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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
