Imalent DX80 32000 lumen monster

Heheh :smiley:

I’m so confused, goinggear.com posted a video 10 hours ago showing the DX80 lighting paper on fire, so I assume they received stock, and maiden666 has clearly received one. I have one preordered through gearbest and they have changed the shipping date a few days forward to 3-6 September. But Imalent have posted that they have a quality issue and need to delay orders for 20-30 days?

What are you confused about?

i´ve received it YESTERDAY. I have it less 24 hours. When i received the unit, a little hours later, imalent publish this message. I don’t understand.

I want to begin to make test today, but i´ve waiting a imalent response.

JasonWW:
Maybe re-read my post? Imalent are saying they can’t ship the DX80 to suppliers for another 20-30 days due to a quality issue, see post #270 with link to their statement from yesterday. But here we have a BLF member who has received one, and goinggear posted a video of one 10 hours ago, i.e after Imalents statement. Their statement is posted on CPF so appears to be about the DX80 in general and not a second batch. Gearbest meanwhile have updated the shipping date but only by 3 days. So my confusion is, are they all delayed or have some been shipped, what is the issue and should I be worried if mine gets shipped in the next few days, i.e is the issue only with a second batch or something? To add to the confusion, banggood have a statement on their product page saying that it is delayed until 25th of August, this was the first delay and I preordered less then a week ago thinking this issue was fixed and it would be shipped soon (although ordered from GB instead as prefer DHL). So Imalents statement from yesterday appears to be a new issue?

Maiden666, where did you order yours from?

^ Imalent is stating about the second batch. First batch was already sold out. So the light Maiden666 received should be from the first batch. On Chinese forum many people complain about problems with the DX80 (from the first batch). That’s probably why Imalent decided to change stuff of the second batch, hence the delay.

Ah, it seems you weren’t aware that the first batch had shipped out and already arrived to many customers. It was mostly to Asian locations. There have been numerous reports of problems and doa’s. So Imalent has stopped shipping and probably told GB and BG to not ship. Imalent are going to redesign the driver. So there’s probably going to be a long delay before the Rev 2 models are shipped out.

If yours gets shipped in a few days, I would be worried.

This was posted yesterday on Going Gear's IG page.

All I saw was it catching paper on fire. Lights with much less output can do that. So the DX80 better do it.

Was there anything about the halted production?

Wow. Sorry I bothered to waste space with a post in this thread. I realize other lights can catch paper on fire, just thought I'd post it for others to see if they hadn't.

No mention of production stoppage, just that they are in stock on Going Gear's website.

I believe I'll just stick to CPF from now on since I've been an active member there since 2005.

My Maglite can do that 9 years ago :smiley:

i wonder if D4 can burn paper never tried that.

It’s just for the last week or so all discussion on this thread has been about the problems and delays of the light. It’s almost as if you haven’t read any of this thread. I was just confused by your post that’s all. Sorry.

Hi welcome to BLF. I am also a long time CPF member (2006) but never posted there anymore.

I am tempted to call Going Gear and ask them specifically about the questions raised in the past few posts, and also ask them what they think about this make/model in general. Plus, GG is having a s*le.

Thanks! I'm pretty much settled on all my light needs at the moment but just got an Acebeam K70, so I'm intrigued by these monster thrower lights.

I'm not sure if their 9 year anniversary s*le will apply to this light, though. They basically said to try the code (from their email) and if it doesn't apply a discount, then that item isn't included.

I just got off the phone with Going Gear, and they informed me that this item is in stock, but they are holding off on shipping this item, pending reply from Imalent per their query to Imalent about which batch they have, and if it is ok to ship them.

I don’t see how they could have anything other than the 1st batch, since the next batch (to fix problems) isn’t going to be ready for a few weeks.

Well from the video I do must conclude that the light is a very handsome format… The light is flirting with me alright…

Me too. :slight_smile:
I think that it is the correct companion to the GT…

Another delay.It is coming soon by the BG
