Review: Imalent SA04 (4*AA, 2*XM-L2 and RGB) with touch-screen

too late J)

subscribing… This looks…. Innnntreeresting…

sure would like to have one of these! Fun light! Thanks for the review!

I think I've mentioned it in another thread, but it works well as a photography assistant light!!!

I had to take some pictures at a friend's restaurant, and the warm white came in quite handy. I would imagine this to be a very nice piece of equipment for photographers..

The Imalent SA04 review can also be seen on 1lumen.com

Dang…72.99

Kinda WAY out of my fundage range…awesome looking light, but just can’t afford it

Thanks for the review. Strange graphs. Was there any lubrication at the bezel? Condensation could be from moisture already inside the light. I am still working on an Imalent review; I will test for water resistance now.

Hey Chloe,

Not sure about lubrication, need to have a look for that.

Yes, it seems like it boosts the output every now and then.. at startup it starts at a certain brightness and you can see th light kicking it a little up, and then it goes down again. Not sure if that's just my copy.

Nice review! Testing a light like this must have been exhausting. 4 LEDs? At least it only takes one kind of battery.

That's .. it took me quite a few hours..

I've done 3 runtime tests with total of 6 hours, writing down the ceiling bounce lux numbers every 5 minutes. so yes it's pretty time consuming.

Next time I should do a review on a 1-mode light.. twisty. Done in 2 hours ;)

wait until you get ahold of one of these! Talk about exhausting. I want this to happen.

Thanks for the review of an interesting torch.

I wanted to do runtime tests for the Armytek Tiara A1 using different NiMH cells. I ended up using my camera’s time lapse setting to capture readings from the meter— it saved a ton of time.

Whahaha,

Yes, that's true, but with the ceiling bounce numbers you can actually really see the output and regulation.

I did the "5 minutes timer "manual pictures on earlier reviews, when I didn't have a light meter.

But you gave me the idea to run the light continually and take pictures of the light meter in time lapse!!?

Not sure if the light meter gets into trouble with exposing so much light all the time. But that might be a good option!!! Thanks for the tip.

I could even do double, take pic of meter and beam.

To many LED’s, to many useless modes, make a NW version and a CW version and stop screwing around with useless crap.

What retard thought making a red and blue flashing light that will get you arrested in most places in the world if you use it in public was a good sales idea.

Just as long as you don’t have to scroll through, can’t easily accidentally access them, and are not forced to use those extra modes then I’m perfectly fine with as many modes/mode groups you can fit in a light.

Wolf359, you don't have to buy all 4AA lights that come out ;)

Just get the ones you like, and don't buy the SA 04 or sunwayman F40A, and you'll be fine :p

Wow ChibiM that is a most impressive review. nice toy…too bad that it’s not really water resistant.

Yes, I also feel like that is a shame. But JohnnyMac that also did a review on this one didn`t have any leaking.. so it might be a little inconsistency. Or I didnt screw down all the threads enough.. who knows.

did you lube the threads and O-ring before reassembly ? I didn’t do that to one of my Fenix lights and it sprang leak.

Thanks for the review. It appears that this brand in this style has a leakage problem.

Nice Multi-Lights, but pricey with water-leakage problems.
