JETBeam RRT-0 Overview With Lots of Pictures

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

Thanks jhc. I also would like to see someone like selfbuilt who has the ability to do all the proper runtime graphs do a full review of this wonderful little light.

Here is a picture with the D10 clip installed. I like it a lot.

Nice looking clip! Count me as another person who bought an RRT-0 based mainly on your review, and I'm glad I did. It is my favorite EDC.
 
Just got it in the mail very nice light! Can't wait till the RRT-3.
 
Has anyone considered boring the AA extender to accept 17500's?

It looks like the walls are more than thick enough for machining a little out.

I like this light, but would like it even better with the longer run time on the higher capacity batteries. A spare aa tube could be added for the ultimate in vesatility.

Anyone?
 
Just place an order for one of these at Bug Out Gear.
My first LED light. OK I have a couple of freebes from Harbor Fright. But they don't count.

What a great way to start it's a wonderful EDC light. I take it you did your homework to make such a clever first purchase.
 
Sorry if I'm OT, but are there any runtime graphs of this light? I have one and I want to see judt how flat the regulation is.

Sorry for the silly question, but would it be as good (or better) on primary CR123 cells? RCRs have less capacity, right?

Best guess is comparable regulation on primary CR123. The reason being, given the quality of regulation on NIMH, 1.2V chemistry is really tough to keep going toward the last 10% or so of life, that voltage really wants to sag. Not so much with lithium chemistry at the higher voltage, it does quite better. You're going to notice SOME dropoff because there's no protection circuit to yield the dramatic dropoff like in HKJ's graph.

I have not graphed the regulation on CR123, but I have graphed the regulation with changing voltage and the RRT-0 keep stable light output from 2 volts and up to 3.8 volt. This will give a very stable output with primary CR123 batteries until they are just about empty.
 
Hi,

I just got a raptor rrt-0 in the mail today but i'm having some problems. Using Li-ions (AW rcr123 and 14500), the light will turn on or flash for less than a second, then shut off. I tried it with 2 different AW 14500 and 4 different rcr123 cells. The AW cells are good, they work perfectly in my Olight M20, Nitecore D10, and 4sevens quark AA lights. The rrt-0 works with an alkanline AA and eneloops, but the control ring doesn't function. It seems to be stuck in the highest output and spinning the ring has no effect. Anybody have an idea of what's going on before i send it back?

Thanks,
 
Sounds like you may have a first generation RRT0 their was some bugs so they released what we call Version 2. Do you know if you have v1 or v2? You can look at the tail end and see two small circular holes in addition to the larger holes, if you see it you have v2 if not v1. Check out this thread and look at the pic in post #5 that is the newer Version 2 model.

Re: Got my JETBeam RRT-0 Today(Outdoor Beamshots Added)

Great beamshots.

Now, I love the idea of the selector ring, but I would be worried about the execution. Overall it seems like a pretty solid light - but I don't think I could pull the trigger on one til I was able to try out the selector ring in person.

I have one of the RRT-0's and I can say that the selector ring has a nice look feel to it and the various light intensities are usable from nighttime map reading, hunting around in a closet or room when you have no lights to it's an excellent pocket carry light, always at the ready for looking under a sink or walking at night in an unlit street scene. Also, you can tail stand it and use it as a candle.

If you want a compact everyday carry light, that fits in your pocket, looks good and has a nice user interface, you're good to go with this puppy.

Hope the above helps.
