I've been a longtime fan of JetBeam flashlights; the Jet-I Pro 3 is one of the best EDC lights I have ever had. I even had all the little goodies like their strike bezels.
But their newer offering seem .. well, ugly. The BA/BC series remind me of Fenix clones. These two lights (RRT-15/21) don't have that distinctive look and aesthetic of the older models like the M1X and first gen-RRTs.
I pick up my discontinued Jet III (not M or Pro) from time to time to admire its design and detailing. Hopefully they bring those sensibilities back to newer offerings.

Hopefully they also have improved their design to improve thermal conduction from the emitter to the body. There are numerous threads about various models in their first releases (the M1X, the Jet IIIM, and the RRT) not having any thermal paste or even decent heatsinking. This was before the Sysmax acquisition, of course.Hopefully they bring those sensibilities back to newer offerings.
I must admit that I'm not impressed by that clip.
RRT21...........low mode 3lm for 40 hours only?????? Is that a joke?
Same goes for the RRT15 low mode.
