REVIEW IMALENT DX80 COMPLETE.

1st of all: great review! Thank you!!!

I have questions regarding the battery:
Are those 8 ā€œnormalā€ 18650?
The pack looks pretty non standard to me.
Can the cells in the pack be replaced?

I have many unused Panasonic 18650 3400mAh cells here.
Could I just solder them together?
Is it also possible to just use 8 cells and put them in, as they areā€¦.?

Thank you.

:smiley:

Its not easy access to the pack (I donā€™t know how can I do), and I think that the NCRB have no enough drain to this flashlight.

nice thanks
no fan?

Sorry my bad English, please, explain a little the question. :blush:

there is no ventilator behind those holes?

Iā€™m pretty sure there isnt. Active cooling would be a whole other animal plus it would require pathways for cool air to enter and hot air to escape. This light doesnā€™t have that. It looks like it just letā€™s air in to expose more of the internal heatsink.

Iā€™m still not sure if they kept the plate design heatsink from the video. Promo pictures show a different design.

Not. There is not ventilador. Combine step down, electronic thermal control, and air circulation. Im happy whit his thermal performance. I do not publish this data because can be very different whit the News modifications

Thanks
Canā€™t imagine it helps a great deal with those tiny holes
If you get the new head, could you use a piece of aluminium foil to close them and see if it makes a difference?

Iā€™ve one last question:
We have seen the maximum output in your great review.
How long was the light running on the highest level, until it stepped down?

Turbo similar to spec, high a little less.

In these two cases, the differences with the specified may be related to the thermal control system. When the flashlight reached 70ĀŗC (external), I turned on the ventilation, the temperature down, and the power up.

This is reflected very well in the graphs, but I do not want to put some data that will vary appreciably after the head modification.

The real problems of runtime come in other modes, as they are much more powerful than specified, so the runtime is greatly reduced.

You can make all the question that you want

Ok. I will do it.

Always turn on ventilation around the outside 70 degrees. We can check the difference in time to reach that temperature and how the light flux is modified

What do you mean when you say you ā€œTurn on the ventilationā€?

Are you saying you have a fan nearby that you turn on to blow air across the light to help cool it?

In the integrated Sphere. The test begin whithout ventilation. When the flashlight reach to external 70 degree, then i cool in

How do you cool it?

When will they send you back the head of the light?I see restocking is in September 30 at BGā€™s site plus they allow pre-orders.
If there was the full review,and was positive,it could be possible to buy one with a coupon.But I donā€™t know if the coupons are valid till the full review is uploaded. :person_facepalming:

Nice man, looked at your other reviews too and dang I understand why they send you top notch lights, what nice pics and depth in review!

Looking forward to your results in how much those holes make a difference, we can talk aboit it (I really think it hardly makes a difference) but a real test goes way beyond that.

Two computer fans, powered by a power supply. I can apply the air directly over the flashlight, cooling it quickly, or I can turn the fans and draw warm air around the flashlight. This second is slower, but may come in handy to analyze electronic temperature control systems.

I donā€™t know nothing about when its backā€¦ā€¦
