WTB: Jetbeam RRT01 – Any place to buy it?! + [RRT01 2019 discussion]

Can you sell some of those pink panda?

Also interested

Sorry guys. That was a part of a run i did but won’t be doing again - Rolling wave of High CRI Triple or single N219b, or stock Jetbeam RRT-01 Rotaries

I heard on the grape vine that one is for sale but that is all i know.

I suggested to the seller that he post his offer for adoption, to the RRT-01 Triple LED group buy thread that pinkpanda links to above. Im available to answer questions and to share info about glow gasket and control ring packing upgrades…

since I put some nyogel 767a into the control ring of my pandamod triple sw45 Original RRT-01, it has been dialing buttery smooth… its a joy to use

theres a bit more to it… nothing is “just” a simple repack… a repack moves the light into a whole new quality level of ring feel… think, buttery smooth, like a nikon lens…

details like including working in extra lube around the edges of the ring, and spending quality time fidgeting with the ring… etc… will burnish the contact areas to eliminate gritty spots and create a deliciously smooth, one finger dialing experience. Don’t forget the locktite

fwiw, this thread
Time to Mod the Jetbeam RRT-01

has a list of most of the parts used to mod the Original RRT-01 into a High CRI Nichia configuration. Also, as a reference, It also links to the spacer dimensions for a Triple LED mod here… I hope it helps people mod the Original RRT-01 host with some nice LEDs, beams, and dials. Rumor has it the RRT-01 is makes a great Dad Light… iow, very muggle friendly…lol

equal time
the New 2019 RRT-01 also is being built as a triple, scroll back a page to see a nice one…

for those who dont mod, I think Vinh will do a triple if you ask also… here are videos of his mods

@wynand
I want to thank you for sharing that lead

thanks to your information I have done two group buys and purchased a total of 30 NOS Original RRT-01 light. They are being redistributed through BLF membership internationally, including Singapore, Germany, Holland, Croatia, Great Brittain, Australia, and USA

You can blame me for being the head instigator, but I stand on the shoulders of giants that have contributed skill, research and info about modding parts and supplies. Two of the standouts are pinkpanda and moderator007, to whom I remain eternally grateful for your sharing information, support and encouragement.

Others I credit, with respect, for helping me appreciate the unique benefits of the magnetic rotary UI, include Archibald Tuttle, Tip and Ring, and Fireclaw18

I also want to thank MascaratumB for starting this thread, whithout which I would not have been led to purchasing my first Original RRT-01, thanks to a kind BLF member classified.

there are many more people I could name, most of them are in this thread, that have been kind and helped me with support and encouragement, and some even sent me money… lol

thank you all for the community effort to bring more Rotary lights into circulation

about brass
what cools better,
copper star to aluminium pill, to titanium body (tcr-1)
or
copper star to brass pill, to aluminium body? (2019 RRT-01)

about lvp
I just tested 2019 RRT-01 driver w triple sw45:
I used depleted cr123 for the low voltage tests

440 lumens @ 3.8v 18350

380 lumens @ 4.0v 16340, I also get 380 w single sw30

170 lumens @ 2.8v CR123

15 lumens @ 2.6v CR123

there was no LVP,
the light just steps down to whatever it can do at any given voltage
but there is plenty of visual warning, by dimming and brightness step downs of the light.
more and more of the dial on the high end of the scale becomes non responsive, and creates no change in brightness

by the time the voltage is below 3 volts, the light is half as bright as on a full charge. I notice that.

a less experienced muggle, would notice the light when its only putting out 15 lumens, and that would not be below 2.5v…

so, for an operator who literally is not asleep, the dimming is obvious, before the battery is in serious overdischarge voltage, below 2.5v

I did not see the flashies you found at 3.0v, just step downs

but I liked learning that the light is going to have to get ridiculously dim, before Im in overdischarge territory… cause I like to use 18350 and only unprotected fit the Original RRT-01

If somebody wants to have 18650 original RRT01 with the matching body then there is a cure for that. See HERE.

One EU store still has few Niteye Eye15 in stock... PM me if you want more info.

Hum…isn’t that a “too” old thread?

[/quote]Hum...isn't that a "too" old thread? [/quote]

I won't think of it as an old since recent groupbuy for RRT01 is still in motion and some folks was wondering about battery options.

Old by meaning of timestamp yes but when modding is questionable than there's no such thing as old.

Sure , I was jus referring to the time it was created and with no further replies :wink:
With be old batches being sold currently, jon_slider courtesy, I figured there would be some other stuff related to these lights around !

I would only be interested in an extender to use it with 18650s (like these: Sold: Jetbeam RRT-01 18650 extender tube) , not a whole tube. I actually managed to use it with a Convoy or Sofirn tube, but it isn’t water/dust proof :zipper_mouth_face:

Sweeeeet!
Totally missed that thread.

What’s funny is that Niteye15 in EU cost almost like the these extension tubes LOOOOL
And titanium clip is included :slight_smile:

UPDATE: the store that had Niteye 15 sold all of it, was lucky to score 1

I need some help. Don’t have my2019 RRT01 with me and i’m about to order some stuff from KD but i left the notes with ’19 RRT reflector size.

If someone can take meassurement of new rrt reflector that would be great.
Wanna get OP for my other mod.
If it’s posted above please excuse my lazyness.

I have not seen any posts about reflectors for the 2019 model

only the Original RRT-01 has Kaidomain reflector options, because moderator007 bought several to test and shared the info

The reflectors for the Original do not fit the 2019 model

so… if you feel your 2019 reflector is not adequate, you will need to buy a few to test, and report back on which one works for you

if you want to mod your Original RRT-01 reflector, the kaidomain part numbers, as well as a centering ring that fits are here:

Thx John!
Already booked original KD replacement reflectors but i want to try few options for 2019 rrt.

Only i need size of the stock so i can go for possible options on KD

It was about time to post my poormans 2019 RRT triple mod.
Since i’m not a man of photos i only have 3 of them but you’ll get the idea

First, open and disassemble the head as already posted many times. Remove the driver and MCPCB.
I have used replacement driver from Jetbeam which has longer led wires so instead of soldering extra length needed for triple build, i had to cut them.
Open first beer and start filing 3UP MCPCB…
Since i didn’t meassure anything i had file and check physicaly fitment in the bottom of upper part of the head (see photo)
After 3rd beer MCPCB with emitters was ready for thermal adhesive (glue) and to be installed in the head. I have Phoby2, 2-component epoxy.


Next day i’ve stuffed the original led board opening in brass portion of the head with thermal pads which can be found in KD store (don’t have a link now)
Now Carclo 10507 was about to be filed which i did, again few beers helped me and at last i had a correct size for installatio.
Please note that neither MCPCB nor Carclo were perfect round circle due to hand tools!

Once you tighten the head back on the brass section, the only thing that’s left is soldering led wires, installation of Carclo, original lens oring and lens (with the bezel ring).
And that’s it.it can be done in few hours (1-2h) but alcohol and wife were crucial factirs not to.
Thermal pads are transfering heat from MCPCB to the bezel since i didn’t have heatsink at that time. MCPCB in this build seats high above brass section, in the bezel.

I have to add that one member shortly after sent me machined alu piece according dimensions of the section where stock led board seats and is to be installed when bezel and barss are connected. And of course i didn’t took a picture and i just realized i don’t have optics photo…damn it.

I believe most of you are familiar with the tasks required to be done once you see pics but if any info is needed, just shoot.

Oh yeah, if someone can post dimensions of stock 2019 RRT01 reflector that would be great.

Where can I get an aluminum spacer?!

My RRT01 original from recent GB, moded and legoed

Nice 18650 Lego :slight_smile:

Are there any replacement LED boards available? Reflowing the LED is beyond anything I could accomplish.

Very nice lego indeed. :+1:

not sure I understand your question, but I think the answer is no

does post 568 answer your question?

and are you asking about the 2019 RRT-01 or the Original RRT-01 from 2012?
and what kind of LED replacement are you looking for?

If I understand the question correctly, any led in 5x5mm (xml, xhp50) size or smaller 3.5x3.5mm (xpg,xpl,219c,219b) at around 3v forward voltage mounted on a 16mm mcpcb could be filled down to fit.
A copper mcpcb would be better. Finding one just depends on which led your looking to replace it with.
KD sells a few on 16mm copper mcpcb’s. http://kaidomain.com/Flashlight
The 10mm might even work with out doing anything but soldering the wires on.
