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

Ok, that could be it as well. Just assumed it was glue :)

I had assumed they made the fans easily replaceable by the customer in case one of them should stop working. Imalent could simply send a new fan to the customer which they could easily change as opposed to the customer having to ship their light all the way back to China and then ship it back to the customer again. Is this not the case?

I think it’s fine if the fans are good quality type. I don’t remember having to replace my CPU fan which was on 24hr for years. These two fans are on in short interval.

Imalent has made 1000 watts 100k lumens stock light. Don’t think they would allow user to open and repair it easily as that could be dangerous.

This light and it’s fans are supposed to handle water immersion. CPU fans don’t.

The fans should also be low voltage, so no real safety concerns.

Knowing that the fans are still not easily swapped (I thought the MS18 fixed this issue) my opinion of the design has gone down greatly. It is unfortunate.

It is rated IP56 so it is not submersible.

What I mean is get wet. Like rained on. This is much tougher than what CPU fans go through so I do not expect them to last very long.

This was Imalents chance to make a nice, user replaceable fan in case it has any issues, but they chose to not do that. When I first saw the pictures of this light I was glad they made the fans easy you swap out. Now I am disappointed. That is all.

Well, my 9year old Panasonic full hd camcorder fan is still working. It has quite a lot outdoor use. And I don’t think this light is useful during rain. It is heavy and expensive. Last thing I want to use it in the rain. It is for fun bursting 100k lumens into darkness. If military or police force ever bought it for night tasks, don’t think they will repair it themselves.

I found a video about ms18&x70 from a chinese video website . 视频去哪了呢?_哔哩哔哩_bilibili

He did good test and used drone for beamshots. :+1:

Great beamshots. Really shows the difference between the X70 and MS18. MS18 is impressive.

I like that video a lot! I wonder how long it took to make it. I've been thinking of doing a video review besides my written review, but I'm afraid it will take too much time, and I probably need other tools (remote microphone).


heat the ballon

He’s uploaded the video on youtube

always use the lockout feature!

Yes sir. I always do with my ms12 and r90c.

I made my first video of the production version of MS18. I speak in hungarian but it has full english subtitles.
Hope you will like it. I teared it to multiple parts. Don’t want to make it too long. This part 1 contains unboxing, first thoughts, user interface, how it works and some teaser blinks of what is next.

ZozzV6, really nice video review you have created.
Ya, strange that 10k doesn’t have active cooling feature, maybe Imalent set the temperature threshold quite high to preserve battery.

Thank you!
No. User manual said that only the 22000 lumens or above levels have the fans automatic activation. They told me they could hold in hand after 20 minutes in 10K lm. Maybe they less sensitive to heat than me :slight_smile: I will try to measure heating up in 5K and all above levels and monitoring temperature but I will stop if it reach 70°C on the head.

If you guys are considering buying one of these new Imalent lights, make sure you get in touch with Martin from m4dm4x.com. He will hook you up.

Just got mine, my vid will be up later Today.
