Nice to see that Jetbeam is updating a Classic light1
I like the look of the new version of the RRT-01. And twice the output of the original. 
Fellow RRT-01 fans, I suggest you contact and encourage Clemence to develop some RRT-01 with High CRI LED.
Im asking him for a 3500k Optisolis because of the negative duv and because I want a floody indoor, and close range option with High CRI and High R9. see:
I already have enough lights with hotspots, I want one with NoHotspot also.
Clemence is presently doing a run of Jetbeam AAA lights with E21A and Optisolis LEDs, and is already interested in the RRT-01 because he appreciates the Rotary interface.
fwiw the Optisolis Require diffusion lenses to blend the beam. The E21a work with conventional reflectors that produce a hotspot (for throw outdoors)
see here for more info on his present Jetbeam offerings
The new RRT-01 is now on ebay
the ad seems to be a clone of the RRT-0 info
I do not trust it is accurate, particularly in regard to weight
time will tell
Im in touch with Clemence, and plan to have him mod the LED on one for me… after Chinese New Year
will share what I learn
todays enlightenment
RRT stands for RapidResponseTactical… I did not know that… it made me Laugh, but, whatever…
One sold on the Ebay site, would that be you? Was an offer made, curious?
no
I have not ordered one from Ebay
I am waiting for Clemence to receive one and modify it.
Im carrying one of the previous version with LED modded to N219b 4500k 9080
currently waiting for a modified HDS with N219b 3500k 9080, so I can finalize my decision on what LED I want Clemence to install in one of the new RRT-01
my strategy is to own the RRT-01 with 4500k with conventional hotspot for EDC
plus
add one with a warmer LED and floody beam with no hotspot
by waiting for Clemence to do some research and development, I avoid the need to ship a light to him from California. Instead he can receive a light at his Bali location, from Asia, then modify it and ship to me in California.
sounds great jon. I would like the warm one with a floody beam and no hotspot as well. Great to have someone ‘in the know’ in your pocket 
When you try and sell something on Ebay, Ebay will find the same product already for sale on their site and try and use those specs so you don’t have to type them out. The RRT01 already being in production for years and many of them being sold it looks like Ebay just pasted that info for them. If you scroll down on that listing a bit the full updated specs are there. It is being sold by HKEquipement. Very reputable and very nice to deal with.
Thanks Todd
I agree
Ebay allows sellers to use previous listings as templates, which is what it seems HK did, they cloned an RRT-0 listing, and then added the RRT-01 info
the same info that batteryjunction is using… which says the new RRT-01 weighs 75 grams empty,
Im hoping this is wrong, cause my RRT-01 weighs 74 grams with a 1200mAh 18350 inside.
time will tell, once confirms the weight of the new RRT-01
thanks for sharing your confidence in the vendor HK
I note the ebay item is supposedly located in Washington USA
even though HK is in Hong Kong
I highly doubt flashlight sellers are busting open packages and weighing lights. I assume they take specs from the manufacturer. Which would explain where both HK and BatteryJunction get their information. I imagine the best place to find out that exact information would be the manufacturer themselves. Even then I doubt they could tell you exactly. Guess you might be able to talk a seller into opening up one to find out. Never thought or had a reason to do that but, it might work.
yes, we think alike
that is my point, whatever accuracy the promotional literature does or does not have, is what the vendors are reposting
I often find errors in listing specs, so I take them with salt
Im hoping someone will confirm the weight from an actual sample… before I buy
fwiw, Clemence tried to contact Jetbeam, and they are on New Year Holliday, so he cant get the light, from Jetbeam, yet.
Yeah, not very helpful where weight may be critical. It’s probably some teenager in packaging that has a 50 gram weight in one hand and a flashlight in the other and just kind of guesstimates. 
lol… Im just hoping the typo is that its not empty, but rather, with battery inside… the new listing shows a micro USB battery, I suspect it is included in the sale package
not sure, but the tail seems to have changed… maybe those are trit slots
Yup, those are trit slots! 
