Does anyone have both the XM-L and the XM-L2 versions of the RRT-01?
I know that you will probably not be able to detect the additional 100 lumens with your bare eyes.
Is the tint and the beam pattern the same between the two?
What about the detents and the build quality? It would be nice if the off position detent was more positive.
I have an RRT-01 with an XM-L and an OP reflector. I really like it. Enough to have purchased a Niteye EYE15 just to be able to run the 18650 body with the RRT-01 head. It is nice to have a 3400mAh cell on board. The extra length also allows all of my fingers to grip the body while I turn the ring. I paid $105.59 for the two. The Eye15 lacks the excellent sub-lumen levels. It has a nice off position detent, but it has ten more between off and max. These are unnecessary and annoying in my opinion.
It sure would be nice if JETBeam made an extender or 18650 body for it. If they included an 18650 extender in the box, I would have already bought a second one. That would really make this light versatile in terms of cell choice.
I am considering a second RRT-01. But I will wait until the Nitecore SRT5 is reviewed and then decide which one I want. The SRT5 would be less expensive because I would also need to buy another EYE15 with the RRT-01. Gotta have that 3400mAh 18650.
