Imalent MS06 25,000 lumens

[d_t_a]

Description on that web page indicates:

Everyone knows that IMALENT often produces “lumen monsters.”
This new little lumen monster will be ready to meet you

Some advantages here:

1. Can-sized
2. 6pcs XHP-70 2nd LEDs, max output up to 25,000 lumens.
3. 3pcs high drain 4000mAh 21700 Li-ion rechargeable battery
4. Six output levels

Waiting for being released, subscribe to us for more latest information.

Just wondering, how much current would each battery need to provide to get the “25000” lumens?
(Just theoretical math computation: assuming 25000 lumen divided by 3 batteries = each battery needs to power 2x XHP70.2 LEDs to 8333 lumens or 4167 lumens per LED.
To reach 4167 lumens per XHP70.2 requires ??? amount of current. Each of the 21700 battery will need to provide twice that amount of current).

Also wondering, would 3x 21700 (assuming 3x Samsung 30T) provide more power (max current) than 4x 18650 (assuming Sony VTC5A, VTC5D, VTC6A)?

The imalent ms03 runs on 1 (proprietary) cell and does almost 13K Lumens. It does plummet down very fast, but at startup it pulls 30A from the Imalent cell!

3 x 21700 highdrain batteries should have no issues running 25k lumens even if its not gonna top that… i asume they will use 40T if its 4000mah

Imalent lights were never practical. They are designed to please the ones who on their second week of being into flashlights want to get the absolute highest lumens per size, so they buy it thinking it is the best out there. And then later they realize that UI, build quality and reliability are also important.

Very well worded, i could not express my feelings and experience of Imalent lights any better!

I have 7 Imalents and haven’t notice any problem with quality or realiability.
Maybe because they sit on shelves. And still haven’t lighted all of them.
I have three more on order. And now I must have this soda can. To shelf it.

Cheers.

It uses 3x high drain 21700.

It says so in the text right below the picture in OP’s link at the Imalent site.

Yup, but they added that info about a day after I made the post.

Hopefully any 21700 flattops will work, but I doubt it.

Interesting to see how this will compare in size and weight to the Acebeam X80 or X80-GT. I’m expecting it to be more throwy than the Acebeam.

It should be throwier due to the much deeper reflectors, but will also be much less efficient due to fewer emitters.

More interesing here is the boost driver which power that beast. Is is difficult to drive one XHP70.2 with high currents so more interesting is how Imalent is achieved that high power here.

Imalent needs to fix their quality and reliability problems first

Very true. Bought and sold a DX80 and never looked at Imalent again.

it seems they having a hard time with this they focus too much on silly lumens on paper…

I’ve been using Molicel P-42A. Just about the Samsung 40T equal and a wide top that protrudes past the cell wrapper.

“flashlight can be quickly charged with the three included 4000 mAh 21700 Li-ion power batteries via the magnetical USB port.”

Wonder what “magnetical” means in this context?
Perhaps a Tactical-Magnetic?
Or perhaps Magneto’s powers magical power source?

This is the first (as far as I know) 3x21700 light.
Be interesting how it feels vs a 4x18650. Which I fine a little too thick for comfort.
I like the SP36 with 3x18650s size better.
One of these days someone is going to scallop out all that metal between the cell bays and make a really nifty light.
That weighs less and has great grip.
All the Best,
Jeff

Presumably they mean something like this?

I think you called it!

Very true. Bought and sold a DX80 and never looked at Imalent again.

The DX80 can sustain 7k real lumens continuously. The driver is also nicely regulated at that level. For the longest time it was the recod holder for max sustained lumens and still is for this size range. People need to understand turbo is for momentary usage and should be seen as a supplemental feature to the practical modes. Turbo on most flashlights usually last from 30s to a minute because the heat generated is beyond what the flashlight host can safely sustain, which is why it is called turbo. You cannot defy physics.

That is actually how I use my DX80 the most, the 5000 lumen setting (closer to 6000-7000 ad you stated) is good for 2+ hours. That setting has helped me quite a few times during power outages / working in areas with poor lighting. If I remember correctly, unfortunately, the MS18 doesn’t allow you to toggle the fan at lower levels so it doesn’t have any real continuous improvements at the higher levels (ie 10,000 lumens).

If you go to Imalent site,there is a video about this light.

[Gatzetec]

Hello everybody.

All your questions will be answered in our shop.
The Imalent MS06 will be delivered from the beginning of August.
Pre-orders are now possible.
Thank you for your interest.
We from Gatzetec.de are looking forward to the new lumen monster.*

I like this style if it’s really well sealed. I also noted that Imalent has used this charging system on other lights; DM21C, LD10, LD70. This makes logistics a bit easier. Built in charging systems have been my biggest complaint. Dust covers fail quickly making them a crap and water magnet for an otherwise well sealed light. Streamlight got it right for hard use in bad weather.
