Jetbeam compared to HDS, some differences
The Jetbeam Rotaries have much lower low than HDS.
The Jetbeam RRT-01 rotary has smooth ramping, not 24 hops up in brightness like HDS, of which 12 are below 2 lumens and only 2 are above 100 lumens.
The Jetbeam rotary has a bezel down pocket clip that does not interfere w the rotary dial.
The Jetbeam rotary is smaller, lighter, and lower priced than HDS, and accepts 18350, that HDS will not.
The Jetbeam rotary has no tailswitch, and the dial is not on the tail.
The size, weight, price, ergonomics and UI of the Jetbeam are better for me than HDS.
