The Niteye TF20, 18650 light with a rotary control, like the JetBeam RRT21.
I received a new light today from Marshall at Going Gear., haven't read much about it here on CPF yet so I thought I'd share my findings and pictures..

My findings:
Great fit and finish, love the anodising, love the control ring, feels solid as a rock.
The control ring is a little different from JetBeam, as this one clicks as you turn it, making it not really infinity brightness steps, but plenty to suit most needs.
Will take it out camping next week for real world testing :)

This beauty is bright! It's my first XML light, no complain.
Nice beam profile, forward clicky, complete accessories.
The lack of knurling on the body does make it a bit slippery.

I have one and i love it,definately a keeper and btw the strobe is also adjustable but it wasnt stated in the manual...you go left fully to strobe then click right slowly and it will go to slow strobe....hope you love your new toy,im in vietnam sea now onboard vessel and i can tell you this one of a bright creature same brightness as the search light onboard...the light so bright that my ship's captain thought it was a signal from another vessel...you see the smooth beam it shines....one word,Magnifique!

This looks so much like a chopped light using old Jetbeam parts or just a cousin of the rrt21.

The head looks like the older Jetbeam Pro IBS.
The control ring probably come from the same old Jetbeam mechanism.
Body, well, just any plain old traditional looking body that even look very close to the rrt21, especially the part near the control ring with the flat hex cut and the rounded curve in to the narrower body.
Tail cap seems to come from the RRT1/2/21, etc. series.
I wonder if the Jetbeam extension will fit on this light to make is 2x 18650.

SOS distress function....its like the RRT-21 only made to be better n have more "hansome" look...btw niteye was the designer for jetbeams....
