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

I have not opened a 2020, but Ive done a couple 2019, and I think they are the same design.

The 2019 model does not require removing the driver.

I dont have photos of your exact model, but I think you will get the idea from these:

2019 uses the Sunwayman design,
not the 2012 RRT-01 design

the control ring halves on the 2019 can be unscrewed without removing the mcpcb, driver, bezel, lens, reflector…

here are some tools I used to open a sunwayman

on this sunwayman you can see the control ring upside down after being simply lifted off the bottom half of the assembly, and in its normal position showing its magnets

I like Nyogel 767a:

(thats a 2012 RRT-01)

I agree with moderator007 that besides the interior areas of lubrication, that it is possible to improve feel with a small amount of thinner lube on the face he described polishing, that makes contact with the magnet side of the control ring.

Thanks, everyone.

I’ll borrow jon-slider’s pick :smiley: .

Those two surface need to be free from glue and decently smooth with some lube of your choice added.
Since this gap between the head and ring isn’t sealed that’s usually where you will find most of your pocket lint and dust.

That’s a good detailed decsription of the tear down. :+1:

Any chance anyone would be willing to trade a set of the extension tubes for putting a 219b sw45k in my 2020 model? Or if that’s not a fair deal, let me know what would be :slight_smile:

good idea :+1:
if you dont get a trade offer,
another option is to ask skylumen.com

What is the parasitic drain of the 2020 RRT-01 when the switch is ON and the dial is turned to minimum?

and
what is the parasitic drain of the 2019 model when the dial is turned to minimum … :slight_smile:

2019 was lower 40uA iirc. Off :person_facepalming:

12mA.

2020: 3mA (assuming I am doing this correctly, dont take my word for it)

I would want this clipped to my belt with the clip included. Can anyone tell me if the ring will turn by rubbing at my jeans? (when set at high or off)? How stiff are the detents at “off” and “high”?
The last thing I want would be a light that I have to fondle with every time I use it because the ring is set at whatever. Same goes true for carrying it in my pockets.

For the 2019 version the detents are probably stiff enough that wont happen often and if it did it would take a pretty decent turn to come on with enough brightness to really drain your battery

For the 2020 the detents are almost non-existent BUT it has a very recessed and firm forward switch so it’s not really an issue.

thanks
trust but verify

word on the street is
the 2012 has a drain of 55uA (selbuilt)
the 2019 has a drain of 27uA (djozz)
the 2020 switched on, dial at minimum has a drain of:

.

you might not want a rotary light then

I fondle my dial all the time. That is what I love about it.

If you want the dial to be guaranteed to stay where you left it the last time you used it, plan on upgrading the grease in the dial to Nyogel 767a

with that being said, Ive never had a rotary dial turn in my pocket… but I would hate for you to be disappointed…

Gosh don’t quote me I can barely use a multimeter. It doesnt really make sense why it would increase so who knows, I am probably wrong.

The “lower 40uA” is for off, the 12mA for on, but at minimum. I was completely confused by the term “switched on” regarding the 2020 model. Ok?

Found a different meter and could repeat the measurement: Off is 26uA.

I haven’t had a problem with any of the rotary’s turning on accidently but I guess with the right force its possible.
If you dont like the thought of a possible accidently activation then Sunwayman rotary’s might be your cup of tea. They only come on if the tail switch is pushed and the dial stays where ever it was when you turned it off by pressing the switch button. They are hard to find now a days but a used one pops up ever now and then. I think the V11R is still around for sale in a few places. The V10R Ti is quite nice but rare.

The 2020 Jetbeam RRT01 also has a tail switch, just like the Sunwayman V10R and V11R.

Anyone else dislikes the silly post with hole for keyring at the tail end of the 2012 RRT01 and the TC-R1?

Wouldn't it be so much nicer if it had a flat wail with some trit slots?

Its my least favorite part. It supposedely unscrews but I haven’t been able to break one free yet.
I know I can get it out but it would require shall we say “Unconventional methods”. :smiling_imp:
.

I had forgot about the new one. That be a option also.

Yes. Or a tail like the sunwayman M11R Ti Dream. Or the custom machined tail by Jeff Hanko.

I did know that existed. Does anyone have a photo?

Time to drool

I have several of these - you can still manage to use trits like this
or on the EYE 10
