I haven't seen a separate review of this Dry yet, just some posts of the owners buried in another thread. Looks like it's the cheapest one for its brightness on the market now: 2500 lumens for under $100 is unbelievable.
I have the WW version, and I can attest that this is of the same quality as the 'branded' lights mentioned.
It is, in fact, made by an OEM factory.
This is the only 3 x XM-L light of which I've not heard of a failure - unlike ALL of the other available triples out there, save the TK70.
I have run my light on HIGH for over 45 minutes with no issues.
Review to follow.
Unfortunately i cant post a pic as i have removed the offending parts and have replaced the springs with great dollops of solder and its working fine now. the brass springs simply lost their ability to keep the batterys in contact...the rest of the light is ok, and i get 5.1 amps at the tail...Baddog, can you post a picture of your collapsed springs? I don't know what a collapsed spring looks like. BTW, you may be able to get a replacement battery holder. Some other owner received his battery holder missing a part, and CNQG sent him a replacement holder I believe.
Also eager to see a review by someone with more detail about the runtime and hopefully a chart about lumen decay vs runtime at each output mode. On my to buy list since RRT3 is out of my budget and Sunwayman's V60C is only single LED. Only wish the DRY had a memory mode as my usage is pretty consistant.

STEAR CLEAR. ITS a POS.
