Any pwm on btu driver? How about the dry driver? What’s the new dry driver like?

Ric-CN · October 25, 2012, 5:29am

BTU driver has no PWM, It’s digital current regulation.

DRY driver is a pwm driver, pwm around 700Hz.

Thanks
RIC

Thanks. Is it really 1.2kg? That’s bloody heavy!

DON_KIDIK · October 25, 2012, 8:58am

Hi Ric,will you be doing this instead of the Shadow SL3: 3x XML?.
or both lights.

DON…

Slewflash · October 25, 2012, 11:27am

Save one for me, it’ll be a few days before the funds get added into my paypal.
But I’m definitely getting one.
Thanks Ric!

I managed going almost 4 weeks without using my paypal account or buying anything online until yesterday. Ric has my deposit for a U2/Dry model.

Flashlightman · October 28, 2012, 11:46pm

Would like to order one.

Thanks

flashlight_man · October 29, 2012, 12:30am

Hey who is this guy J)

This confused me at first. I was thinking I did not post that I wanted one. Looked closer and was like come on man.

Flashlightman · October 29, 2012, 12:31am

lol sorry about that

flashlight_man · October 29, 2012, 12:33am

Not a big deal, funny though.

ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS · October 29, 2012, 1:48am

So how long will this light stay on turbo before it switches down to high mode?

ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS · October 29, 2012, 1:58am

So is 120 sec the max runtime then on either driver? And if so if you turn light back off and on once after the 120 sec on turbo will the light remain on for another 120 sec or will it just go up to the high mode for the brightest setting? I would prefer a light to remain on turbo for a lot longer than this. That’s the main reason probably why most people would buy this light I would think is to use the turbo mode.

Ric-CN · October 31, 2012, 2:56am

After step-down one-click will return to Turbo mode.

Thanks
Ric

Ric, this is an awesome light!

Can you tell us how many lux @ 1 meter?

Also, how is the regulation? Does the output remain steady with a rapid drop at the end, or is it more of a gradually declining output throughout the run-time?

ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS · November 2, 2012, 2:35am

Now Ric, and don’t take this to be harsh. Stop and think about what you just wrote. And I do apprectiate your answer. But if all one has to do is one click to go back to turbo, then why couldn’t they have made the light to just remain on tubo indefinately until at least the batteries get low enough to where the light steps down to high mode rather than being annoyed by the one click rule after 2 minutes? That is what has kept me from buying this light. I’m just thinking out loud here. But it seems sort of silly.

Like ILF, I also own a TK70, which, for me, is the most underrated ‘powerful’ light. But because of its length and weight, only hard-core flashaholics will want to own this light. Now comes the BTU, no longer burdened by these length and weight drawbacks (remember, 4 D nimh are much, much heavier than 18650s.) I share ILF’s concern. I may get one myself if this can be sorted out.

tatasal · November 2, 2012, 2:58am

The TK70 has two side switches. The BTU has tail-cap switch. Entirely different electronics I suppose.

ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS · November 2, 2012, 3:05am

But I will add to the defense of this light if the high mode is as bad as the turbo mode on the TK70 then the point I mentioned above makes that all irrelevant.

I would hazard a guess and say that it’s to avoid the same problem the skyray king runs into. After leaving it on high for a while it’ll become too hold to hold. Whereas with this one you can turn it on turbo and walk away. Then when you come back you can still pick it up. Meaning people’s negligence won’t lead to their pain (or deaths).
