In that case you should be disappointed at BOG, not Jetbeam :nana:

and btw, how about keep the discussion on the light itself, and not on the dealer's ad?

This was the only officially released photo of the RRT-3. We posted on both our site and the CPF Marketplace ad that the handle/mount was not included.

As soon as info on the handle is available we will post it.

Thank you,

Thank you for varifying that the photo in fact wasn't yours, Flavio.

My disappointment still stands with JB, not BOG.

Also berry, myself discussing what I was, is in fact discussing the RRT-3, is it not?

Some may call it complaining, but I am simply stating my disappointment at the situation. 😉

Imaging if Surefire advertised a light with a pocket clip, then shipped them without it, and charged you extra to get one... world war flashlight would begin!

Hey Dime... Where was JETBeam advertising that the RRT-3 comes with the handle shown in the picture? There are also many pictures of the RRT-3 without the handle. Lots of companies take pictures of their products with accessories shown that aren't included with the purchase of the product. I don't see an advertisement or statement from JB saying what, if any accessories are included with the light. Even BOG's page about the RRT-3 over at CPFMP plainly states...

"Available sometime in April. Will be available for pre-order starting Tuesday, March 23rd.

***Handle & Rail Mount Not Included"

So I fail to see any reason for disappointment with JB...:shrug:

I hold my opinion.

If the handle wont be released until june or so, then why would JB send dealers their only official image, with it pre-installed?

They have then left it upto the dealer to explain that the handle is an added cost, and wont even be available for a while after.

Also, I don't even think BOG knew that it wasn't included, as it was a couple of days after the initial announcement that they added the asterisk point.

That's ok Dime. We are all entitled to our opinions. And we all have the right to be upset. Lord knows we all need to find something to be upset about, or disappointed in. This one just doesn't seem like an earth shaker, or a war starter in the grand scheme of things...:poke:

By all means, and a war is not my intention.

But when people question my opinions, I will always answer 🙂

There are many things in life that are trivial to some, but earth shattering to others.

I don't know Rob, with you now having access to the RRT-3, I think we've all settled on a common "thing" to be upset about.
What do you think guys? :ironic:

That is for certain. This world is made up of several individuals for sure. I even understand how a picture could give someone perceived expectations. Heck, as I said above....I've seen many product photos that have accessories pictured with an item that aren't actually included with the purchase of the item. Does that constitute false advertising? I guess it's all a matter of perception and opinion. I just don't see the picture of the RRT-3 with the handle as a matter to get the knickers all bunched up about. Especially since we have no official statement, specs, or sales info from JB themselves yet. Until we do....all our discussion is nothing but supposition and speculation.

BTW....Did I mention that I would have an RRT-3 in my hands tonight? :party:

Our information is the official release for the RRT-3 posted in the MP.

Bond...

Not sure if the sample you have is the same one we had for SHOT, but if it is just be aware that it is not being driven at 5A like the final production version. I believe it was only driven at 3.5A if I remember correctly. Everything else looks to be the same.

Enjoy the light and looking forward to your pics/thoughts.

Sad day for Rob :mecry:. I went to get the light last night with all sorts of excited expectations, and the light JB shipped was defective. Again :mecry:. The beam was severely de-focused, and the output was no where near what was expected. Mind you, my guess is this was a pre-production model, but still...I was so excited. Unfortunately as bad as I wanted to, there was no way I was going to use this unit for testing and review. I was even going to do a product demonstration video, but obviously that won't happen either. I will update you all when I find out when they will send another one. :mecry:

EDIT: One thing I can say is that the RRT-3 is going to be a great addition to the Raptor family. The build quality is normal JB, and the light feels very nice in the hand. I hope they can send another one soon.

EDIT 2: Another thing. I am puzzled, as the light pictured in post #399 and post #454 above shows an OP reflector, and the light I had my hands had a smo reflector. :thinking:
