Out of all the budget triples, the DRY has the lowest failure rate.
Here's likely why. The LEDs mount directly to a 3.5mm (1/8") solid plate that is an integral part of the head assembly. The hole for the reflector screw even needs to be drilled out.
This is a Brynite host, functionally identical to the DRY host. All parts are interchangeable, but the anodizing is of a different, lighter color.
Same as Sky Ray rev 0. My is in total disassembly now because i strobed it with the DRY driver in the Sky Ray SR3800 with 4.22V cells. LOL! 1 of the LEDs poofed and then i used another for my Crelant 7G5.
But the DRY head is very slightly different from the Sky Rays, slightly bigger.
Well, i'd not be too worried. Still heck lots of light. 2300L OTF (down from 2500L OTF) is better than 0L OTF. I've always advocated people not to drive it with cells > 4.10V, well it depends on the resistance of the cells too. Sanyo 2600 @ 4.05V is still pretty POWER!
No, all of those non-DRY drivers are ok to run with strobe even cells charged till 4.3V (some Samsungs, Sanyo 16650). Not enough juice to fry the XM-L. I think if you use AW IMRs, they could fry it at 4.15V in strobe too. heh... It really depends on the actual sag of the cells when the XM-L is receiving full DD juice.
