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

agreed. CW 70.2s just wash everything out until it looks like a frozen wonderland

The thing is, I think it’s not output they want to sacrifice.

It’s cost. CW LEDs not only are easily available, but are also cheaper.

Significantly cheaper as many lighting companies actually get rid of the light stocks, and the LEDs get reused somewhere else, like in flashlights.

I think Imalent did rrlease a NW version of the MS12 afterwards. However, they probably wonder why it didnt sell as well as the CW version and decide to not make anymore NW versions. The problem is everyone who wants this light already bought the CW during initial release. They need to release both CW and NW simultaneously to see which is more preferred.

All i know about CW from my small output leds is they give a cold lonely feel over NW. But who knows with these levels of output.

The blue box reminds me of something you see with high end headphones. Good on em, going for that limited edition feel. Is it velvet or something? Personally id like a stainless case mirror polished with a fine subtle brushed look.

To my eyes the front view of the reflector looks gorgous on the r90 series.

Would be good if imalent offered custom colours. For a light like these.

here are the latest specsheets for the Imalent MS18 :

Sorry for the size...

posted with phone - I try to fix it later

What a beauty. Looks like easier to access the fan now.
I wonder the new battery pack can be used on MS12 and even R90C?

The battery packs are different diameters, so it is unlikely.

I looks like they have adapted a copper CPU cooler for the light. Good move. :+1:

In the IWA prototypes we counted 4 heat pipes in the heatsink.

Looks alot better than the MS12. I just wish they would release NW version during release and it will be perfect for me.

Ya most likely not.
That’s not good for customer who bought their older products. Imalent should standardize their battery pack, should save their cost in long term too. Who want to buy their old battery pack now?

Interest List closes SOON!!

Due to very limited stock vs. high demand I will send the final price only to people on the list.
Only who mails me to buy 100 % for the offered price immediately will get on a new list from where I randomize the order (if needed) who will get a code tomorrow to buy from the first batch. the others can place a pre-order after that (when supply is confirmed)

How do we get on the list? I’d like one of each the MS18 and r90ts

Can’t wait for a review of this light!

Hello my dear friend!

i just received the specsheets !

Ms18 ordered

:+1: Congratulations! :sunglasses: :beer:

I literally shouted out loud in the office when the notification popped up that I could place my order.

Now I can’t wait for it to ship. I’ve been scouting places I can go to take pictures.

Your addiction is more severe than many here. :smiley:

Oh it’s bad. I’ve bought a couple cameras, learned how to use adobe premiere pro, and am even saving-ish for a drone, mainly for flashlight photography because my cell phone camera just wasn’t cutting it anymore.
