Imalent MS12

If I got the light for free to do a review, I would test it in water but I doubt anyone here would like to do that with their own light considering what it costs! Good point about the fan. I wonder if Imalent made it accessible for occasional cleaning?

No way to access the fan, maybe if you disassemble the head which I have not tried. I am definitely not going to try exposing it to any water unless it is distilled water. :stuck_out_tongue:

I did measure output in my 3.5” lumen tube from TA, I used maukka’s calibration lights to test the new lux meter. This is an incredibly inaccurate way to measure luminous intensity because the head of the flashlight is 5” in diameter, there is an incredible amount of light escaping. My GT70 measured almost 3000 lumens apart from people with a integrating sphere. That being said, it measured at 25,000 lumens. I am working on sourcing some 6 inch PVC to build a larger version of the same design.

The fan seems to kick on at 50 degrees Celsius.

25 000 on turbo? not more ? u dont happen to own olight x9r? would be fun see how much more bright it is compared side by side….

The fan seems to rotate very fast by hearing high pitch noise of it.
They are really nice light, i might get R90C later.
Too bad when charging user has to unscrew battery tube. Not convenient when doing topup from time to time.

So i assume you got it? If so CONGRATS… Mine should come this week…so the charging if on the battery itself??

I haven’t purchased yet. Still waiting for more details to know how good it is.

Ohhh ok…i will make a video when i get it…my channel on YT is ThatCrazyFlashaholic 67…

I hate switch that sticks. I have one HP desktop that has power switch that sticks, so when i power on the desktop, it sticks and i have to quickly try all efforts to unstick it, 80% chance the desktop would shut down.

Thanks a lot. Please do candela measurement, preferably outdoor if you can. Indoor will have too much reflection contribute to lux measurement.

Why would you expect more? The flashlight head is 5.1” in diameter and the Lumen Tube is 3.5” in diameter. So a huge amount of the light is not even going inside the Lumen Tube. If a GT70 only shows 3000, then 25000 seems about right.

When you get up to big lights with really high outputs you need to switch to a bigger integrating sphere. Like a big styrofoam cooler.

You start to run the risk of melting the diffusers in the TA Lumen Tube.

No problem…sorry i dont have any measerment stuff…DONT WANT ANY NEITHER…WILL MAKE ME CRAZY.but i got a DX80 TO COMPARE.

No problem. DX80 is flooder while R90C is thrower. But we still can roughly know how well R90C perform by comparing side by side.

I think that the best measurement is this comparison with the DX80.

The DX80 Throws great…more then anybody should need…i do want the R90C…might get that in a couple weeks…

hope I get mine soon

+1000.
I also believe that if we have a DX80,we don’t need a MS12,but we can think bying a R90C.

Im confused, light is claimed over 50k lumens, that to me is a bit low? i know even if u take into account loss of light etc its still a bit low too me and false marketing imo…. the actual lumens on turbo would be interesting to get.

Or do u mean in a perfect calibrated tube that can handle that much lumens it would show near those 50k ? then i understand.

In my head, comparing my GT on the 3.5” lumen tube, I would expect it’s real output to be 40k-45k lumen if you could get all of the light into the tube. It’s just a wild guess, but it makes sense to me.

It’s very simple how they get away with it. It’s because nobody enforces or checks them. They can pretty much say whatever they want and there’s no real consequences.

Publishing these specifications for output and waterproofness is all done as a courtesy, like on a handshake deal. There are no rules and regulations. They can’t be held accountable if it doesn’t live up to those specs.

Its prob the better choice and cheaper…but i wanted the MS12.NOW…lol…
