That seems to be the pattern.
Great photos Pchri12 and thank you.
I got them to load. Imgur can be hard to get the pics to show up.
Another great
video
Pretty impressive how a 16000 lumen Acebeam is destroyed just like that… :smiling_imp:
Haha thanks 
Pchri12, very nice and clear comparison. Thanks.
This is what 1 person said on the site about that app,-
Google Play - Lux Meter
Has very limited range I have a very bright flashlight that I was hoping to test, but in anything brighter than a 100w lamp it reads 6000lx and will not go higher. On footcandles it stops at 558ftc. If you want to read relatively low light levels, then this would be a great app.
There must be a way I can test my flashlights at home ,
Increase distance to reduce lux. Then do comparative measurements.
Do a ceiling bounce with the flashlight and phone on the floor?
Yes, I agree, Pchri12 posted some great pics!
And that video that was posted here by NikolaS is a must see.
Here it is again.
To those doubters that have so far passed on this light for what I consider silly reasons, that video will at least make them want to get one.
To those that are waiting for another manufacturer to come out with another light with perhaps active cooling (a must), all I can say is I have the DX80 now, and boy is it FUN.
AND, at least for now the price is right with the right coupon codes. We may never see prices like that again!
Who are you talking about and what are the silly reasons?
Perhaps People that are doubting the brand or the quality of the torch. Or people that think 32k lumens isn’t thaat cool To justify the money. :laughing:
You know what dchomak, never mind, no need to answer this question. Should I bump into you, please show me the light, I’ll buy you a beer and we’ll talk lights! Cheers! 
… But I might get this light myself… Before Christmas maybe? Dunno… :question:
I still think buying Imalent is like Russian roulette. Most get a working light, but others get Pow!, dead. :cry:
It’s a big gamble in my mind.
Even if you get a working DX80, you still get shot in the foot with a burned up charger that you have to replace yourself. I don’t want to bleed all over the place, so I just choose to not buy Imalent. Maybe in the future they will fix their reputation.
My number 1 silly reason for not wanting to buy one is “I don’t need it” 
To most that would be reason enough, but for me THAT is the most compelling reason to buy it. 
C’mon guys, live a little.
BTW, think us guys never buy stuff we don’t need? Here is a list of the top 10 best selling cars in America in 2015. Notice that the top 3 are pickup trucks.
Now pickup trucks can be useful, but do you really think that everyone that buys a pickup truck buys them because they are useful?
The most useful light I own is my EDC, a cheap SK68 clone and I use it all the time!
useful = boring
Also, in life, anything that is considered elegant is also not practical. HAS to be. Name one thing that is both elegant AND practical! (don’t mention a $7000 Rolex, cheap watches are MORE practical)
Now, THE number 1 reason someone may pass over this light, the 1 reason that really bugs me.
“It’s not tactical”
For some reason, peer pressure?, many flashlight enthusiasts will look down their noses at a light IF it does not conform to what they would consider the qualities of a tactical flashlight. It’s as though the only reason whatsoever to have a flashlight in the first place is because they are a member of some imaginary, elite government security force and in order to perform their duties (live their boring, trivial little life) they just must absolutely have a light that can pass ALL of these specifications.
1. It can be used as a weapon
2. Must be able to be used under water.
3. Must have a military grade anodized coating on it.
4. Be able to run at it’s highest mode until the batteries a fully drained.
There are others, but you might get my point by now.
BTW, this list of tactical qualities is the reason so many lights come with both the hated SOS and Strobe modes.
Here are some other reasons why someone might choose NOT to buy this light.
“Made by Imalent”
“It’s a flooder, not a thrower” (there are thrower snobs out there, you know)
“Too many lumens, too much money, too big and heavy, It’s dangerous, etc
”It should have active cooling, etc. etc.
All I can say is this, of all the lights I have bought since I came to this forum, taking into account the progression of the technology during that time, this with out a doubt is the most impressive light I have ever come across. THAT, and that alone, to me justifies my purchase. And I wish that at some point in the not too distant future ANOTHER light comes along that will do the same.
For me EVERYTHING has changed. None of my other lights look the same to me anymore.
As an example, last night I grilled chicken outside in the dark. I took a 6-XML SRK with me to do it.
Normally I would have used my SK68, but as I mentioned, EVERYTHING has changed.
It’s true though, this light absolutely NEEDS a fan.
But then it couldn’t be used under water…………………………….
Please forgive my rant. I am a maverick and have never conformed, nor succumbed to peer pressure.
It’s the reason I use Harbor Freight meters, buy cheap Chinese flashlights, drive a Van as my work vehicle, and generally have a good time doing what I want to do.
Yes, I own this light because of the WOW factor.
I like to be WOW’d
I couldn’t respond any sooner to your question, actually I was tying while you wrote this.
We should all just keep an open mind. If my light blows up tomorrow, I may change mine.
I followed this thread from the beginning and after the first ones were released and there were problems I waited. But when I saw that they could be fixed, and the how committed Imalent was to this light (They actually created a retail box) I figured all would eventually be worked out.
Then when I saw what the discounted price was for the early adopters, I jumped in as fast as I could.
I most definitely think that will be looked back upon as a missed opportunity by those that waited. I figure that price discount is a result of the initial problems Imalent had with these and once they are proven to be overcome, that discount will no longer be available.
To me, regret is the worst emotion to feel. As an example of regret, I regret missing out on the special price offered to the first people to commit to the BLF GT.
Another light that changes everything
Sorry. It turns out I was too picky on the “flicker” observation. I am so impressed by my 2 Imalent DX80 that I’m buying 2 more.
My reasons not to get DX80 are it is too small for a 300+W light so i worry about long term reliability. Second reason is the way the battery makes connection with the light that will develop contact problem in long term and will cause flickering. Just my personal view on DX80, I am waiting for better choice since i am happy with high output flashlights i have like RC40, SR95SUT, Blackshadow Terminater, just to name a few.
