Sure it can be concluded if it was tested with a power supply. I still blame Fenix design though because TK70 is notorious on this, batteries, threads and contacts must be almost perfect to operate in Turbo mode. Maybe the design of high power driver at that time was still not as efficient.
I encounter step down or flickering with brand new 2 x 26650 if the contacts are not good. So I think proper firm contacts are very important for TK70.
Nice setup you have. I wanted to setup with 2 x 32650, too bad I couldn’t get the adapter for TK70 at that time.
Those were the days. 2k lumens and triple XM-L driven nicely were big deal that time, esp with close to 100k cd. With 4 x NiMH D and a 100+mm head, you really could put someone into ICU with a single accurate whack to the right places.
I just had to get that setup. Even if it meant buying a set of high quality Tenergy Centura low LSD NiMH D and new D size charger at close to 70 usd including shipping.
Now the same things get rehashed in slightly different ways, with 32-60k lumens. Sensitive with batts, sensitive with heat so need a fan. And that plastic fan gets broken during shipping…….so shall we add 10 more layers of bubble wrap?
etc etc,
So nope, no X80-GT/X70 or MS12 for me, not even at usd 200-300. Sorry.
But yes, i know the “just have to get that setup” feeling.
Ya, I had 8pcs of Ternegy Centura D Size NiMH, all rusted after all these years and I threw them away.
Sure Imalent is creating very very high power flashlight compared to TK70. But the fan is shown to have no obvious airflow, start from turbo and in 6 minutes it can reach 80+ degree, might as well remove it and put a bigger heatsink there. Or may be redesign a bit with different fan placement, not sure can it be done or not with such small space in there.
I got my r90c today. Neal did great job on the packaging and inspection… he will personally check the light per your request. So that’s way everything is working… if you have a choice, please order from a Neal. He is above and beyond. He put additional box over the original box to secure the light… Thanks.
You wished or you wish? If you wish, you should do a giveaway of R90C :smiling_imp: , i am sure it will cure your flashaholic behavior. Whenever you feel want to buy another flashlight, you will remember you had given away a brand new R90C. :smiling_imp: Just kidding.
I try to sell lights. No one buy it from me… all my lights are excellent condition. oh well…
I measured the r90c with the Texas ace lumen calibrated tube… I got 16000 lumen… some lights are escaping because the tube is little bit small… I am happy with the imalent specs.
Newlumen, you have all the flagship lights! I buy a lot of lights too but don’t have any expensive flagship lights yet. So I would be surprised if you said you are not broke. lol
If you get 16k lumens on the TA Tube and some light gets spilled, I’m guessing it is probably making close to 20k OTF lumens as specified. Very tempting!
How is the tint? Is there any blue? I am ok with cw like the 6500k oslon in the Delta but don’t want any blue. Does this seem cooler or warmer than the Delta?
My used lights actually make me a profit on ebay as people in the UK don’t really want to order from China. I’m agonising selling my TN40vn for a R90C. I’m just at odds with flashlights currently having to be bigger to get more output or throw. I don’t really have space for a MF04, MS12 and R90C, I used to be able to carry the flood and throw kings in 1 carry case!!!
I’m a big fan of Imalent, if they had Acebeam build quality they’d be the best brand by a billion miles but their flashlights would be double the price. Arguably Imalent innovate and push performance more than anyone.
Apart from the DT35 their lumen ratings are pretty decent, the DT70 was rated at 16,000 and only returned 13,000 but the XHP70’s in that were shave domed so it would have made 16,000 without shaving.
The DT70 with better build quality would have been a classic, USB charging, glorious tint, mind boggling offer prices, informative OLED screen, compact design with record breaking power and unrivalled throw for a dedicated flooder, but the springs were gash and many came with faults.
