Indeed, wise selections and clever move by Imalent, certainly improves their chances of getting a detailed review. I hope for Imalentās sake the Light is actually good great as these guys arenāt afraid to speak their honest mind! Maybe on a positive twist, we might end up with a load more independent giveaways by some of these kind reviewers; as they would do so out of true generosity and without an ulterior motive.
Imalent should be transparent with their selection criteria and save us all the bother. Seriously what was the point in the questions - was it supposed to be fun or something? It obviously made no difference to who was chosen. One entry on CPF was actually entirely joke answers (Non-rechargeable, 26650/2AA, Cree MK-R High CRI, 1467,82 lumen). I look forward to that review the most.
Then again, perhaps some of us just misunderstood the point of what was happening hereā¦
Some people will see this post as a āpoor-loserā or ābad-sportā, but nothing can really be further from the truth. I am absolutely delighted for the winners and happily look forward to their reviews as always. The reason I felt the need to post at all it because regardless of the winners, I think the race/competition should always be fair, honest and transparent. Especially when conducted by a seller, store or brand, who by their very relationship with the customer will be operating with some extra purpose; brand visibility, store marketing, new release, stock clearance, etc.
I can see from some of the posts above that there are others who feel similarly.
Imalent may very well have lost some supporters or potential customers with how they conduct themselves. Next time please just be up-front with the purpose, donāt pretend itās some sort of equal-opportunity giveaway, and instead simply ask for reviewers. Itās either an open giveaway (where the answers donāt matter), or a competition (where the answers count); it canāt be both.
Hope this doesnāt ruffle too many feathers; just my opinion. Iām not an arse really.
6. If you can do flashlight reviews or you have time to take some good pictures or videos, let us know several of your history reviews or videos, you will have priority to get the chance
Wouldnāt call it rigged, but biased. I think Imalent entered the game from a different perspective than the rest of us (proās and non-proās alike). Which is their prerogative, because: he who pays the piper, calls the tune. But it would have been more transparant if they just asked for experienced reviewers.
Iām not afraid to admit that I got a bit giddy like a schoolgirl to see my name in the list! I tend to be an unlucky guy, and with a tight budget situation, this win/luck/high will hold off my addiction for a while. =P
Iām not a professional reviewer by any means, but if my mention of possibly being able to take a few great photos puts me in the same league as some of the awesome reviewers across BLF and CPF, then Iām humbled.
Charging station that charges one bare 18650 and inductively charges the flashlight? Or, because the blue light seems to be an oddly less informative indicator compared to the red, does that mean the holster just holds the flashlight while you have to take out the battery to charge in the other slot?
āModeā for different charging currents/speeds?
Where does USB fit in?
Whatās the pin/hinge for on the top+back? That seems like an odd direction for the charging station to flip up if it were mounted on a flat surface, e.g. at the outlet.
I am sorry for my late response but because we were unable to get XM-L2 U4 LED from Chinese supplier, we have to purchase from foreigner country, and it just arrived. We need a few more days to test them before shipping.
So all shipment will be ready only August 16th. Sorry for all the inconvenience.
I am without enough time to visit different forums every day, so email would be preferred. Our email address: sales@imalent.com
Shipment already made to our carrier today and we will have tracking numbers tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I will email or send by SKYPE the tracking numbers as soon as I have.
To show our apoligize for the delay, we decided to give all of you DM21 LK kit instead of just DM21, that means, you will get, DM21 flashlight, IMALENT 2600mAh 18650 battery, and HMD10 three in one holster, which can be used as flashlight holster, power bank to charge the spare 18650 and cell phone, so it is also a charger.
