That is my problem with all of this lumen war going on right now. It is awesome to see competition, competition pushes innovation which is good. However with this huge lumen monsters they have to be near the limits of what 18650 is capable of on terms of output. Also this light reminds me of the X80 GT, huge lumen that last 29-30seconds.
I wish manufacturers would list max and sustained lumen output. AdventureSport did a great video comparing the Thrunite TN36 Limited vs X80GT and by far the X80GT won brightest however the TN36 was able to double lumen output sustained vs the X80GT.
This is all coming from a guy with the flashlights in the sig so I do like big lumen but 90k is wow lol
I need to give credit where it is due. The Imalent DX80 was the only flashlight in which the law enforcement (once by helicopter and once by patrol car) immediately paid attention and investigated with zeal every time I turned it on. I ended up cease using flashlights for nearly one year, and sold all my DX80’s entirely. I would call Imalent DX80 the Master of Disaster of flashlights. Crazy lumens matter.
If this sounds like the right super torch for you, I would recommend. :+1:
I mean some day it will be portable and affordable, but definitely not today
This flashlight is only for the top few of flashlight enthusiasts that love lumens (as opposed to the ones that love lux :P)
so 5000OTF lumens per emitter
5500 LED lumens on P2 bin this is roughly 7@6V
lets say 95% efficient driver
so we get 800W drawn from the batteries
this means 100W per VTC6
even on just 20A drawn from a fresh cell we get only about 75W
A 4000k 70.2 is running at 135lm/W at 5k lm.
As with almost all flashlights acebeam will probably be using a 5700K or cooler LED which will get higher lm/W.
Assuming something closer to 150lm/W the light will be drawing ~600W to get 90k lumens.
