Oops, I seem to have accidentally ordered one of these.. ;)

Happens to me all the time. There's no cure.

I've checked.

Here is a question I didn't see asked yet (unless I missed it)...

For the version with the turbo safety mode, after it kicks down to high can it be reclicked to turbo immediately for another 20 seconds of turbo or is there a cool down timer that forces you to stay in high for an amount of time to allow the driver to cool off before turbo mode can be engaged again?

it's 99.9% likely a timer not a heat sensor..my zlt sc600 has a 5 minute step down and to reactivate that higher setting you have to turn it off and back on again..doesn't matter how hot it is it's just timed to step down at a certain time..the dry is probably the same way..have to turn it off then on again..what i'm curious is if you cycle through med and low does it go to high again and omit the turbo setting?

Mine is the version with turbo 20s step down to high. U can immediately switch to turbo again with a half click once it step down. No need to off and on again. Did it 3 times straight. No issue

Wonder how long you can actually keep it on turbo before it frys.

Thanks for the reply..you say half press brings you to turbo..do you not have to cycle to medium and low first??

No need, once step down, a single half click brings it back to turbo.the DRY mode arrangements of the step-down version is from low-med-high- turbo-low. from high mode, the next click will be turbo.well, this is what I experienced and with this arrangement it should be correct too.I did it with 3 step-down straight. Always need just a single click to bring it to turbo.

Ok that makes sense..I assumed it went turbo-high-med-low..it's good news to hear we can get back to turbo so easily after stepping down to high..

Awesome, so we should be getting feedback from some of you guys soon! We will need pictures, beamshots, measurements, readings, everything!

I thought that has been done thorughly, > 1000 posts in several threads here and CPF. The DRY is one of the most measured light around here and also the most talked about. It is not a new light. Some love it, some hate it.

Here are the 2 main threads here : https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/3756

That's what I thought.

I guess he means about the new driver?

[2100]

@watkins

That's what I thought.

The main selling point is that the new driver is 800Hz PWM. It is still visible but more than enough for use in reality. The light is already very optimised especially for flashaholic's use (literally any tint imaginable), and now with this special low price. I am too lazy to swap out all the drivers so i 'll skip the drivers. Seriously 247Hz PWM is definitely usable. If you have the DRY in one hand and the TR-J12 in the other hand, it is enough to be orgasmic. :)

Instead of spending 24 bucks on 4 new drivers, i spent it on 3 new U2. Will need to find time to change out them LEDs. :)

[dthrckt]

I'll post some pictures and impressions - others have already and will soon do a better job w/ both - but I gotta tell somebody about this thing, and I don't know other flashaholics...nobody else wants to here about it guys LOL

I have that problem, just got my jm07 pro recently, tried to talk about it to my other half and she was not impressed...at all.

[jamesearljonesisasca (jamesearljonesisascab)]

Maybe we should keep the reviews of this new dry in its own thread. whoever reviews it first everyone just add to it. Like 2100 said its been done thoroughly.

[dthrckt]

good idea

I think some people might not like stuff added to 'their' review thread, but I like seeing it all in one place

[atbglenn]

My Dry shipped out 4 days ago and my tracking number still isn't working. Should I be concerned?

[Langcjl]

I’m setting the over/under @ six new Dry reviews when all of these land. I’m putting my money on the over.

[Stittville_Ed]

Over for sure!!!!!!!!!!!

Still can't figure out why I didn't order one

Mine just went online today..says it was posted on the 12th..yours should be up soon

[Fightin14]

I sent payment last night so I hope it goes through. He had posted saying the group buy would till open toll the 15th I just had to wait till I got paid.

I'm wondering if our tracking numbers are screwed up. I purchased on the 3rd and received the tracking number on the 9th (time stamp for the tracking number is 2012-01-05 11:08:07) yet there is still nothing posted. If it hasn't been shipped already and I have to wait through Chinese holiday then I'll be quite annoyed. For now, hopefully we can chalk it up as technical error.

[Reflection]

the group buy has ended? I thought it didnt end til the 15th?
how much brighter does the cw version seem?
