JETBeam RRT-0 Overview With Lots of Pictures

[lots-o-lights]

yes nice review and very informative..you know i side by sided it with my rrt-2 and it kicks A** what a great little light and easy to carry too because of the small size..the beam with the op reflector is great and as big as the bigger rrt-2 in fact it appears brighter and clearer (artifact free) than my rrt-2..theyre gonna sell a ton of these..lovecpf

Just got mine in this AM and its great. Couldn't be happier with its performance. Waiting for dark to put this thru its paces. I am one happy camper. Don't care for the clip it does look like an afterthought but the lanyard is nice. Just have to find a nice sheath for it and I'll be all set.

You are right Bob...they either need to redesign the clip or come up with a different solution for it. Otherwise, the RRT-0 is one of the best EDC single cell lights I have ever had. I am also one very....

Here are some initial Lux readings at 1 meter (fresh lithium AA and Titanium CR123)

AA CR123 Primary
Moon 54 57
Lo 213 216
Med 411 388
Hi 833 811
Turbo 4250 5040!!

Reading were on an Exetech light meter. sorry not runtimes 🙁 I LITERALLY got home, loaded the cells and recorded the values.

I received the OP reflector today. Previously my biggest fault with this light was the rings it produced. I put in the OP today and took some before and after shots. I admit, I didnt take the time to go outside to take some real life beam comparisons. I even took these with my Blackberry. At least you can see the difference. Outside, I am more pleased with the beam quality. It seems to throw almost as far too.

Top is smooth reflector,bottom OP. Both on high.

yeah@!!!! now i'm going to get one too! :thumbsup:

Re: Got my JETBeam RRT-0 Today

Sweet. Can someone who's getting this post it with Jet-1 Pro v3.0 (if he has it too) besides it please? :candle:

Here ya go. RRT-0 on the left. Both lights on low in first picture. Couple of sweet lights, huh?

Re: Got my JETBeam RRT-0 Today

I'd be very grateful for one more pic - Jet-1 Pro v3.0 vs. RRT-0 with AA extender. Thanks :kiss:😀

PS. Is it brighter than Jet-1 using Ni-MH/alkaline?

Thanks, Bondr! 😉
Is that with the AA setup?

Thanks, Bondr! 😉

No it is not. That is the one picture I forgot to take and include. 😱 I will get one with the AA extender up soon.

Do you mean with both of them using NiHM? I have no alkalines...sorry🙁 I will get a comparison shot on high level with them both using NiHM's up soon.

Thanks for the pics Rob! :thumbsup:

 

[bondr006]

OK y'all....Here are the pictures I promised. First is the size comparison with the RRT-0 with the AA extension tube. The second is the beamshot comparison with both lights using AA NiHM's and set at max output. Enjoy!

 

[Zeruel]

Thanks again!

How's the throw comparison? :thinking:

 

[bondr006]

Thanks again!

How's the throw comparison? :thinking:

I will try to get an outdoor shot of the two side by side soon. 🙂

Although, from what I have seen of them outside together...the JB-1 Pro V3.0 seems to throw almost as well as the RRT-0.

 

[guiri]

PS. Could you post bigger beamshot pictures? I have 22' monitor and I can't see many details in 400x300 ones.😱

You could always change your monitors resolution temporary to a lower setting..

 

[bondr006]

Here's a few more beam shots. Have not had a chance to test real throw to compare the two. Maybe tonight....😉


These three shots are about 30ft from my deck to the fence. All 3 lights are using lithium rechargeable batteries, and are set to their max output.

JETBeam JET-l Pro V3.0 w/OP reflector - 240 Lumen

JETBeam JET-lll Pro ST BVC w/smooth reflector - 225 Lumen

JETBeam RRT-0 Raptor w/smooth reflector - 240 Lumen

 

[Zeruel]

Thanks, Rob, appreciate the effort.

I can't really see any big differences between the 3 other than the Cree rings. Based on the hotspots, looks like Jet-1's brighter by a small margin (comparing to RRT-0).

 

[bondr006]

You are welcome. It amazes me that the JET-1 keeps up so well with the others, even with an OP reflector.
