lol, me too brother
the info IS in the first post, but why rub it in?
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 āfatterā to me, which is why I was confused
the old one is on the bottom
the new one is 1/8ā larger diameter, and 26 grams heavier
Like the tail trit slots on the new one
I like the tail design too!
Humanized Tail maybe = HumanCentricDesigned Tail: use as a
Candle,
Lantern,
Nightlight,
Locator
Impress your Friends!
I wish I could buy the light with trits already installed!
(Im sure thats a logistical nightmare for the vendorā¦ lol)
I ordered 3 of these during new year sale. https://www.fasttech.com/p/4159008
Iām just hoping they fit from the measurements I took.
Those slots are 12 mm long? I was think'n they were for the std 1.5x6 mm size, but from the pics, they have to be longer than 6 certainly, so probably the 12 mm size you ordered.
The new version looks much sexier to me. Too bad itās likely way out of my budget, even with the group by discount.
The 2x12mm trit slots will not fit the RRT01 without modification, there a little to long. 2x10mm should fit fine.
More info here with pics. WTB: Jetbeam RRT01 ā Any place to buy it?! + [RRT01 2019 discussion] - #261 by moderator007
Would 2.5x10 trits fit?
Not without grinding. Best I can tell the slots are 2.25mm in width. Seems they intended the slots to fit 2x10mm but the 2x12mm is more common at our usual overseaās stores.
Iām interested.
Deal is alive - i mailed every email in the list
Interested. But may depend on the priceā¦
Ordered, Thanks Martin
Can you confirm the bezel isnāt glued on the new version?
The bezel is not glued. Came off easily. The part of the head above the ring has a touch of loctite or something on it but, it was still pretty easy to get off. I just wrapped some tape around it and used some channel locks and it twisted right off. You can swap the emitter by just removing the bezel but, you gain some extra working room if you get that part above the ring off.
Does anyone know what the standby current is on the new RRT-01? I heard the previous version drains a full 16340 cell in 2 months.
Hmm, the seller says āpre-order, shipping starts march 15ā, and on top of that the site does not like the code: ācan not used anymore todayā.
So for me at least the deal is not very alive.
