Imalent DX80 32000 lumen monster

I’ve got today the Post office notice announcing that my DX80 has arrived.I collect it tomorrow. :slight_smile:
I hope it is not a lemon. :question:

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.))

Mine should come today also.
USA

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.

After arrival of the second DX80,I compare Thermography :+1:

nice! thanks

Mine came in yesterday and I got to play with it a little last night. No problems with it so far. Hopefully it stays that way.

Congrats.Imalent is Lottery :smiley:

This guy has problem with charger…

Ya, those cheap adapter can’t last long.
Maybe has to use laptop charger as replacement.

In my case, the AC adapter seems to be bad.Damaged just by using it once :rage:

The good news though is that it is outrageously bright, the reason I ordered mine.
Nothing boring about this light.

First thing I will do when I get mine is measure the open circuit voltage of the charger and the voltage under load.
Then I will use those numbers to use an external variable current limiting power supply to see how many amps this light draws when charging. Those numbers will be useful if my charger blows like the guy in the video.
Maybe the best way to charge it is with an external power supply

I have a Dell XPS L702X laptop,which has a charger at 19.5V/2.5A.(The original from Imalent, writes 19V/2000mA).Is this good for the light?

I think so. But you better measure DX80 charger adapter voltage to have confirm voltage number. I don’t trust those number very much although mostly they are accurate.
I cut many lousily small adapter connector head and connect them to bigger adapter with similar voltage. Of course after they stop working.
I guess Imalent knows they are selling the connector head as back up for the lousy adapter.

I have had the same issue with the charger adapter the symbol of the flashlight did not light up. Sent few messages on Monday to BG they runaround me & I received their message yesterday that the adapter is in back order!. I’m considering to file a case to paypal. I totally lost confident with Imalent since my order was placed end of July.

^ Adapter is in back order? You’ll just receive another one that goes poof after 15 minutes. Imalent need to at least source a different charger which will take extra time I’d say. Well at least the light didn’t go poof.

Ow, like I told few weeks……

THIS LIGHT IS VERY EXPENSIVE!

I think if ultrafire was the manufacturer of this light it certainly have more reliability and costs less

I first thought it was funny… Then I realised you’re probably right, haha! :confounded:

I think the light is fine, it breaks shear output record of stock light.
Charging adapter might not be tested thoroughly enough.
Well, I have seen many good brand charging adapter failed for example HP. Just that they failed after a few years, not one time use.
