Jetbeam RRT-O with photos!

[chef4850]

Hey Flavio, I have place a pre order for the rrt-0 (blackforce 5343). wondering if you could switch my SMO/hybrid reflector for the OP. I really do not want to spend more $ for the light. But if it is possible to just get the OP that would be great! If not still looking foward to this light.

Thanks Chef4850

Thanks for the link. Does not seem special at all. The light starts on high and goes through medium and low. To reach low you have to through medium first. This is what we have on all the lights right now.

You are misunderstanding the IBS, the idea is that you can program all 3. output levels to any brightness or flashing mode the light support. I.e. you can program any of L-M-H, H-M-L, M-L-H.

Not really. I just chose not to mention the IBS thing. I have a Akoray K-106. It has user programmable levels, so I know what that's all about. Don't get me wrong. I think it is a good feature. However, you only mess with the programming until you are satisfied with the levels. After that it's the day to day UI that comes into play. The level sequence of this light is just like other lights, nothing special. What would make it special is a ring that does what I described in the post above.

What about L-H-M, H-L-M, M-H-L and H-L-M ??? 😗

Don't forget about B-L-S (Beacon-Low-Strobe)!

Especially since you could use "T" for "T"actical Strobe, and that would make it a B-L-T.

Do you mean B.T.L.S. edition (Bubba The Love Sponge)?

Great output and my favorite UI of any flashlight but what an ugly beam with all those rings...at least it's a nice color though.

Great idea

Some let me get this straight. Does the selector ring enable the user to pre-select a mode that he wants first before actually turning on the light itself? Say, i keep the light selected on the highest mode for defensive purposes. But say, i find myself in my car needing to look at a map. Am i now able to twist the selector ring all the way down to the low mode and have the low mode turned on instead of having to sequentially go from high mode all the way down to low mode?

 

[Blindasabat]

As I understand it, Yes. I don't have one, but I played with an RRT-1.

... Does the selector ring enable the user to pre-select a mode that he wants first before actually turning on the light itself?

 

[bondr006]

Yes, you can set it to any one of the brightness levels before turning on the light. That is the beauty of the selector ring UI. You have full control over at what level the light comes on before you even turn on the light.

My Jet II has more throw? Maybe I will just keep it.

It's not any brighter, but yes, the larger reflector on the Jet-II can capture more of the spill and send it straight out the front. The Jet-II is an excellent flashlight, and I intend to keep mine as well. I might get an RRT-0 for a friend of mine who has no lights and who probably doesn't want to futz around with multi-clicking to switch modes. The control ring is definitely more intuitive in that regard.

Yeah, I don't really like RRT's standard mode sequences either, having used the IBS for so long, I don't really want to go back to a fixed sequential interface again.

IBS with control ring!

That Would Be Dynamite!!!!!

 

[palomino77]

Yes, RRT-0 uses small Jet-I reflector.

Would this give it the same throw as Jet-I ???:thinking:

I wish I had friends wo bought me hundred dollar flashlights!

If you use a Jet-I reflector, yes. However, the JetBeam site says that the Jet-I Pro has a "high efficiency" reflector with a range of 150m. The stock RRT-0, according to the site, has a "dual-curve" reflector with a range of over 200m.

So in theory, the stock RRT-0 with the hybrid smooth reflector should out-throw the Jet-I with a normal smooth reflector. If you want an RRT-0 with no rings, though, you'll have to "make do" with a Jet-I OP reflector.

If my assumptions based on nothing but marketing blurbs are correct, that is... 🙂

 

[RobertM]

Has anyone received one yet? I'm quite intrigued by this light. 🙂 It seems like a 1-cell, poor-mans U2. This might be my first Jetbeam once some reviews start rolling in.

I dont think they are out yet, but I too am giving it a hard look.
