[alive: M4D deal] jetbeam RRT1 950 Lumen

This flashlight should not be for muggles :neutral_face:

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.

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?

YES :wink:

Stupid me, I should have checked battery junction before asking. :person_facepalming:

there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers… LOL

happy to share info… I specialize in reading technical manuals and transferring key info to people with more productive things to do with their time :slight_smile:

now, please share the motivation behind your question… why you asked…

inquiring minds wonder… what do you plan to use the information for?

Interested!

Haha, I was being more sarcastic than anything. Who would have thought to look at Battery Junction when the info should have been in the OP? If it turns out to be an xpg3, I won’t order it. Isn’t that the old version at BJ and in the OP?

lol, me too brother

the info IS in the first post, but why rub it in?:wink:

and fwiw, no, both BJ and the OP are showing the new version
here is a visual aide

I signed up. Always liked these lights since I did an early mod on the original several years back, think updating an XML to an XM-L2.

I saw that post. The old one looks “fatter” to me, which is why I was confused

the old one is on the bottom

the new one is 1/8” larger diameter, and 26 grams heavier
