![]() But will I ever invest significant money in Imalent again? I’m very, very skeptical. I know I’ll eventually spend some horrifying amount of money to own a 100 000 lumen flashlight simply because I can’t not. The market that doesn’t care to sign up here or go read 38 reviews and suggestions isn’t going to investigate the 80 other options when based on their limited knowledge, they can buy the biggest and brightest LED flashlight in existence. When a 100 000 lumen flashlight shows up as an actual production product some of them will impulse buy. Many people who learn a little about light learn quickly what lumens represent and then hit google for the brightest or highest lumen flashlight. I don’t for a second think their ambition is misplaced. Now their plan is to almost double heat production and we’re supposed to trust their tried and true heat management? LOL anyone remember the DX80 launch where the first ones off the line could set a piece of paper on fire within like 40 seconds… a total recall, a complete heat sink redesign and a 2-3 month delay. The result was still no detectable airflow whatsoever. He lit woodchips from a smoker and shrouded the entire light in smoke. I watched VOBs video review of the MS12 and was shocked when he tried to detect the active cooling fans airflow. ![]() If it looked like they actually put a giant computer heatsink with a fan in the head, it would’ve been great, but noooo.įinally, I don’t trust Imalent’s QC in such a high output light.Ħ250 lumens per XHP70.2… 1200W… An inferno of heat and a device made by the most unreliable quality controls in the industry. Their heat sinking looks like absolute crap. The LEDs will heat up super quickly, meaning the lumen output will go down super fast.ĥ. The LEDs are pushed harder than the MS12, meaning the light is less efficient overall.Ĥ. And battery life would be absolutely horrible at full power.ģ. Even if they used Samsung 30Ts, these cells couldn’t handle 1200W+ of power for more than a few seconds. Imalent tends to overrate their lights by a significant margin ever since the DX80, getting a bit worse with the MS12.Ģ. ![]() It’s obvious it’s not going to sustain 1200W of output.Īnd it is not going to get close to 100k lumens for a few reasons.ġ. With an optical efficiency of say, 90%, that would mean each LED would have to output 6250 lumens. Pushing 100000 lumens out of 18x XHP70.2 means the LEDs must output at least 5600 lumens. Illumination output electronically regulated.Well, I think it doesn’t look actually that good. Sidewinder Compact® II Light Output and Battery Run TimeĪll runtime claims to 10% of initial output level. Preventing accidental discharge of both the firearm and light.
