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

Here is [the same light on eBay](https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-BORUiT-10000Lm-XM-L2-LED-Headlamp-Cycling-Helmlamp-Handfree-Running-Torch/262908200945?epid=697282253&hash=item3d368cc7f1:g:2vAAAOSw~epZh8~y(for) those interested).

Is there a review / thread on this one?

I already have an H03, but am seriously considering just buying one of these to toss in my car for emergencies.

Anyone know how bad parasitic drain is on this guy?

Zero, if you use mechanical lock-out :wink:

I will check current tomorrow.

No need, got one here, no lockout. Well, not without unscrewing the cap completely. :smiley:

Drain’s quite small, though. I’ve got this one and rarely charge it, and it’s always got enough oomf when I need it.

Looks like the only thing it lacks is easily replaceable driver….

Convoy carries them as well as Banggood. I’m in the US, so I get them from MTN Electronics. I took the white part off on my light. You just have to try it both ways. Unscrew the bezel, pop out the reflector, drop in the new optic and reassemble. Careful not to over tighten it.

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.
