I’m on the fence at the moment. It’s strange there’s not many reviews of it yet.
I’ve asked Gearbest if I can review it for them but they’ve decided to send me a DX80 even though I’ve already reviewed one for them.
I really want Imalent to make a button you can find in the dark, the DX80 was a nightmare to turn on but at least you could see the illuminated button to turn it off. The MS12 is a nightmare.
The Imalent UI is great for reviews though, this new Anduril v10.8 with it’s ceiling and 2000 points of customisation is a nightmare to present. I definitely prefer the original D4 UI.
It was a pain to have to remove the ceiling feature (ceiling really did make reviewing hard) and temp calibration seemed trickier to do than on the Narsil v1.2?
Don’t get me wrong it’s great if you’re up for customising the UI but it’s difficult and boring to cover it all in a vid review.
I didn’t need the manual to change anything on the D4, the D4S maybe could benefit from being stripped back.
Obviously I’d love AUX lights but I’d prefer the D4 UI with maybe just 9 taps to enter a muggle mode if a limit is needed. 9 taps, light buzzes whilst you tap for max power percentage, 1 tap being 10% so the D4/D4S becomes a 40 lumen light for kids. 9 taps and let it buzz through to reset to default.
Just had a thought, since the R90C is too big for the TA lumen tube, maybe you can compare it by ceiling bounce with a light with similar beam like a MT09R XHP35 that fits the TA lumen tube
That’s very interesting the results can vary so much. If TA lumen tube measured 16k lumens for the R90C while not being able to capture a portion of the light, I would take the bathroom ceiling bounce results as more accurate. Maybe because the R90C is floodier than the MT09R, it reads higher in the bathroom where some of the light gets bounced off the wall back to the lux sensor.
I got a broken ms12 on the date of arrival. I still havent got an email response from banggood after 9 business days. i sent email again and also forwarded the email to imalent…
I just received my R90C. The head is actually about the size of my 4” TA tube. Maybe some of the light is hitting the lip of the pipe bell but I’m still a bit disappointed that it only measures 13,370 lumens at 1s.
