We told Imalent to lower the current to 2A per led on the TS bevsuse over that not much lumen gains but more heat. And maybe it will be only 28000 lumens but more sustainable runtime in turbo.
Outside in 10°C and heavy wind they keep up very well but inside in the room they get hot within a minute. And when powered off still warm after 10 minutes. We did not measured stepdown times and what is the sustainable output for long time because we did not have that much tim to charge them multiple times for those measurements.
Thanks Martin and ZozzV6 for the efforts. Imalent really listens and improve their giant lights.
Looks like hardware performance wise they are excellent, hope they get the firmware and user interface right for final product.
I wonder do they plan to have momentary mode. It will be really fun to switch on and off them quickly, like man made lightning.
Thanks for the video guys! Man you look TIRED! Clearly shows how excited you were to power through without sleep!
lol it definitely seems like the cooling situation was vastly improved because that thing sounds like a hair dryer when the fans are on! In fact that cooling system appears to blow away anything Acebeam has shown so far! (X70 production or pre-production prototypes)
After watching the video I’m definitely more excited! Still a little wary but from what he showed so far it really looks like Imalent is trying HARD to listen to the community feedback and make significant changes in the directions we’re asking for.
Given that the MS12 production version had barely any QC issues especially when compared to the DX80 it seems like they’ve really taken their past mistakes seriously.
If lumen measurements keep coming back with less than a 5% difference between stated and claimed….
I won’t be able to NOT BUY ONE Lol
People ask me why I need a 32 000 lumen DX80… lol now to try and explain why my 32 000 lumen DX80 isn’t enough… ha ha ohhh man
I wanted to ask you about your other comment that really confused me?
I saw it was clarified as the MT03 TA not the MT09R but was the number a typo? did you mean it had 11200 lumens not 112 000 right? Or am I missing something? Also even more confused because the MT03 should be a lot higher than 11 200 and the MT09R sounds about right at 11 200… lol like I said, I’m confused
MT09R was a typo. 112000 was MS18 with the higher multiplier we first got based on a weaker flashlight (Convoy L2). So 97966 is our weakest guesstimate for the MS18 based on MT03 xalculated multiplier because it has more close beam pattern to MS18.
we measured the flashlights in the tube and the integrating bathroom. comparing those tube lumens to the bathroom number gives a correction factor. multiply this factor by the MS18 bathroom number gives MS18 Lumen
2 Convoy L2 (xhp50.2 and luxeon) and a DS20 gave a factor of 15.6
ZozzV6 Haikelite resulted in a 13.55 factor
we took this because it gave the lower!! result
that way the MS18 was tested with 97966 lumen compared to the haikelite
I’m wondering if ZozzV6 has ever used the above methods for measuring the output of the MS12 or if he has access to an MS12 that he could test?
Thanks to VOB who made a full 6” lumen tube we know the output for the MS12 which we could use as a comparison to the calculated results of the MS18.
My understanding is that ZozzV6 only has a 4” lumen tube which doesn’t fully fit the massive head of the MS18 which is why you also used results from a ceiling bounce test to verify the numbers?
