Hello guys!
Recently I bought a Jetbeam RRT-01 with magnetic control ring.
I really liked the functionality of a fully variable output control, but the beam of the flashlight wasn't too pleasing for my taste, cause I'm a big fan of a good throw and the stock RRT-01 is quite floody.
I had an Eagletac D25LC2 on my shelf collecting dust, since I got a Nitecore EC2. The Eagletac is the twisty version and tends to skip modes, which is rather annoying.
I disassembled both flashlights an made some measurements to find out, how to combine the fully variable brightness control of the jetbeam with the good throw of the Eagletac.
The Eagletac was already modified with an XP-G2 S2, so I unsoldered the LED and put it into the Jetbeam. I removed the o-ring from the reflector and grinded down the outer diameter a little bit to make it fit.
The LOP reflector of the Eagletac is a bit longer and has got a larger diameter than the Jetbeam reflector, so the bezel from the Jetbeam wouldn't fit and the threading wouldn't reach the tube anyway.
I fixed the Eagletac bezel onto the tube with some two-component filling, and grinded down the excess filling.
I went to work and lathed a piece of Aluminum to a tight fit to cover bezel and tube and add stability to the construction.
The diameter of the bezel is 22,5mm, the tube is 22,9mm and the outer diameter of the Aluminum tube is 25mm.
The result is my personal favourite EDC.
An unmodified D25LC2 XP-G2 R5 has got a throw of 9000lux@1m. I used an XP-G2 S2 for my project, which is driven harder in the RRT-01 with 18350 IMR.
My modified Nitecore EC2 with XP-G2 S3(stock: XP-G2 R5) is as bright on turbo as my modified RRT-01. An unmodified EC2 has got a throw of 9500lux@1m.
My modified RRT-01 supposedly reaches over 10000lux@1m, which is double the performance of a stock RRT-01 with XM-L2
I wanted to attach some pictures, but it seems I don't have permission.
