I will have to have a look at the RRT-01. Can it do warm, high CRI, flood? I’m about equally good with 14500, as 16340, even 18350. I just want fairly compact and rechargeable li-ion, not primaries.
The light I lost was clipped to the corner of my pocket. It was found by someone else, later, who realized that it was mine.
Now, with the lanyard, I drop the light into my pocket and never worry about losing it.
Yeah… EagleTac created a masterpiece with the D25 line. I just wish you could get them with warm & high CRI emitters. Mods are possible on at least some of their lights, though.
I also have great appreciation for Olight’s S1A Baton with TIR optic - pop a 3000k XM-L2 under that TIR and the floody beam and warm color are magnificent! Great compact size, too.
The LED is easily accessible (2019 RRT01). I have not even had to disassemle the head completely to get to the MCPCB if memory serves. Not sure if there’s a TIR optics that would fit. The reflector geometry makes a more narrow spill. Best would probably be to stay with a domeless LED, else it might have some artifacts in the beam, but that’s just a guess based on my experiences with other deep smooth reflectors.
I have a Jetbeam Jet I Pro, from about 8 years ago. Great little light, but it’s most definitely a thrower. Deep reflector and tiny XR-E emitter.
Perhaps it could be customized into a floody, warm tint light with an XM-L2, textured reflector, and a TIR?
The bezel is removable, but I don’t know about finding a textured reflector that would fit, or making a TIR fit, somehow. I guess I could ask Vinh to mod it, though.
Thanks Pavlo. I have enough ability to change the LED, what I don’t know anything about is getting different reflectors and/or lenses/TIR and fitting them to the light. I need to get more education on doing those kinds of mods! :sunglasses: I would love to mod my Jet I Pro to be warm and floody, but I don’t think I would be happy just obscuring/frosting the lens itself. I would want to do it right.
I just got a Sofirn SP10S today. Love it! The only EDC light I know of with a Samsung LH351D emitter, 90 cri 5000k. It has a super nice beam quality and on a Ladda cell is pretty bright for an AA. I can’t wait to try it with the 14500 if they ever get here from across the pond…Fit and finish are excellent, plus has AR coated lens. For $18 shipped on Amazon it’s a steal.
The only one I can think of is it comes on in my pocket, but you can lock it out by unscrewing tail cap slightly, or tap the switch 4 times quickly. Otherwise it’s perfect as-is. Waiting for my 14500 for access to 800lm turbo! I tested it alongside my Sunwayman light with the xp-g2 and thre beam is nicer thanks to the high cri.
