The JETBeam RRT-0 R5 has been updated with a slick new feature, a variable output ring that allows you to go from 0.003 all the way up to 255 lumens and everywhere in between with a simple turn of the rotary ring. The light uses CR123 or 16340 batteries by default and can take AA sized batteries as well with the use of the optional extender.

  • How long does it keep its operation in proper order? I'm pretty sure that ring will give you trouble in the long run as dust, water, oil, and dirt will wear it down and mess up the electronics. Less moving parts is more desirable.

  • @Blitz4000 We haven't had any returned yet because of failure in the ring.

  • Are you sure that 4D Maglite is fully focused? I have several Maglites and I've always been able to get them to focus to a virtual laser beam spot. Either way we know the new LED lights blow it away in terms of brightness. It's amazing we got along without these super bright LED lights all this time. Even the Maglites, which used to blow you away in terms of brightness look like $2 cheap plastic flashlights in comparison now. I love the variable output rings, nice.

  • @Gungfuman77 Yes, it is focused as tightly as it can be.

  • I got my rrt-0 xml today and found a hidden mode by accident. Hold the ring and twist the flashlight left to right five times fast and there it is an sos mode.

  • @brunochato2 Yeah, I never mention that since I am so bad at activating it.

  • @goingprepared Give it time, in the long run I'm pretty sure the light will tend to flicker when moving the ring as it is part of the circuit. Even my fenix did this because the cap inside the tail cap came loose but re-tightening it with circlip pliers fixed it and it is like new again.

  • @goingprepared Maybe something with the 4D version as I only own the 3D ones. Thanks Marshall, great videos as always.
