WTB: Jetbeam RRT01 – Any place to buy it?! + [RRT01 2019 discussion]

My RRT-01 came in too, and since I’m not spoiled by owning a V11R, I love the control ring and how low the light can go! And it looks just as good in reality as on the pictures. The thin clip I see as useful, it is nice springy.
I soldered a brass button on top of a 1200mAh Keeppower 18350 so that will be its principal battery.
Now installing the (6x2mm) trits and contemplating which led it gets, maybe one that does not exist yet :slight_smile:

Glad you like it. It’s probably just me guys :person_facepalming: . I’ll report back after I modded it.

Got mine. It’s decent. After I mod with a high cri LED or three, regrease the ring, swap clips and add trits, it will be great!

Seems like a lot of work but this UI is rare and nice.

Ok. Went to the shed to give it a go. Regreasing with thick grease improves the feel alot, bit still not like my V11R.

I can confirm that my light has no detents and is different than the lights showed earlier in the thread.

I put in a 3000k sst20 and I am starting to like it better. I’ll EDC it for a few days and will decide if it’s worth the expensive trits upgrade.


How did you open it?

Rubber straps, a vice and pipe wrench. You have to turn the black part between the bezel and the ring counter clockwise and hold the brass pill.

Geuzz, it looks like the centerpiece is twisted 45 degrees and does not sit around the led but on top of it?

If this RRT works on 18350 , I have some Fenix 16340 700mAh and Duracell Lithium 123.
….would these be a good fit too or would it just be 18350?.

Both should work. Might rattle. Lower output with cr123, but should work.

I noticed that to, the led protector, centering washer needs twisted a bit like djozz says.

@djozz Nice trit candy, doesn’t have a tail switch so no lighted switch. The trit adds a custom look. :+1:

@geuzz “The grease helped the feel of the control ring” are you using the friction grease that’s used in the V11R. I may try adding some to mine if it helps, mine has the detents. Looks like jetbeam may have listened to suggestions in this thread if there no more detents. Even though that seems awful quick to make a change in production from when it was brought to jetbeams attention here.

Mine had very little grease in it upon opening it up. I think the RRT01 was designed so that the small roller bearing with spring creates the resistance while turning the ring. The grease is just there to lubricate the roller bearing. The V11R has very little resistance without the friction grease. If you get the amount of friction grease just right, the V11R is way smoother. But the RRT01 is by no means rough. They are both pretty smooth but the V11R would win in this category. The one handed no flip to off is the best feature of the RRT01, just turn the ring to the far left and it’s off.
If I had to choose, I prefer my V11R that I bored to except 18350 with a 90cri 4000k LH351D and a loneoceans lighted battery indicator switch using the factory Sunwayman forward momentary switch with my current mod, this is a heavily modded light though. If I was choosing between both factory lights, I would choose the RRT01 for the simpler operation. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages. Both are great simple UI lights.

I do have the old style RRT01 on the way, jon_slider liked his so much I had to try the old style too and I’m pretty fond of the new style. If anyone needs a measurement or something feel free too ask and I’ll check when it gets here. I’ll probably mod it shortly after I get it.

might I ask how it is that you have one of the old style on the way? Few and far between I think?

I emailed them and ask if they would ship to the USA. Tom said they do it all the time and that would be no problem. I couldn’t order from the site because my country didn’t have a shipping option, so I created a account and emailed them.
Tracking say’s it’s all ready landed in New York, 3 days from when I ordered. From the emails we had, seemed like a pretty good bloke. :smiley:

thank you, I’d forgotten I’d seen that … or maybe the $ kept me away. He has some ‘other’ amazing lights on his site.

I noticed this too. The centering has a square cutout on the bottom, the same size as the ledhole but not all the way thru and 45 degrees rotated. The led sits in this pocket now.

I use thick yetzl silicone grease from fasttech. It’s too thick for normal thread lubricating, but perfect for this. I have it in my V11R also and it holds up very well.

I agree it’s very quick if they removed the detents because of our comments here, maybe they had the same conclusion after producing the first batch.

Price is even better on Fasttech : 55.67$

thanks.

….anyone know how many O rings there are on RRT 01, and size please?.
thank you.

Clemence, didn’t understand the title quoting :expressionless:
Is that any suggestion to change the title?
