y	Duv
10440	2%	4060	97.2	0.3785	0.3767	0.0006
10440	20%	4071	97.1	0.3779	0.3761	0.0004
10440	100%	4035	97.1	0.3786	0.3734	-0.0010

The pocket clip was included in the torch weight.

Size comparison with its competition#

User interface#

The user interface is simple to use but it is complex to configure.

State	Action	Result
Off	Click	On
On	Click	Off
On	Half click (tap)	Cycle (Moonlight, 2%, 20%, 100%)
On	Double half click (tap)	100%

Here are some of the things that can be configured:

select one of four mode groups;
toggle mode memory on or off;
toggle moonlight mode on or off;
change the cycle order (Low to High, or High to Low).

Here is a Programming Guide from Rey’s website:

To Enter Configuration Mode:  

- From ON, half-click/tap the tail switch 8+ times until it starts to flash.  

(When the configuration mode is entered, the light will start to blink once, then a quick flash, blink twice, then a quick flash, blink three times, then a quick flash, blink four times, then a quick flash, blink five times, then a quick flash. This sequence continues twice if a selection is not chosen)  

* The number of blinks indicates the configuration option number to be changed.  
* Half-click/tap the tail switch during any quick flashes following the blinks to select the configuration option.  

- Here are the configuration options:  

1. Mode group selection  

(After entering this menu, you can see it blink 4 times. The number of blinks indicates the number of mode groups)  

The 1st blink -------- Group1:  (Moonlight)-2%-20%-100%  
The 2nd blink -------- Group2:  (Moonlight)-10%-40%-100%  
The 3rd blink -------- Group3:  (Moonlight)-2%-10%-50%  
The 4th blink -------- Group4:  (Moonlight)-50%-100%-strobe-SOS  

* Half-click/tap the tail switch during any blinks to select the mode group.  
* After selecting the mode group, you can half-click/tap to select the brightness mode.  

2. Memory mode on-off toggle (default off)  

To turn memory mode on, half-click/tap the tail switch during the quick flash after the second blink.  

* To turn off the memory mode, reenter the configuration mode and repeat the instruction above.  

3. Moonlight mode off-on toggle (default on)  

To turn the moonlight off, half-click/tap the tail switch during the quick flash after the third blink.  

* Repeat to turn the moonlight on.  

4. Mode order toggle (default LMH)  

To change the mode order from Low Medium High to High Medium Low, half-click/tap the tail switch during the quick flash after the fourth blink.  

* Repeat to reverse the order.  

For example, the default mode order of group 1 is (Moonlight)-2%-20%-100%, if you change the mode group to HML, the mode ORDER of group 1 will be (Moonlight)-100%-20%-2%  

5. Factory reset  

Half-click/tap the tail switch during the quick flash after the fifth blink to reset all options to their original states.

Strobe#

Strobe has an alternating frequency.

Strobe, SOS

I measured Strobe and SOS with a Zoyi ZT-703S oscilloscope.

Low voltage protection#

There is low voltage protection.

I tested low voltage protection by connecting the driver of the torch to a bench power supply and then by lowering the voltage from 4.2V to 0V for a 10440 Li-ion cell.

The light turns off around 3.04V.

PWM#

I did not notice any visible PWM (flickering).

I measured the PWM of the light with a Zoyi ZT-703S oscilloscope.

2%, 20%, 100%

What I like about the UI#

It is simple to use.

What could be improved#

Settings like mode memory are reset to their defaults after changing the mode group. You need to configure mode memory again afer changing the mode group.

Batteries and charging#

Battery#

A flat top 10440 Li-ion 3.7V 350mAh cell was included. You can message Rey to buy a 10440 with built-in USB-C charging.

A piece of card was found at the top of the cell to prevent the torch from turning on while being delivered.

I tried the following cells:

Cell	Top	Compatible?
10440 Li-ion 3.7V 350mAh	Flat	Yes
eneloop pro AAA Ni-MH 900mAh 1.2V	Button	Yes

Charging#

There is no built-in charging.

Performance#

Lumen measurements#

I used a bench power supply to measure the current at turn on.

Cell	Mode	Amps at start	Lumens @turn on	Lumens @30 sec	Lumens @10 min
Ni-MH	2%	0.06 A	9	9	9
Ni-MH	10%	0.27 A	31	29	29
Ni-MH	20%	0.45 A	53	52	50
Ni-MH	50%	3.02 A	120	73	28
Ni-MH	100%	4.10 A	130	59	29
10440	2%	0.02 A	12	12	12
10440	10%	0.15 A	48	44	41
10440	20%	0.30 A	87	80	75
10440	50%	0.73 A	206	186	104
10440	100%	1.69 A	355	318	103

Standby drain#

There is no standby drain. This torch has a mechanical tailswitch.

Runtime graphs#

I used my own DIY lumen tube with a TSL2591 sensor and forked bmengineer’s project RuTiTe to record runtimes.
Note: Lumen measurements may be off by 10% with my DIY lumen tube.

The room temperature was about 20 C.

Runtime#

Here is a summary of the runtime results:

Cell	Mode	Runtime	Turn off	Final voltage
10440	100%	1h 18min 46s	1h 18min 46s	3.33
10440	50%	1h 16min 48s	1h 16min 48s	3.31
10440	20%	1h 16min 2s	1h 16min 3s	3.53
10440	10%	2h 26min 53s	2h 26min 53s	3.51
10440	2%	10h 6min 34s	10h 6min 34s	3.51
Ni-MH	100%	2h 55min 0s	3h 3min 42s+	0.97
Ni-MH	50%	2h 46min 6s	2h 46min 9s+	0.95
Ni-MH	20%	1h 23min 53s	1h 23min 53s+	1.16
Ni-MH	10%	2h 37min 5s	2h 37min 5s+	1.16
Ni-MH	2%	9h 40min 30s	9h 40min 30s+	0.89

“Runtime” is the time until the output reduces to 10% of the output at 30 seconds (as per the ANSI/PLATO FL1 2019 Standard).

“Turn off” is the time until my DIY lumen tube no longer detects more than one lumen. The actual time that the torch turns off may be much longer.

“+” indicates that the light remained on after recording had stopped.

The runtimes of this titanium ReyLight Pineapple Mini torch are very close, but slightly shorter, compared to the runtimes of the aluminium ReyLight Pineapple Mini Orange.
