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.
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.
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.
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
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?
