Updated Jetbeam RRT01 XM-L2

430Scuderia · Jun 14, 2013

Just arrived from Fastech, under $55 w/cpf discount(Thanks cpf!), Hong Kong to USA in 8 business days.
Has been updated to XM-L2 though I don't which one-states 600 lumens.This is a gift for someone so I didn't open the package.
Didn't see anything on jetbeamlight.com home page about this. Packaging is different as it includes "niteye" too.

Interesting! I thought after the whole Sysmax vs Niteye thing the Jetbeam branding was just going to be dropped. This is worth looking in to...

Please make photo of reflector.

Oh cool, I ordered one of those before the weekend from Fasttech so that'll be cool to see when it shows up.

A while back the group that manufactured Jetbeam lights (Niteye) and the group that sold and distributed them (Sysmax, also sold Nitecore) had a disagreement, and both started claiming only they had the right to the Jetbeam name. After that, Niteye started putting out lights under the Niteye brand and ended their arrangement of letting Sysmax sell Jetbeam lights, so it looked like the Jetbeam brand was done, to be replaced by the Niteye brand. But this evidence suggests that the company that manufactures Jetbeam has decided to go on selling both Jetbeam and Niteye branded lights.

What I know is; that Niteye is a sub-brand of Jetbeam. That Sysmax has the name "jetbeam" registered in Europe. Jetbeam kicked-out Sysmax for distributing.

.. and because of all that i decided that Jetbeam does not exist any longer in my world :nana:
i am done with Jetbeam and Niteye brands, labels and companies.

Nitcore is different though. They are industry leader right next to Fenix and Olight.
Therefore i cannot cancel it from my list of existing brands. :hitit:

Maybe I'm missing something, but just to be clear...you ordered the XM-L T6 (500L) version and Fasttech sent you the updated XM-L2? Because I don't see the new 600L version on Fasttech's site?

Could somebody elaborate on the FASTECH CPF discount? I don't see them on the list of dealers offering CPF discount codes over at the MarketPlace and searching both CPF and CPFMP doesn't turn up anything either. I was just about to place an order with FASTECH when I noticed their discount mentioned in this thread. Thanks!

Edit: Never mind.....I figured it out. My Bad.... FASTTECH has two Ts, not one. I finally found a 5/16/13 post from Greta who was responding to someone with the same question I had. She said, "FastTech has not even logged into the MP since January. Their advertising subscription expired and despite efforts to contact them, they have not responded or renewed." (Apparently, Greta misspelled Fasttech too!"
