Imalent MS18 with 100,000Lumen and R90TS with 36,000Lumen

Cut to the part where Mat tests these lights and they only do 67000 lumens.

It's for bragging rights (marketing) and for a super niche market (?). I'm more concern with the repairability; someone on the board opened the MS12 up and members agree that it's not repair friendly at all.

LOL and it drops by 5000 lumens every 2 seconds until it stabilizes at 10 000

I watched his test of the R90C which showed a 25% difference between claimed and actual lumens.

I haven’t seen his results on the MS12. Does anybody know if this light has been tested yet?

You forgot to mention how poor is the emitter reflowing !

This is starting to sound like straight-up Chinese lumens. Like when the "Atomic Beam" flashlight was getting advertised with lumen numbers as high as 10,000.

I do agree that beam intensity is more impressive than lumens past a certain point. There have been a few incredible pictures of the GT/GT70 taken from a distance that have truly impressed me. A mass flooder at such distances wouldn't impress at all.

Thanks!

Once you’ve achieved enough lumens to provide usable spill then beam intensity is where it’s at! Lumintop GT4 Lumintop GT4 Lumintop GT4

LOL unless your primary goal is to blind yourself at the same time, then 100 000 lumens with tiny little OP reflectors doesn’t work.

Does anyone remember the x65vn2870!? Here’s what 100 000 lumens actually looks like! (no reflectors though so the MS18 should at least have more throw)

But seriously, the amount of light coming back at you will be blinding!

Two days left! I also will be there at IWA. Can’t wait to see the new flashlights!
:money_mouth_face:

Please don’t forget to check the ones that fit in our “normal” pockets and have “modest” outputs too, they are still flashlights :innocent: :smiling_imp:
I know you and M4D M4X will have a great time :beer:

Wow 100k lumens from a company that doesn't honor their warranties!

I am in for at least 2 OF EACH if QC are non problem.

MS18

  • 8pcs 21700 cells in batterypack with integrated charging (confirmed)

I wonder how many drivers got startled or distracted by that video.

This is why I tell my friends that very powerful flashlights are not kid toys. Not even for irresponsible teenagers like that kid sounded.

LOL!!! V54 is 33 years old! I guess he has a youngsters voice!!!

Intersate #5 is about 400 yards away

I wonder….

If I put my hand in front of the Q8, i get blinded. What happens if 100,000 lumens reflects off a bright surface? Will t here be an eyeball replacement program?

Look, I have no problem in pushing the envelop, but I wonder if pushing the extremes will start to get political attention. All we need is a few accidents caused by stupid people to get the general public thinking it’s a dangerous problem and subsequent political attention.

Just saying….

OK……he’s an adult. But the issue of driver safety still stands.

There is no way 100,000 lumens of concentrated light suddenly comes on from their side and the drives wont be distract.

Questionaire at bloodbank goes; Why are you selling your blood? I must get Imalent MS18 flashlight.

@Spartan

-He has been doing it there for over 10 years. No complaints yet.

-The light is only on for several seconds

-THAT amount of lumens is a rarity as far as testing

- a vast majority of his lights are tested up in the tree tops.

-I do not think there is a lot to worry about UNLESS he left it on for an extended period of time which he can’t becuase of heat build up and battery depletion. :smiley:

The high lumen light Vinh was demonstrating in that video wasn’t concentrated. It was floody.

At a distance, a 100,000 lumen floody light may look dimmer than a 1,000 lumen light with a big reflector. At a distance all that matters is lux, not lumens.

And I have seen a lot of youtube videos of people testing flashlights, other then this one, none have been done off a major highway.

Case in point….

Further…

Even when i was testing my new toy, a mere 5000 lumen Q8, I got in the car and found an end street in an industrial area. Nobody gave me the right to shine it through someones window…or passing cars.

Just saying….
