Was in doubt to use 219b sw40 9080. But decided to with 3000k sst-20 95cri.
Damn. Now What?..ā¦
Tom E:Yea I checked around too - wut a disasterā¦ Made trit slots for trit sizes that donāt exist.
Over on CPF, one guy posted about using a Dremel and boring out the slot ends just a little to make 12mm work. So Iām assuming the thickness is OK.

for a while, this light was the main news! So many others being offered up now
My RRT-01 is reported shipped by BG
Same!
Still waiting to hear why my BG order was secretly cancelled.

I put up some pics of the trit slots ground out to fit the 2x12mm trit vials a few weeks ago. WTB: Jetbeam RRT01 ā Any place to buy it?! + [RRT01 2019 discussion] - #261 by moderator007
Itās either grind the slots to fit 2x12mm or use smaller trit vial. I never had any luck finding 2x10mm even though they do exist.

Good to know that, thanks. There are 1.2 mm x 5 mm tritium vials available. So you could stack 2 of them in a slotā¦ but will look a bit thin.

JB never mentioned the slots are for trits. Could be just coincidental ornaments

BTW Martin, sent you PM regarding my order which is on hold. BG couldnāt ship it to my address (after 2 weeks processing time waits) and asked me for extra shipping cost without telling me how much the extra would be. Just asked me a yes or no confirmation

PMed you
Mine arrived this morning. I found it stuffed into an old walking boot outside my front door, no note left, and it would have gone through the letterbox. Very odd. It took 10 days to reach me.
Anyway, it looks much nicer than I thought, very bright, lovely rotary switch, beam has a ring but fine. Beautifully made. Itās on a par with my Sunwayman lights.
How fast is the strobe?
Tom E:Like the tail trit slots on the new one
Itās just a disastrous shame they didnāt make them 2 mm x 12 mm. Theyāre slightly smaller than that, so itās hard to find trits that fit. FAIL
definite fail, forces Vinh to the use of a pair of 1.2 x 5mm to fill the slot, and atm mixglo only has green
1.2mm (Dia.) x 5mm (Length) tritium vial, green only
It is disappointing that they almost got it the right size, but not.
jon_slider, can you please post a picture where we can see how the trits glow? I want to see if it looks good with the gap in the middle.
Maybe a bad situation can be turned around with the combination of two colors in one slot.

I also edited the post to give Vinh credit and edited the photo to be a link, click to see Vinhās other pics

I didnāt even realise it had circus modes. Itās nice that they are hidden but easily accessible.I donāt know the strobe frequency but it looks fast, for what thatās worth.
