Well it is a very pretty light; nice proportions and curves. :sunglasses:
I’ll let you know as soon as mine arrives hopefully next week.So far there aren’t any reports regarding failing chargers in the german TLF. Folks say it doesn’t get hot at all.
Maybe it’s really an 110V issue.
Omg! A Flashy-grapper. 
The charger(19V 3.42A) arrived, and the light became usable.The charger did not get very hot.
The body of the light is slightly feverish.

Using a different power supply makes sense, but at the same time I also see a possibility that you void warranty if something goes wrong… Has Imalent or the vendor made a statement regarding the use of a different power supply?
Edit:
Silicoon, is that abnormal behaviour you think? The light charges pretty quickly I believe; something like 3+ hours to fully charge or not? So doesn’t it make sense if the light gets a bit warm?
From BG, I wanted to try it with another AC adapter. 
However, I think that it is necessary to verify that there is no problem.
In my case two AC adapters can not be used and it is inevitable :cry:
Naruhodo. 
This is the email I received from banggood.
I don’t know if banggood is okaying that I use a different charger… In the manual it specifies an adapter that is 19-24V/2A. And at some point I’m sure i’m going to have to find another one if I want to use the light.
I got the same email. My interpretation was that BG wanted me to try a different power supply with my DX80
In my case, I brought photo of bad AC adapter to BG first.
19-24V / 2A,unexpectedly is a decent charging circuit??
Does Japan use 110AC or 220AC?
That’s the impression I got as well. I have some 24v ones as well 18.5V ones. I’m not sure i’m going to try those yet.
The battery pack inside the light is supposedly 8 Samsung 30Q’s arranged is a 4S2P configuration.
Each 30Q is a 3000mAh cell and at 2P that would be a 6Ah pack.
So the pack is charged at 2A for 3 Hours, 10 minutes, it would fill that 6Ah pack. the extra 10 minutes accounts for losses.
Japan is US plug and 100V Therefore, there are things that many of American home electronics operate as they are.
It seems that 3A or more flows in the heat generation of The charger (19 V 3.42 A).
I want to connect the power supply on hand and see the actual amount of current,my own power supply can only limit either voltage or current.
That’s scary
I already tested my light, it charges at 1.91A
Is it a test with sufficient capacity(A) power supply?
It seems like only the 110v guys are burning up chargers. The 220v guys seem fine.
I think china is 220v so maybe imalent didn’t actually test their chargers running on 110v?
Are you accounting for when the charger shifts from constant amperage to constant voltage as it reaches terminal voltage? That last 10% or so goes much slower.
Here is the setup I used to measure the charging current. That is a compatible plug connected to the output of the supply.
I set the output of the supply at 19.00V with a current limit of 2.00A. Those settings can be seen in the top row of the display.
With the pack at a resting voltage of 15.3V, and dividing that by 4 cells gives 3.82V/cell, I plugged in the charging cable.
Being a regulated supply, the output voltage did not drop as the flashlight drew 1.81A.
I had set the current limit to 2.00A as a precaution. If the light had asked for more than 2.00A, I could have increased the current limit in a controlled way.
When I first got the light, the pack was shipped at 14.6V or 3.65V/cell. At that voltage it charged at 1.91A
HOWEVER,
These tests DO NOT tell us what the charging current is through each cell. I did a further test and varied the input voltage to the light from 19.00V up to a high of 20.50V. Imalent states in their manual that the supply can be from 19-24V.
Notice as the voltage increases, the current into the light decreases. Then as I bring it back down, it increases again.
I even brought it down to 18.5V, perhaps duplicating what happens when a lesser power supply is under load. The current draw rises a little more to make up for the voltage drop.
Notice that during the test, the input watts doesn’t change much.
