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

@contactcr

Probably why they never responded to me since I specifically said old inventory. Thanks for taking one for the team

Seems that they may have finally pulled the old listing. I did an open search on the Jetbeam RRT-01 and the old one never came up. When I followed the earlier link jon_slider provided ABOVE, it said “currently unavailable.”

I wish the original wasn’t so pricey relative to what the FW3A is going for these days. I’m glad I have an original RRT-01, but not likely to get another… except as used from someone down the road, at a decent price. Or, might go for a triple once I’ve got my light budget back up.

Still no more info on the new RRT0?

Is the low really 1 lumen or is that a mistake?

[hodor]

Unfortunately I think it’s correct. Wish it was 0.1

good question, I do not know anyone that has tested the 2020 model yet

the 219 RRT-01 description also says 1 lumen, but it actually fades down to less than 0.01…

also waiting for confirmation from buyers who own both, that the 2020 AA and 18650 adapters, do not fit the 2019 RRT-01.

The 2020 RRT-01 is the only presently available Rotary, capable of using AA.

[hodor]

I was going based off the box but Liquidretro tested the 2019 version and also said it had sublemen levels even though the box says 1 lumen.

Unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t look like this is AA compatible. Was there something that used to say it was?

my mistake
it is 18500, not 14500, and youre correct, not AA compatible

thank you for helping me be accurate

Couldn’t you still use 14500 with an adapter though? I think one of the pics show a 14500 battery.

aha!
yes it does

@id30209

I retract my earlier retraction… lol

I wonder who will be first to post a review?

Bummer that there’s no trit slots any longer. :person_facepalming: Unless… are those “slots” along that rear switch guard similar to the NovaTac Peu trit slotted bezel where size is compatible with an available trit vial size?

[asdqqq]

Could that hole in the control ring be a trit slot?

[Geuzzz]

Biggest question for me is, does this one has LVP?

[contactcr]

Looks like Neal got some of the new ones including a gross factory triple with aux LEDs (rrt03) and strobes. Doesn’t have variable control ring it seems so definitely do not buy that one.

While yes, if it takes 18500 it can definitely take 14500, not sure why you’d want to throw a sleeve on it. The flashlight isn’t getting any skinnier…

Edit- i should’ve read on snd seen all of this extensive discussion on the very same topic! But here’s what i was about to say:

Neal at neals gadgets just got newest rrt01 in stock snd started shipping this week.

New model has nichia emitter option, tail switch snd has battery tube extensions available that accommodate 18500 snd 650!

Id been looking, hopefully they’ll be as good as the previous models.

It might qualify for new item discount on his site…no affiliation

Im not a 14500 advocate…

AA power is just an interesting option for gifting to an imaginary muggle, or granny

If confirmed, the 2020 RRT-01 will be the only presently available rotary capable of working w AA

for reference, a Sunwayman V11r or V10a on AA makes about 90 lumens with a 4500k 219b
… AA wont win any throw, nor output contests, but is perfectly adequate at indoor distances. and for those imaginary post nuclear prepper scenarios :person_facepalming:
