Imalent DX80 32000 lumen monster

Depends on the cost of the product, but yeah, very little. Same goes for any international country (including the US for me), which basically means anything I buy on-line may as well come with no warranty at all.

I figure I’m funding my own warranty program. If I bought stuff domestically (even if I could find it), it would cost about 2x as much as ordering on-line. The occasional dud is annoying, but it’s still worth it overall.

That’s my point of view as well. However, this is not applicable in the current situation in my opinion. If you receive a DX80 with issues, it is not that you have received a lemon; it is because the original product is (most likely) of poor quality. Sending it back to China is not going to make the product of a better quality. This means that if you get it back eventually, it still is very likely that you will have more issues in the near future. So how many times do you want to send it back before realising it’s not going to get any better?

If I was interested in this light, after reading the comments about quality issues, I would definitely wait until a production run of the light is thoroughly reviewed, before purchasing. I’d probably wait 2 or 3 months longer, to read about what kind of quality issues are popping up from users.

I do sometimes order lights that are on pre-release. But, they’re either from companies I trust with quality (like Zebralight), or are cheap lights that I’m willing to take a risk on. Mostly, I wait until a light’s been out for awhile, to see what the quality is like.

Absolutely. I’ve had my finger regularly caressing the trigger for this light, as well as the MF-01. The DX80 is a very, very tempting light…

yeah me too, but after reading all that i decided to forget this light for the time being maybe someday i’ll get back to it. Imalent as a brand doesn’t shine in confident department at the moment.

Problems

Ok, good chance this is just the beta test we are seeing.

Well I am working on the Q16 with CAD designers Thijsco19 and Cawi
I think Texas Ace is doing something with 6S6P config and he said they had to make a driver that is basically two drivers delivering 15A each so he wants to crack out 30A, sounds promising.

The Q16 is planned to be quad emitter (is it a “Q”light) with 26650/20700/18650 cells in 2S4P
16K lumens and active cooling to have it run on that as long as possible. We have not yet talked to DEL and Tom about the driver, but it already seems challenging.

So,I forget about X65 and X9. :smiley:

Man that is what i like to hear! i know you will soon get another project going since Q8 and GT is basically complete.

The specs does have “monster” vibe to it :sunglasses: So which emitter? i am sure not XHP35 HI like in the original plan for Q16?

Put me on the list for a Q16.

Well this is not the Q16 thread, we need time to prepare first :wink:

Back to the DX80
Did anyone see if it has a fan and how long it is bright in the real world?

well Q16 made DX80 irrelevant :wink:

X65, forget about? Will the flashlight that this topic thread is about put more light out there at 400 yards/meters? Or will any other flashlight on the horizon put more light at 400 yards/meters than the X65? If yes, let me know, and I will buy two, one for each hand.

Me too. :smiley:

With enough throw of course,not only flood. :smiley:

Thank goodness. I would rather wait a month. About Imalent DX80 delayed shipment notice

I’m waiting for mine. :sunglasses:

as in not cancelling

Goinggear in the USA has them on order. It’s probably the best place to get one if you live here even if you have to pay more just in case you get one that doesn’t work properly.

All eyes on round two. I sincerely hope Imalent delivers a quality product. If not, it’s good for a giggle. Hey I make sure I find myself in a win win situation as often as possible.
