Translation:“Broken off,I find that the 2 pieces stick together.What the hell is the design.”

Thanks for the translation 59. The R90C has nothing to do with this thread, but to answer his question, the head of the R90C has a small allen screw above each lantern, probably for servicing and ease of assembly; you can see in his photo that each screw is hanging down onto the two lanterns (which read R90C). You can’t tell if they were stripped or broken from the presumed long drop, but if the torch still works, they should replace those allen screws.

It would be highly unlikely for the threads to strip since they’re an order of magnitude harder than the aluminum they’re threaded to. It just appears snapped because the screws are counterbored into the head.

being stripped from the head is what I said, so that includes the female threads in the head, but likely or not you also can’t assume they were damaged either like Jason said earlier…maybe the guy took it apart to modify it and wanted to complain about it because he just didn’t like how it was made, no that never happens here, he gave no context. He only served to stir up trouble, like help is needed there. This is exactly why most manufacturers just put out their products and don’t really care about this forum, everyone here wants to control their design, description, marketing strategy, prices, and policies. It’s become much worse that feedback and suggestions. Give an inch, take a mile.

Only responding to your quote bout needing to replace the SHCS…

It’s very easy though to accuse the end consumers… Give the manufacturers an inch they take a mile. Except here in the US if you were a business giving customers 71% of what you promise you’d be done in a year. Here if a manufacturer does that everyone praises them for being innovative and at the cutting edge!

hey guys

just came home

I slept less than 10 hours the last 3 days and will take tonight off and cut/publish the video and pictures tomorrow..

since it matters :

ZozzV6 measured 97700 Lumen compared to his MT09R (112000 compared with a L2 xhp50.2)

throw was calculated 1.1km (measured @20m)

they did it!

[nokoff]

O SNAP

Can’t wait to hear more!

[M4D_M4X]

same settings

MS18 (97700+ Lumen)

R90TS (30800+ lumen )

[California_Prepper]

Got to give credit where due. That is seriously impressive.

[nokoff]

I really don’t know yet if the throw distance on the R90TS is any better than my R90C, though lumens are definitely “doubled” based on realistic figures, so that’s good, but at the same time the R90C has close spill. I really like it because I can see my entire yard and the ridge behind me, but some may not like all that spill. It will be interesting to hear some opinions on the the throw, the spill, and the efficacy of the objects at distance, and photo comparison to an R90C. I know Martin has both

Like I said a month ago about these high power lights, they don’t have CPU style cooling to keep temps down, sustained output will be rubbish. In other words these lights will just be toys.

[hIKARInoob]

Two on my wish list.

And thanks a lot for the info Martin!

If you said it then why keep saying it. Are you a broken record?!? Honestly I’m getting sick of hearing it. If it’s rubbish then move the fuck along.

Relax “nokoff” its not that serious its just a toy, like a video game for kids.

@Adhara

Looks like the GT4 is getting punked

Huh? Two different lights. Very different designs and price ranges.

@M4D M4X

ZozzV6 measured 97700 Lumen compared to his MT09R (112000 compared with a L2 xhp50.2)

This is ceiling bounce comparisons or what exactly?

[SKV89]

Curious what lumens he assumed the MT09R to be. Hakelite over spec the lumens on the MT09R. If this even makes 80k lumens, it would be really amazing since all flashlight manufacturers seem to use a reference that is 20% higher than the Maukka/ANSI standard.

Is Imalent planning to release a NW version.

[BlueSwordM]

@SKV89

Is Imalent planning to release a NW version?

Yeah right.

[DENGOH]

MS18 : 98k lumens 350kcd
R90TS: 30k lumens 800kcd
Which one should I get?

My two combined MT03 has over 32k lumens but they can only do about 75kcd. MS18 350kcd is very impressive too.

But I think R90TS will be more sustainable in terms of heat and power consumption.

[JasonWW]

@DENGOH

But I think R90TS will be more sustainable in terms of heat and power consumption.

Is it fan cooled?

[BlueSwordM]

Wait for the GT4 to come out for a final decision between it and the R90TS.

[DENGOH]

Have to ask Martin or ZozzV6 whether R90TS has fan cool. I would say it should since externally they looks 100% identical. Imalent will save cost if having similar parts for these two lights.

As an example, Skylumen/Vinh was brought up in this thread to compare to the MS18 output by a friend of Vinhs who appears IMO to shill for him every chance they get. I have had multiple poor experiences with Skylumen, they’re no longer even on my radar.

Probably talking about me! That is ok,I speak the truth backed up by others and my experience.So it is EASY to use V54 as an example,and I do!

,Because his lights have MORE output than these manufacturers do, as they should.I simply pointed out that he crossed[legitimately] the 100K lumen mark before the aforementioned manufacturers.

You obviously are not fond of him[expressed above], so it is no surprise that if someone else is, it seems to bother you.

100% an argumentative troll and shill, BLF was a better place before he unfortunately joined us

[SKV89]

I don’t understand how he is a troll. Some people are passionately loyal to a brand and that is not uncommon. Not sure why that is a problem. Skylumen does make good lights as I own a bunch of them.

He never posts (gloats) without comparing stock lights to his overpriced V54 modded lights. He is a shill and a nuisance
