The flashlight is made in China. The workers have to work their asses off to meet production quotas. The logo on her shirt wasn't Jetbeam. Still, I'm considering this light as Surefire is overpriced.
Sysmax is really cheaping out on the new rrt3-xml. Came out with a new head but keep using the old body with the 1200 lumens marking. Least they can do is update the marking on the body. I would have bought one during BF sale if it were for the old body marking of 1200 lumens.
I have an older, 1200 Lumen rrt-3 - it's friggin awesome. You can buy the latest version in Australia, including batteries and charger, at liteshop.com.au - Yes, I am attempting to advertise.
I am just disappointed how fast she was working. I would prefer her to take her time & pay attention to detail. I just bought a JetBeam RRT-0 XM-L & the machining is awesome. It would make me feel better knowing the assembler took her time putting it together.
I am not surprised that it takes 68 hours. There are parts that get drilled, hollowed, & threaded that take 48 hours of non stop machining where I work. Add the Type lll HA that takes up to 2 hours.
@SYSMAX2011 You sure it's not 68 minutes? There is no way it takes 68 hours of labor to produce a $325 retail light. I think JetBeam makes a nice light with top quality machining in fact I have an RRT3 ,TCR3, and E3 currently.
@cmacclel This only means that it takes 68 hours from the aluminium bar to the complete flashlight. But, of course, most of the work is done by machines and they produce many flashlights at the same time.
@cmacclel 68 hours! Mac how long does it take to make your ti tri-edc? I'm sorry to say the ti tri-edc is the only flashlight I have carried since I got it. I think you retired me from flashlights.
takes 120 seconds to make a surefire 6p, and they charge me 80 bucks. fuck off

The body marking states 1200 lumen because that's what it is on high. The turbo mode is 1900 lumen and only runs for a short while that high.
