Oh great, I signed up to this forum just so I could get a flashlight. Just my kinda luck. Now I will have to convince some government type that there are great big bears in the Sacramento Valley that I need this flashlight for. Thanks a lot guys.
Id like one version A with holster and 3x Sanyo batteries, should be 88$, do I add nickname too or only "BLF DRY Group Buy"? Thanks
Ordered mine the other day, NW, version B and 3 sanyo's....probably order some hi-max protected for it when it arrives.
Isn't someone on the site looking at doing some kind of short run upgrade parts, copper I believe? (thought I read something somewhere...)
Start your message BLF DRY group buy then list EXACTLY what you want. Nickname not needed.
Why are so many people buying the neutral white? Is it that much better?
Depends on the use, personally for me yes. The light doesn't seem quite as bright (a none issue with 5a to 3 xml's!) but the colour rendering is far better I feel.
I'll be using it mountaineering so colour rendering can be a huge advantage.
got a bc40 but i want something brighter, and then found out about this group buy, decided to join this forum, count me in if you guys are still open
can someone give me a lowdown of how to order? do i just go to product page and mention BLF group buy?
Just put in an order for 1 NW Ver B with 3 x Sanyos. Thanks for the group buy!
Just read the first post,
transfer money to his paypal account while stating BLF group Buy
Then with extra information note the specific model you want (driver, cw,nw or ww) holster/no holster
and pay the responding money.
Then when he ships your order you will recieve a e-mail!
Cheerz ;)
I'm considering this offer but my Skyray 3 mode has been ultra-reliable so far. It pulls 2.85a at 4.2v rising to around 3.5 for the majority of the runtime with a proper buck circuit. It drops less than 3% in the first 2 minutes (after my homemade heatsinking) and outputs 1800 dropping to around 1750 lumens when warm according to my measurements on max.
I prefer the form factor of the Dry but can't get over the overdriving of the LEDs on max. PWM for all the lower modes isn't ideal either, I just don't see what it would give me over the SR3800 (maybe I'll only realise when the driver blows on it) but then I have a TR-3T6 driver for back-up anyway.

BLF DRY Group Buy
1x DRY 3xCREE XM-L T6, Neutral White, Driver type A, $75
Why are questions about PWM frequency not being answered?
Ric can you please answer the questions raised by myself and many others?
I have to say this is a very strange way to conduct a group buy.. 
+1
Are you just looking for general PWM because I made note of that in the second post of the Group Buy Interest thread: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/72532
It should be 800Hz
But does Vic say that?
Well, that's what he told me personally when I was grilling him about the improvements to the DRY so I could add it to the thread.
Sure, he could have provided some more info to this upgraded DRY but then I was the one who initiated all this and pressured him to do it. He isn't even really advertising an "updated" DRY all that much. He's content with linking to the already listed product and I guess I don't see any problem with that.
He does call it dry 2 with new drivers but that’s about it ,I’m sure it will be sweet ,I will have something nice to do a comparison 
There is absolutely no performance hit, i measured Ric's stuff/sources. The NW used here is the T6 3C. I also have the T4 5A3 4000k, that one has a performance hit of ~ 15% so i guess it's also one of the better ones. I do no think they still have the 5A3, that tint is very nice for those who can appreciate NW. 5A3 is right smack in the black body radiator line in the chromacity charty. 3D is in that region as well, 3C is not. But some folks just like 5000k better, but do know that really low modes have a small amount green tint, just that the approx 0.15A-0.2A drive of the low mode would not have this manifested.
Hello Trancersteve,
The PWM of both of two driver are set as 700+Hz.
Thanks
RIC
