DRY Group BUY from cnqualitygoods.com

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 :wink:

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

Hi Ric. Thank you for confirming that the driver is set to 700Hz for both A and B versions.

I wasn't trying to be funny, it is just better to hear it 'from the horses mouth' so to speak!

Thanks again!

hi all, actually I have bought the 5A Dry with turbo before this group buy,but the tail cap current I measured with my DMM is only like 2.5amps.

Can any kind soul explain to me why is it not 5Amps as advertised?

Thankful.

Hello p0708,

Turbo mode is direct-drive. A fully-charged sanyo battery can pull it upto 4+Amps. Please make sure the battery you used didnot strict the current.

Ric

Hope everyones lights get shipped before the Chinese New Year holidays

When is the Chinese New Year?? I'm still waiting for mine to be shipped

still waiting here too..holiday is the 23rd of Jan

Ordered a NW. Does anyone have a link for the lense upgrade for these?

crap!! I hope mine gets shipped before then... I want to purchase a 2nd one to keep in my car if I like the first one (which I already do, and I don't even have it yet LOL)
