+1 for rotary and AAA clicky.
Vemice, how do you like the RRT01? I have never owned a Jetbeam but this one makes me think I want to? Have you every had any trouble with them from a reliability standpoint?
+1 for rotary and AAA clicky.
how do you like the RRT01?
Not on my Go-bag, but more on my urban EDC sling bag since mid-last year (2019) :
1. Jetbeam Jet-u AAA as keychain light on my car/room keys.
2. Lego-ed Surefire E2T head on an E1B-clicky body (wide/flood beam) - simple head-rotation by thumb and index finger to switch from Low-low to high mode.
Lego-ed Surefire EDCL-2T head on the E2T body (longer reach throw) <- is loaded from my bag from time-to-time (if necessary, to manage the bag's weight and stress on my shoulder ).
- If I could only have 1 light, it'd be the Zebralight SC64w HI.
- My favorite two light combo would be a floody headlight - Zebralight H600Fw and my mediumish throwy light above - the SC64w HI.
- If I could have 3 lights, I'd add the Zebra SC600w HI for even better throw in a tiny package. All 3 lights are 18650 lights, and I have several small and large solar panels to keep em lit even when the power is out.
BOSS-70 (1x18650) and my usual 2xAAA penlight.
In spite of the advantages, I have never been able to justify carrying two lights that use the same cell(s); instead I like having a secondary/backup light that is considerably smaller.
After really falling for backup penlights about 12 years ago, I am currently on my fifth (Pelican 1975) - updated emitter tech and/or losing/gifting prior one(s).
is BOSS an Overready offering?
yes,
similar to the basic 4 mode (programmable) HDS clicky,
except to program a Boss, requires using a computer, or smartphone...
to access the programming link by internet, for the Russian (Lux-RC.com) driver.
I prefer the HDS UI. Especially the Rotary version.
otoh
The Boss can reach higher brightness levels than the HDS
disclaimer
I dont own a Boss, I believe my post is accurate, but I recommend you seek verification. I did handle a Boss briefly.. I bricked it trying to program it, using my iPhone.. the warranty service, in USA, was prompt and courteous.
And I dont own an HDS, though I did at one time. I sold it when I discovered the RRT-01, that I find more within my price comfort zone. I also prefer the stepless ramping UI of the RRT-01 to the 24 step HDS ramp.
This would do the trick! The EDCL-2T packs a punch... I would miss the intermediate levels to help stretch my battery life a bit👊
The top tier Acebeam lights [X65 and X70] are as tough and reliable as they come.Seedy, I'm not familiar with Acebeam. I take it that you find Acebeam to be solid👍 Overready is on my list too😅
the 2020 version RRT-01 has a tailswitch, in addition to the Stepless Rotary Dial.
Available with battery adapters, that work with anything from AA up to 18650..
