Raptor-3 using Luminus SST-90

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

First of all, I'm really sorry Rob, I know you looked forward to the light and hell ,we ALL looked forward to a review and some more shots :sigh:

Second, to the dude from Poland. This ain't right bro. I didn't move over to the USA to get news LAST! I came here to get stuff first...I may have to move back. I've seen some of the women in Poland...can I stay at your house?


😀
 
Thanks for the review link. Looks to me that the M2S throws further than the RRT-3, from the 250m beam shots but the RRT-3 has much wider spill on the corridor shots. Perhaps not surprising but I would have hoped for more throw.
 
Some bells ringing to me, that you have a wife... :grin2: I guess, a small remark about polish women would end up like this ...
😱oo: :huh: :scowl: :rant: :whoopin: :twak:

But sure, you're welcomed :thumbsup:😀


Oh, by the way, don't judge RRT-3 from the beamshots on this German review. The LED was driven only at 3.5A. And this hidden compartment for the ice (cooling feature), guiri mention about, seems to not work properly. The light runs very, very hot. :sweat:

Congrats cchurchi ! :thumbsup:

At least one of your choices is pretty impressive ...and I'm not talking about flashlight 😗
Do you have some other photos with flashlight instead of gun ? :naughty:

Pozdrowienia dla pięknej Polki z ojczystego kraju! 😉
 
Currently, my wife uses a Wolf-Eyes R2 Storm, but I'll post some pix with the Raptor-3 when it arrives. As to your last statement, I'll have to have my wife translate.:grin2:

Just to clarify...

The final version will be driven at 5A and come with either SMO or OP reflectors. The prototypes that all the reviewers had were driven at 3.5A and had OP reflectors.

Hope that clears it up.

What's Jetbeam's track record on getting a flashlight RIGHT the first time? Or do they allow the early adopters to be beta-testers like Eagletac does? My impression was that they don't make many mistakes, but I just noticed the M1X is up to version 4 already. What gives?

With as much buzz as their new "flagship" light is creating I think they will see the value in taking care of the early adopters if a problem arises. There are alot of people that are going to be waiting to hear feedback on this light before they pull the trigger.
 
If you go down highway 1 and then turn right on hwy 74 and when you come to marshville, turn right at Wendy's and I live right there...now quit screwing around and get over here!
 
I bought my RRT 3 yesterday in Hong Kong. Mine comes with a SMO reflector. I may go out to play with it this weekend.

When do you think you'll have the new vid up?

I'll post a link to it as soon as it's available. We used a JETBeam RRT-3, Fenix TK40, JETBeam M1X, and the Olight SR90. Can't wait to see the video myself. It sure was fun playing with all those lights on a big, dark, empty soccer field. I want an RRT-3 and a SR90 real, real bad.

In the Lightjunction video the hot spot has a large unlit area. Is that dark area observable down range like the M1X? How about flat-top 18650 support?

The dark spot is visible only close up. I had it outdoors tonight and the beam is just beautiful at distances. Most led's have a dark spot close up....including, but not limited to Q5's, R2's, and R5's. I don't know what causes this in single die lights, but it's there. None of these show this at distances.

As for the flat top support, I will see if I can find out that information.

I do not at this point work for nor am I officially associated with LightJunction.com. I am good friends with them, and enjoy making the videos for them. My relationship with them may change to a business relationship in the future. If that happens I will make an announcement at that time.

Thanks bondr006! I've been eagerly awaiting the RRT-3 since it was announced last year. However, the issues with the RRT-0 after it's initial release and the UI of the M2S have given me a wait-and-see attitude on this release. That being said...resistance is wearing away... lovecpf
 
I am ridiculously excited about this light, but i think i might cry if it gets here before my AW 18650's...a month of waiting and the not being able to turn it on 🙁
 
...a month of waiting and the not being able to turn it on 🙁

Life's cruel ironies.

:ohgeez:

I should be getting mine either today or tomorrow.

(I hope, I hope, I hope)
