Imalent DX80 V2 Thermography Although I took a video, it was not recorded on the SDcard due to an operation mistake :confounded:
The illuminance drops at about 60℃ and hot display appears on the display.Maintain below 62℃.
At other times when it was 58℃ or more when re-lighting, the illuminance immediately decreases.
It looks like there is not FAN.
There is no hole for air cooling.
The battery is fixed and can not be removed.If this twist it might be possible but I will not try it (damaged scary) :confounded:
Anyone that is game enough to test, try switching the flashlight on medium, high and turbo and disconnect the battery tube while turned on and quickly reconnect it within one one second. This is what caused my fault. It quickly flashes and a pop and smoke. This is a short circuit and the battery must not be reconnected.
The reason why I was trying this was to reset the mode memory, but the flashlight should have been off before disconnected obviously. Nonetheless, this should not cause a fault. I hope they fix this as it is the 2nd know case in an few days.
I tried hard look on heatsink, but I could not see it well.This need tools to watch.
In Thermography this hole part was the highest temperature, so there would be a heat sink inside.
Sigh,Charging is impossible :confounded:
Imalent think that the probability of hitting a problem is high.It is the third after DT70, HR20.
Because I bought two DX80, another one will arrive shortly.Until then DX80 is unusable.
Large light since OLIGHT SR90.Large light is also good
Cool more arriving!
Can somebody use a piece of aluminium foil to close those little holes and see if that causes it to heat up a lot faster?
I still think it doesn’t but would love to be corrected for then ths expensive to make and design part would actually make sense except from advertising point of view (I really think they planned on a fan, it didn’t make enough of a difference because the holes are just too small and opted for making the CPU style heatsink a little bigger so it looks good trying to sell it.)
I think they never intended for a fan. It would require a complete redesign. A longer head combined with an intake and exhaust area. There are no signs of that here.
I’m sure they could have made the holes bigger if they wanted to.
It looks to me they only intended to create more surface for better cooling.
Maybe they just don’t know enough about how to design with fans?
(Unless they are rather big, fans will probably not make much of an impact when it’s about this much heat. (Apart from a lot of noise, if they are small, that is.))
GearBest is now promoting this light, 30 pieces with USA plug for $219.95 with code “DX80”
I wonder if they are just clearing out stock and giving up or they just got this batch in and are kicking off a sale campaign.
