Just curious if anyone has any feedback on the performance of the control rings on Jetbeams' RRT vs Fenix's TA 21. Also curious how the beams compare flood vs throw.
Thanks
Thanks
I have both of Fenixes: TA21 and TA30. They are not similar. The ring on TA30 is really tight, but TA21 has very easy to turn ring.Well, I don't have TA21 and RRT-2, but I have TA30 and RRT-1. If they're similiar then....
The ring on Fenix is tight and requires more force to turn (it's very hard to operate the light with only one hand)[/url]
+1, it is nigh on impossible to turn the ring of the TA30 with one hand, i intend to try and smoothen it and will update once i have experimented a wee bit.
coolperl said:When it comes to throw, I think RRT-2 is better.
The TA30 throws pretty well too as can be seen when you look for the beamshots here
what i like about the TA30 are its runtimes and cell versatility, i am running my TA30 on 2x17500s but it can run on:-
2x14500s: no discernible loss in output
3xCR123s: as recommended by manufacturer
3xRCR123s: i use unprotected cells
2xAA NiMH: i use eneloops, output is diminished, i would say down to about 10 lumens or so and using the ring does not change levels except that the light can strobe.
2xAA alkaline: output can be changed using the control ring but it is of course diminished as only 3v is going to the LEDD.
At lease i know that i can shove in whatever cells will fit and i will have SOME light.
I have both TA21 & RRT-0. The RRT-2 i tried is from a friend's, he's a flashaholic and has way more lights than I haveSo do actually have all 3?!! (I'm kind of new to this forum and its nice to see others with flashlight addictions).
So how would you comparet the beam of the RRT-0 to the RRT-2 and TA21? What I'm looking for is an all around light. On the continuim between flood and throw I'd like it closer to being a thrower...
I've never had a light with a control ring before but I'm imaging I could use it on low to read in bed, get a drink in the night without stepping on things, have decent light on medium to hike in the mountains at night with the knowledge of good runtime and on high be able to light up a house or vehicle 100 yards away. Can the RRT-0 do that?
Thanks!
