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

Yes, with glass lens.

lovely :wink:

those pebble tir make for nice evenly lit photos

on left is a pebble tir in a Tool (thanks to contactcr), middle is Tool w stock reflector, right is a pebble tir from clemence

you can see in the middle photo, that a hotspot creates a poor image due to some parts being brighter than others, and this alters the colors

Original RRT-01 driver, reflector, and pocket clip supplies available.

I learned thanks to moderator007 that the driver in the 2019 RRT-01 also fits the Original RRT-01, and the TCR-1. He also found 2 reflectors that are drop in replacements for the Original RRT-01 and NiteEye10, to improve the beam.

1. Eye10 driver has strobe
2. The 2019 RRT-01 uses the Eye10 driver.
3. Eye10 driver can be purchased individually from info (at) jetbeamlight.com
4. Eye10 driver fits in the TCR-1 and Original RRT-01
5. Upgraded eflectors to fit Original RRT-01, and the Eye10 and TCR-1, are available from Kaidomain, more info here: WTB: Jetbeam RRT01 – Any place to buy it?! + [RRT01 2019 discussion] - #487 by moderator007
6. Short pocket clips are available from jetbeam also, thanks to toddcshoe for the info. The short clips fit both the Original and 2019 RRT-01, as well as the TCR-1 and NiteEye Eye10.

Comparing reflector options for an Original RRT-01 w sw45 led mod.
Thanks to moderator007 for discovering the kaidomain reflectors:

kaidomain 23424:
best pick imo, the hotspot is nice and even, and no dark ring in the spill

kaidomain 21514:
very tight beam, slight shadow ring in the spill, the center has a small extra hot area that I dislike (it looks like a hole in the middle of the hotspot):

stock Original RRT-01 reflector:
not recommended, has a dark ring in the spill, plus other rings around the corona, and at close range there is a dark cross in the middle of the hotspot

The kaidomain reflectors are taller than the stock one. The kaidomain reflectors have a flange to prevent the reflector from pressing on the mcpcb, and prevent the use of a centering ring:

All of mine are using a thinner mcpcb than factory with a plastic centering ring and tighten down on the centering ring mcpcb fine and have no fitment problem at all.
Maybe the thinner mcpcb is the key to these working correctly.
I preferred the KD 23424 also, they look identical but the beam seems better with the 23424. Good to hear they look good with a sw45k.

both KD reflectors produce better beams than the setup w the stock reflector
but the KD reflectors dont let the bezel close down as far, the O ring is exposed, without using any centering ring:

if I add a thin round centering ring then the gap at the O ring gets bigger

when my RRT-01 was modded to sw45, I dont know what mcpcb thickness was used
The beam has at least 3 obvious rings in the spill. Maybe because the LED sits lower than stock.

I much prefer the beam from the KD reflectors,
thanks for doing all the legwork to find them, and then sharing the info…

Many thanks to jon and modderator for all the info you put here. Much apreciated!
I have ordered bunch of reflectors and due to work i was not home for last few months but your info will help me solve the mess i have created at my tiny “shop”.
EDIT: i still need to post my homemade triple conversion… hopefully in August when i reach my doorstep

isn’t clemence at Virence making these ?.
wouldn’t mind a custom built one HCRI Optisolis

Spoke to clemence and shared some thoughts about it. He is trying to finish some protos of his MCPCB for RRT. But he’s busy as hell so it will take some time plus suplier messed up delivery of some boards if i understood him correctly…
But lack of time is the main reason

Is there any feasible way to trim down the Kai Domain reflector just enough so that it fits properly in an original RRT-01?

I think grinding/sanding the trim on top of the reflector could allow reflector to drop a bit onto the MCPCB

fwiw, my single sw45 Original RRT-01 is using a NOTstock board plus liquid tape.

I actually have not tried the KD reflectors in an UNmodified stock RRT-01.

It is also possible that the exposed Oring in my modded RRT-01 is caused by the height of the mcpcb, instead of being caused, as I suggested, by the lip around the KD reflector.

someone else needs to provide a photo of their reflector mod, and whether their O ring is exposed.

meanwhile, here is a red GID mod to a triple sw35 modded Jetbeam Eye10 from pinkpanda:

GID inserts are available from CRX:

imo the red is a waste of time, it is super dim, and only lasts a few seconds after being charged by light.

does an AA adapter from sunwayman fit the Original RRT-01?:slight_smile:

also just to consolidate
18650 tube options for the Original RRT-01:

This pic just never seemed right to me some how.

.
So I looked at mine with the KD reflector and shaved LH351D installed.
.

.
Mine covers the o-ring completely and the space that’s left is visible and that’s were you have your o-ring installed.
.

This is with the bezel unscrewed to show where the o-ring goes.
I think you got your o-ring installed in the wrong place jon_slider. Might explain why your having problems with the KD reflector swap and exposed o-ring.

.
Completely factory RRT-01 in the front, KD swap reflector in the back.

thank you Sir!
I agree, that is not where the O ring belongs

I need a tighter O ring, that is not being pushed by the bottom of the bezel
when that light gets back from passaround

on left is a stock Eye10 mcpcb and LED w a kaidomain reflector swap, on right I confirm an RRT-01 with Oring under the bezel

and the height difference of the kaidomain reflector

That .5mm saved by the smaller 1.5mm thick copper mcpcb would come in very handy in helping with that difference. :wink:
I checked last night 5 different jetbeam original mcpcb’s, some copper, some aluminum. All of mine measured right at 2.04mm in thickness measured with accurate Mitutoyo calipers. The 12mm copper mcpcb’s I recommended measured 1.5mm in thickness.

thanks for the refence shot w stock thickness mcpcb

and that makes sense,
the thinner mcpcb will narrow the gap

Apparently there were some changes to the threads, I have an old RRT-01 and I have two Astrolux S41S and one S41 and none of the battery tubes fits the thread of the RRT-01, unfortunately :frowning:

I tried the V10R ti extender with no luck. I have the V11R aluminum extender but I just don’t know where it is at the moment. :person_facepalming:
I think both extenders have the same threads though.
