Got our JetBeam RRT-2 XP-G R5 & Jet III M XP-G R5

Hey guys, just wanted to share that we got the RRT-2 R5 and Jet III M R5 last week. We kept bugging Jetbeam about it because we had a gunshow last week so we can showcase it there, also we did some tests on them, we'll upload the video once we finish:naughty:

Sorry for the crappy pics, i just used my phone cam.

we just got 6 units of RRT-2 R5 and Jet III M R5, there's is not indicator laser etched on the RRT-2 which says High, Med, Low etc probably bec we needed them in a hurry.

Also i cant figure out why they used the same tailcap switch for both RRT-2 and Jet III M

its brighter than the R2 up close but as expected the XR E throws farther

Nice! How do you like the Jet III M? Mine is still in the mail on its way....

If sell RRT-2 , one is mine. Mp for price please

i like both of them pls take the time to post a picture of your Jet III M on this thread when you receive yours, i wanna see if yours has the same tailcap as ours. Thanks!

Will do! Hopefully it arrives tomorrow.... 2nd time saying that!

it looks like they put a narrower jetIIIM reflector in the rrt-2...
anyhow, it's nice to see JB's efforts for switching promptly their products to the latest leds :thumbsup:

I already have RRT-2 with XP-G and I like it Throws almost as good as XR-E. BTW, "official" one seems to have slightly smaller reflector.

Waiting mp to pay the mine :twothumbs:twothumbs:twothumbs:twothumbs

thank you sir for the pic

Cool pics. Is the UI much different, or just the emitter was changed out?

Any other news about the updated Jets?

I hope the Jet IIIM will be available with the OP reflector like the XR-E version.

Isn't the E3S a nice little light? It's gotta be the brightest 1xAA I've seen in a long time, and it's considerably smaller than the E3P on account of not having a thick plastic sleeve inside the battery tube.

All the RR-2 (r5) seems to be OP reflector, is there an smooth option?
Are the runtimes better than the R2?
Thanks! :thumbsup:

Re: new Jets

Fenix, OLight, EagleTac, Dereelight, Wolf-Eyes etc. have their own tactical XP-G models.

What are you waiting for Jetbeam?:tired: At this rate the XP-G will become obsolete.

Why do the top pics have a different tailcap to the other guys???? Also whats runtimes like? On the R5 is it worth upgrading from my r2?

The Jetbeam III-M R5 is now running at 355 lumens, about 105 lumens more than the R2 edition. So you can decide based on that. The R5 is driven a little harder at the maximum setting, and has a bit less runtime on maximum (2.5h vs. 3.0h/18650 battery). But these are manufacturer specs.

I am definitely going for the R5. 105 lumens isn't significantly brighter as far as the eyes can see, but it is noticeable.

Mine is now on Customs office, i'll go for it tomorrow. :thumbsup:
Since i've ordered the two reflectors for the RRT-2 R5, i'll try to do comparative beamshots for the two of them in the night.

That would be great, thanks.

My RRT-2 R5 is now in home!
I'm begining to learn to upload photos to the post, so please be both patient an indulgent with me in this regard.

CPFBiology, i'm sorry to say that the OP reflector that came with the order doesn't match the RRT-2 head, as you can see: :shakehead

There will be not comparison beamshot for the SMO Vs OP reflectors, sorry...

I've taken some outdoors beamshots for the RRT-2 R5 (SMO) Vs Olight M20 R2 (SMO), but i'll post they tomorrow with some others pictures of the light and details changed from the R2 version. Now is time to go to bed. :tired: :thumbsup:
