Imalent DX80 Gen2 - QC Issues?

He will let you know as soon as he can see the keyboard again :smiley:

Will try using a taking a pic of the LED at turbo tonight.
I’m pretty sure these are the same items recalled from the Gen1 DX80.
For both pieces to have QC issues, thats worrying.

So far no reply from GearBest CS after a week , whatever happened to replies within 24 hours.
PM CSGearBest and told to email support@gearbest.com which they dont reply.

Imalent did however ask me to ship the heads back which shipping cost will be covered by me.
they did mention that they will include an Imalent DM21T as a gift. But that defeats the purpose, bought one as a X’mas gift, but the time they receive my package and ship out , it will be 2018 :smiley:

Wont the half lit LED produce less lumens?

Think about how many led dies this flashlight has and how many of those are not lit up. You can’t tell the difference by eye.

It’s not imalents fault. The only way around this is using pwm.

If I’m not mistaken, the leds don’t light up at higher levels as well (#10).

Ah ok, I missed that part of the sentence. At 1500lm they should all be lit.

I bought my Imalent DX80 from banggood and initially it seemed fine and even the charger seemed to work for the first charge.
Then I noticed that 4 of the 8 LED’s had gone dim and were not lighting up in any power mode… Great…
Queue a dozen emails back and forth to banggoods customer service department…
Is the battery fully charged?
Is the head screwed on properly?
Send us video.
send us pictures.
Is it working yet?
Then in the end they told me to contact imalent….
Finally imalent said send the head back and we will exchange.
Shipping will cost a fortune and I already got shafted with import tax and might even get it again with the return head. (Hopefully sometime this year)
But the main question is… Am I going to get another lemon?
Love the idea of this torch but not really worth the nightmare and building costs.

Has anyone got any good ones??

I got a good one.

It’s not really a practical light. About as practical as a Nitro-Methane burning funny car.
For me, it’s a light to have “just because”

My dx80 wont charge. Emailing back and forth with bang good is like pulling teeth.
Times like these are when i rethink buying pricey toys like this from china.

I ordered a DX80 from Gearbest yesterday but decided an hour later to cancel so I filled out their cancellation form. This morning I get an email that it has already shipped lol. I've read a lot about the DX80 and for most people it works just fine, but obviously imalent has some serious quality control issues they need to deal with.

Lol indeed. I tried the same with another much cheaper item before and got the same result. Those of you who want to get stuff shipped faster might try cancelling rather than that seemingly useless “dispatch faster” button.

agreed :wink:

mine has zero issues , hope you love it as much as i do

Imalent DX80 currently on sale at GB (MAP =$379.95) $216.00 w/code. Why so cheap if so good? Many times, flash sales, I think GB sell known flawed products.

I sure hope not, I bought one….

Sometimes a good price is just a good price :wink:

I'm going to ask Imalent if they can help me repair mine or what to do about it as GearBest won't allow me to make a claim. Everytime I try and send a claim, a pop up comes up and says to check the product and won't allow the claim. Some much for every ordering from Gearbest again.

You can contact member “CSgearbest” here and ask for support.

Thanks, never knew that. I figured they are just blocking me until the 15 days expire and then leave it up to Imalent to solve!
