Jetbeam Raptor RRT-2

[Beckler]

How come no one seems to talk about this flashlight much:

http://www.jetbeam.com.cn/links/pro/rrt2.aspx

I don't really see any reviews about it or hardly anyone selling it. I guess maybe because it's new, but still... Isn't it approaching the 'ultimate' flashlight for most, including all the pretend-tactical users here? Focusable, multilevel, 18650 compatible, etc. It's like the Optimus (or whatever that Surefire one that will never come out is called) except without the unreasonable price. It's only really missing more light levels (only has 3).

I think it has to ship before we can review it.

You can find out more at marketplace.

CPF is fast delivering info about new flashlights but these doesn't travel at light speed. The raptor 2 was release few days ago, wait about 2 weeks for a decent review to come out.

We are a wierd bunch on CPF arent we?

Certain lights take this place by storm yet others barely make a splash. I really think the market is just over saturated with choices and new designs to the point poeple cant keep up or have just burned out. I know I cant afford to keep up anymore, it is getting worse than computers!!!

There doesnt seem to be anyway to predict what will be a hit anymore. You are right though this light should be the talk of the town. We are now seeing a flood of dial lights which is pretty amazing. One or two will rise to the top for sure.

Eeven though there hasnt been a review of this light yet by one of the trusted reviewers here, there should have been more babble about this light regardless. :thinking:

I'd pick one up in a heartbeat. The only thing stopping me is the lack of a good low mode. 30 lumens is still too high to be considered a low mode.

The light was just released and is not in customers hands yet. We just received our shipment today so stay tuned for reviews in a week or two...and we're not only pretend tactical users, but pretend tactical dealers as well! lol

I,m still waiting for a review of the Raptor RRT1.

It's an amazing looking light isn't it?

JetBeam comes out with a new light pretty often (it seems), and this one looks like the first one in a long time worthy of some Mass attention. I hope JB maintains this design as new emitters come out like Cree's new amazing supposedly 30% brighter, 50% more efficient (do I have that backwards?) led.

I have to get the RRT-1 first :sigh:

I have not posted a review, but at least some beamshoots together with other lights: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/233035

Re: What does the Jetbeam Raptor RRT-2 not exist or something?

I agree--it's one of the most amazing looking lights I've seen. Also agree that 30 lm is a bit high...

Re: What does the Jetbeam Raptor RRT-2 not exist or something?

Lookswise this is superb but the 30 lumen low...

Love the design of the ring selector.

I'll be interested to see how it compares to something like the Eagletac T10LC2. it does seem a little pricey though, considering the Eagletac is both brighter and a fair bit cheaper.

Seriously! I had no idea that this light was even being released anytime soon. I am really surprised there isn't alot of enthusiasm for this and the nitecore sr3. Now jetbeam just needs to step it up before march 2010. If they can get an MC-E, more levels, and possibly the return of IBS selectability in each level they've got my UA2 optimus money locked. Crossing my fingers. Come on jetbeam IBS is the reason I don't carry any surefires except for an a2 n a c2 with gene's M60 MC-E. Gotta bring it back!

Re: What does the Jetbeam Raptor RRT-2 not exist or something?

I have been quietly but eagerly awaiting this as well. If it has a 30 lumen low I will probably pass. I ended up with a md2 with m60 while waiting and comparing it to my jet IIIM the beam is much nicer(though a bit cooler and not as throwy) so if the rrt-2 has a similiar beam to the jet IIIM I will really have no use for it. But, its the best looking flashlight I think I've seen and I may get one anyway.

Hello, I am new to CPF.

I've ordered a RRT-2 from hobbies-store in HK and awaiting it to arrive by the end of the week. I own some Fenix lights and it will be my first Jetbeam. I find it an amazing looking flashlight. But the decisive factor is the ring and the three lightmodes. I think it will be the right light for duty when something between my PD20 and a real thrower is needed as the 30L "low" mode seems to be the right choice for wworking conditions in the field/with patients. The Fenix is the right choice for map reading and other things like that where beams less than 20L are effectual. I work as a paramedic on an ambulance and in a SAR field unit.

I will write a review soon after it has arrived!

Best greetings
