Imalent DX80 32000 lumen monster

Actually you get 8 x 18650 30Q

didnt know DX80 uses 8x18650.

Yes 8 pcs 4S2P same as BLF GT with built-in charging

Is there by any chance are relation between 4S charging… and 32000 lumens? :stuck_out_tongue:

Hope I will get chance to discover… :student:

Would love for there to be a smaller version of this that thermal compounds to a copper spacer soldered to the MCPCB. Or just straight to an extra thick mcpcb that sits on a shelf that thermally conducts the body so that it cools off the LEDs as well as the head/handle. The fan/radiator would be integrated into the head aesthetically and it could be modular where it unscrews from the head so you could replace the pump. It could be made stealthy so that you wouldn’t see any pipes and wouldn’t know it was water cooled. That would be amazing, think of the runtimes!

There are ways to do miniaturized water cooling involving small fans and aluminum tubing. Think, high performance cpu cooling.

It would be impossible to retrofit though. The tubing would have to be manufactured structurally into the mounting plate of the LEDs and possibly into the body to save space.

I don’t know what sort of space is used for cooling in the design of the DX80, but I’m guessing it could be accomplished in about an inch of head/body tube space. Would involve a small fan and tiny radiator, and some venting. Natural heat driven fluid circulation.
Would probably drive the price up another $100, though.

Oh well, Gearbest just listed this light as well. With discount code “DX80” they’re selling it for $220 or 190 Euro. Pfff, what a great price… And that’s with 8 pieces of their protected Samsung 30Q batteries…

GB says 8 pcs 18650 not included…

hint hint, next BLF project? :stuck_out_tongue:

Here it says batteries are included. http://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_681518.html

It says: “Battery Included or Not: Yes”

I read in BG’s page the following.
Built-in 8pcs 3000mah battery pack.

Wow if that BG listing is correct it is 8 series
Aren’t 30Qs 3100mAh? This would mean they sonr charge them to the max probably to extend lifespan.

Why do you think I wanna know everything about these kind of lights now storming the market :wink:

i think Samsung 30Q is 3000mah rated cell not 3100mah.

Now you are teasing :smiley:
I wonder how big the head need to be to maintain 32K lumens without active cooling.

Looking at the “mode” switch, I was suddenly wondering whether Imalent went back to the touch screen control…

I do hope that they will add a spare driver in that box :slight_smile: The heat caused will fry the default one in no time, my DT70 died after only like 10 hours of moderate usage( driver fried)

Good.So I forget them.
I hope that my TN36 2017 does not suffer from this… illness. :question:

I do not have any problems with my collection of small, medium and large size/weight lights that are so excitedly capable of releasing all of the power of the cells in a brief blaze of glory. Why? Because I keep the blaze of glory brief. When I feel that the light is beginning to get hot, I throttle down to lower mode.

There is no ultra high performance light that does not “suffer from this… illness.”

Most all ultra high performance lights will get hot quickly. The problem is caused by the user not selecting a lower mode when that happens.

I do not blame the manufacturers when their ultra high performance products have to obey the laws of thermodynamics.

Realy? They claim 32k, 50k or 100k or so lumens, they HAVE to maintan them OR maintain the torch stability otherwise

And they did, at least they tried….yet, when you put that power in that kind of a body usualy “sweets” happenes.

3 XHP70 in that bpdy okey…4……maybe okay but double that number? Excuse me

I wont even talk about batteries temperature, thats another quite risky issue too

If a light fries itself due to the heat it produces in stock form, it should not have been released IMHO

If this 32k light indeed does have a fan that could very well protect the driver and cells from heat, that would be awesome
But again lack of info makes it all unsure.
I feel more and more inclined to think that lack of decent info on runtimes and such dus more a sign of sure shortcomings but we will see when the first real life user experiencces reach us (and that afhinese “review” was about outside and missed a lot (or well maybe I missed it, then I hope to stand corrected :wink: )
