Boruit RJ-02 headlight... 2 thumbs up...

On the ’02, you definitely don’t want the shoe (plastic thingy the lens itself snaps into). Same as in an S2+.

The ’02 doesn’t have it, and the come-with TIR just drops out, and the new one just drops in. Dunno if it’d even fit in the hole with the shoe, and doubt it’d be able to be screwed down tight if it would.

Bonus is that these 20mm TIRs will also fit the S2+ as I mentioned. Blends the light so much better than a reflector, no more fried-egg beam, and the 4C is a beautiful CT/tint. Like warm sunlight…

How do you know so much about this new model? Are you reading the Russian reviews? Lol EDIT: Nevermind, I see that Russian review link.

The 2 things I don’t like are:

1. No over head strap, just around your head. Makes it less secure in my opinion.
2. No more stepless dimming. It now has 5 brightness levels.

On the plus side it has a 1A built in charger with a more protected cover.

There are actually 3 new models like this from Boruit. This one, a double led one and a zoomie one.

We talk about it here.

You can see all their models on the Boruit AliExpress store.

Just tested the charging mechanism of the Boruit RJ-02, it charges quite slow ~0.60A max, but seems like a good charge curve. (using EBD-USB+ to monitor the charge rate)

(tested a cell I got from a powerbank, that 18650 I’ve already tested to be around 2300mAh with another analyzing charger)

Upon fully charged from the RJ-02 (indicator just turned green), I took the battery out and checked that it’s really close to 4.20v; and just to test how “fully” charged it was, I tried to charge the “just-freshly-charged-from-RJ-02” 18650 on my analyzing charger, and it was able to charge only another 10mAh into the cell, meaning it really charges cells to full.

This I, among others wrote those reviews. You can ask your questions, do not be shy :wink:

Could someone sum up in English, for those of us who are language-impaired?

I keep looking for these on BG or GB but they haven’t shown up yet? Anyone seen these somewhere else other than EBay and AE?

See this thread! Trevi_lux deals and coupons :+1:

I can translate it using the chrome browser. It’s a bit tricky to read, but you can make our the important stuff.

How long does the RJ-02 run on high?
Im guessing there is not temp regulator?

Vaguely recall it drew a smidge over 1A, so maybe 2-3hrs, depending on the cell.

I ordered these two BORUIT headlamps from Alie Express.(free shipping)

I ordered them on Jan. 20th and they just landed in the states yesterday. One of the fastest shippers I have encountered on AE!

New thread for the single LED Boruit headlamp found here.

Bought one for the heck of it
I hope Lightbringer gets his commission !

Only one? C’mon, the Bringer Of Light needs a new Q8…

I measured 1.40A on the Boruit RJ-02’s tailcap current with a freshly-charged battery.
If I recall correctly, the RJ-02 does not appear to have low-voltage protection, so it may run down the battery if left on. (maybe someone can confirm?)

That is the information I have. So it is recommended to use a protected battery so that there is no chance of an accidental over discharge.

Just got one, the led is not XP-G2, even not a cree led
The tint is acceptable(no horrible blue/green tint)
For 9$ this is a good light

Toldja. :smiley:

Who told you it used a xpg2?

It’s some no-name led. A bit on the bluish side in my opinion.

How hacquable is it (D10, D25)?

Separate pcbs for the emitters? Driver board flashable? Etc.
