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

That’s an amazing video, positioning of the lights seems to be the exact same in every photo and the way they transition is also great to see the differences.

10/10

It is interesting how lumen race and lumen ratings have escalated in past few years. I remember times when a 5000lm flashlight was considered an overkill flooder, and it is not so long ago!

But it is worth pointing out is how poorly a human eye responds to a stimulus of lumens in these high numbers. In this case it means only a small visual improvement from 60000 lm to 100000 lm. The video above shows it clearly. Some say it is because of a logarithmic relation between a stimulus and perception of brightness, which means the difference in brightness { = perception} between 2 stimuli is diminishing and not proportional when the lumens {= stimulus} reach high values.

Ten years ago there were comments stating 700 lumens was “scorching”. Now we can get that in something the size of our thumb.

The logarithmic scale applies to hearing too.

How does the R90c, with four 20700 batteries, have 63whr and the R90ts/MS18 with eight 21700 batteries only has 92whr?

Well, someone did a typo…

Measured 4510 lux at 10 meter throw for the MS18. Very close to Imalent’s beam distance spec of 1350 meters.
Measured 2970 lux at 10 meter throw for the X70.

When did you buy the light please? I see that Banggood says preorder.If they come with stock,then I try to buy one if there is a coupon then.

I bought it from Neal. There were coupons available but not any more for the MS18 at banggood. It is available at Banggood. Processing time 1 to 3 business days.

nice you got the MS18!