Thanks jon slider for pointing out Clemence’s website. I have subscribed and am hoping this light comes to fruition w ultra high cri LEDs.
cool,
btw I just figured out your handle… clever
I kept reading nobone shot dog and could not understand why the dog got shot… LOL
Clemence is working on some AAA Jetbeams and tells me he really likes the idea of researching the RRT-01 after that…
I have huge respect for his work and LEDs… seems like a cant lose proposition… unless he finds the light unsuitable or not up to his standards
Im very hopeful we are about to witness the birth of a whole new generation of High CRI Rotaries!
and, credit to @MascaratumB for leading me to the RRT-01 I have in my pocket, as well as for making me aware of the new version… this is all his fault!
I think Karma rewarded him with one like this:
now about 18350 cells:
Recently I started using an unprotected 1200 mAh IMR from illumn
Im enjoying the extra capacity, and am checking the voltage on my meter, and keeping an eye out for any dimming to alert me to recharge
btw
I also have an unprotected 750mAh IMR from illumn, and it does not work in the RRT-01, the button top is too wide. do not buy the 3rd cell from the left. The first two on left are protected 16340 I have been using. Far right is my new Unprotected IMR…
I note on page 1, that CRX mantions he modded an 18350 to add protection to an IMR cell.
I see now that protected 1200mAh 18350 are available. I plan to try one.
here is a review of the protected 1200mAh IMR. It is 5mm longer, but Im pretty sure its going to fit in the RRT-01… stay tuned to next weeks installment of…
Whats it got in its pocketses?
Thanks Jon, and I added a sig line to my posts. I got it from an old timer that I used to work with.
Neat, a new RRT01. I’ve enjoyed my old one. I got a particularly good 5000K tint, pure white or maybe just a tiny bit below the BBL, with even tint across the beam. It can do anything from 0.000001 lm to about 700 lm, with immediate access to the whole range thanks to the analog ring.
I have a V11R also, but it’s bigger and I don’t like having to flip the light around to switch between the button and the ring. Also, mine is cool white.
The RRT01 is one of the nicer lights I’ve used. The main issue I had with it is that it has no LVP and no battery check function, so I could never tell if my battery was nearly full or nearly empty. I had to use protected cells to avoid cell damage, which meant a ~650 mAh 16340 instead of a ~1150 mAh 18350, and with the variable output and lack of voltage indication, I never had any idea how much runtime to expect.
Aside from that though, very nice light, and I used it as an EDC for quite a while. I wonder if the new version adds LVP or battcheck.
Hhmm. Guess the question mark is that I don't see it yet on the Jetbeam website. Now Niteye and Jetbeam are one in the same, and don't see it there either.
So, is it truly a legit new offering from JETBeam?
here for sale: https://www.hkequipment.net/product-p/rrt01.htm
http://www.jetbeamlight.com/product_t4.html
I do like hkequipment but they still sell Spark lights and that company doesn't seem to exist anymore and I see some new inventory listed of Spark's on the hkequipment website, so, where are those coming from? Wish we knew what really goes on, sometimes... Could be a sub-contract manufacturer is simply running off a new batch of an old light and keeping the branding on them. So many possibilities.
This light is also for sale at battery junction. They are a US based distributor that I have purchased batteries and chargers from in the past with good results.
Ahah, I guess we both can live with that burden on my back 
Happy owners won’t comply 
It surely did and I’m pretty happy with that as well 
I guess CRX is the best person to explain about that mod, I will only be able to provide the “final” version of the battery in comparison with Keeppower and Aspire!
Hum…I don’t know if I would be that sure jon, please note that we don’t know what’s in the interior bottom of the flashlight! It may not have the space to fit a protected Keepower, that are really long!! I take as comparison the Wuben 16340 battery (protected) that is much longer than the normal 16340s, including the Olight 16340 (from S1R Baton 1)
Too much wish to get one of these…and so few money to do that :weary:
