Nice to see RRT0 updated - that's one small & bright light! I only wish RRT21 was updated to DDR26 levels, instead no update it seems...CreeT6? What's that? :( Guess I'll have to go with SRT6 or 7.

Does Jetbeam start using the same plant as Nitecore? The packaging looks awfully similar. I like the old Jetbeam boxes and I save them. The new packaging does not look like a worthwhile saver.

Do you mean the black or the brown boxes?

Haha... he probably means that nice black box. The brown box is okay, but it's definitely not as nice as the black one.

Yeah, I can't see myself keeping the this new style packaging. It'll get just get thrown into my recycle bin.

Oooh, I just took another look at that picture above. Did that black box (on the right) come inside that yellow box? Or did the black box house another flashlight. The yellow box looks like what my Nitecore EA4 came packaged in. Inside was just a piece of plastic moulded to fit the EA4.

The black box came inside the yellow one. It was a very nice little presentation box, I'll be holding onto it as I do all my boxes.

I save both the blacks and the browns. The black ones are very classy and the brown ones are decent enough to save.

I can't believe JB is now co-branding the Jetbeam and Niteye brands in the same product and even packaging. I have a feeling they are trying to phase out the Jetbeam name.

Actually, hkequipment just added the new RRT-01 (XM-L2) to its site today and w/the CPF discount its $63 shipped...just ordered one from Stanley today myself!

 

[aau007]

So how many of you guys got the old price from FT but received the new version?

 

[RedForest UK]

For a better deal just ask fasttech for a 'bulk price' quote for 1.

That would be great if one could actually be assured of getting the new RRT-01, but first Fasttech would need to acknowledge then even have the updated light in stock...when I asked them they claimed they didn't even carry it...see post #35. I think it would anger most people to order what they believe will be an updated RRT-01 XM-L2, and end up with the outdated version due to Fasttech's lack of consistency in communication.

Just buy the one from HKequipment. Comes out to $63 and it is the new one!

Bingo!

Wallbuys now posted both versions.

 

[Hondo]

Yes, and if you want to get the low price (actually a bit lower) that many of us did from Fasttech for the original model, just Google Wallbuys discount code. They charge a premium for the XM-L2 version, so they are not much different from HKequipment. I personally am quite satisfied with the 500 lumen model I got 2-3 months back, especially since my tint is a very pure white. Not going to chase down a new one to get the next LED upgrade.
