[alive: M4D deal] jetbeam RRT1 950 Lumen

[Geuzzz]

Interested depending on price.

[CoolJB]

Interested. Thanks!

[Bruno28]

i ordered one form HKE last week! Oh should have waited

But if price is good and the light is nice, might order one more.

[SKV89]

Interested. I love rotating ring variable brightness control. I just wish it had USB charging. Not a single magnetic ring brightness control with usb charge in existence.

true, but, the 16340 battery included in the new RRT-01 has USB charging built into the battery

the Olight Universal charger works well, for charging the 18350 battery I use in my RRT-01

it turns any light and any battery (both LiIon and Eneloop), into a USB light, or battery
that means I can charge both my RRT-01 and my Maratac, with the Olight charger…

.

choices are good:

if the charger is in the light, it means I cant use the light, so I prefer an option that lets me keep using the light by just changing cells and charging outside the light

Interested

Hy cant you use it if usb was built in to the light? I feel with usb built in will make this a perfect light for muggles

[jon_slider]

you might be right about the muggles, if the light has the charger built in, they cant Lose the charger

what I meant was
while the light is plugged into USB, I cannot put it in my pocket and take it with me

make sense?

I prefer not to tie up the light, to make it do the job of a charger, but that probably is not how a muggle thinks

in any case, the RRT-01 does not have USB in the light, but for a muggle, it does have USB in the battery…

muggle wins,
I win,
Jetbeam wins (no extra USB waterproofing to add to the light itself)

I have Sunwayman V11R and Jetbeam RRT01 purchased in 2013.
.
JETBEAM RRT01 made in 2019 can’t be missed.
If the price allows

[djozz]

This flashlight should not be for muggles

so this doesn’t have a tail switch like the V11R? You have to mess with the ring every time you want to turn it on?

If you dont ise the usb charge feature, it is basically a regular light. Just replace batteries when you need to. Simple as that. Dont see how the usb cable can hold anybody back.

Yelp, turn the control ring to the right about 1/32 of a turn and it comes on in moonlight, the more you turn the brighter it gets.
The cool thing about the RRT01 is that with only one hand you can turn it off and on and adjust brightness without every having to flip it around to hit the switch like the V11R. Hold the light in the normal down range position and its controlled completely at your finger tips.

Correct. Just the control ring. It’s faster than the button+ring combo of the V11R and doesn’t require you to change your handhold.

[contactcr]

I guess I dont see the appeal. Isn’t this exactly what an e-switch light does? one handed operation with dimming but without option of memory?

I got the V11R and it’s cool because it does something no other light does (dimming + mode changing while “off”). You can also “set it and forget it” if you wish.

Despite the subsequent replies, I firmly believe there’s no answer to that, not a family friendly answer anyway :smiling_imp:

That’s the difference between these two control ring lights.
V11R has to be flipped or hand hold changed to hit the switch but remains at what ever level the control ring is set to.
RRT01 doesn’t require anything but the turn of the ring for on and off but always starts in moonlight, no memory so to speak.

Each design has its own advantages. V11R on/off is tail switch controlled, so your hand will be in a specific orientation. You then have to change it to adjust intensity (or use your other hand). But then you have on/off control with a fixed output. RRT-01 has only one control, so you’re always holding it in one orientation for on/off and intensity. If you’re used to having a sequential set of fixed brightness levels, it’s a very different feel. Some people may simply not like it.

I prefer the RRT-01, KISS!

for those who dont like KISS, there is also the HDS Rotary…
has a tailswitch, and a Rotary dial at the tail (flipping optional, I do),
its regulated, has memory, and can be programmed for fixed brightness levels too…
for people that can live without a deep carry pocket clip,
and get turned on by reading manuals about multi-clicking

Anyone know what emitter is being used in this?
