53,000 Lumen + ACTIVE Colling Imalent MS12!!!!!!!

Hi all,

I had the privilege of being one of the first to try this light and I have to say it’s pretty amazing. This light is so bright even as jaded as many of us are it breaks though that with WOW factor.
The active cooling is a neat idea, and I ran some tests to see how it works/performs.

Hi Matt,
I must admit I haven’t had the time to watch your latest video yet but those teaser pictures of your videos (like this one with eyes wide open and this “wow-face” of yours) always makes me grin. :smiley: I really like the way you explain everything with a good sense of humour. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this light.
Cheers, Thomas

Thanks for your efforts in making this review.

Too bad the 15000lm is not sustainable. If the test started from Turbo 53000lm, i wonder will it be same or worse. I think the fan is effective but at low efficiency though. The airflow of the fan seems random, maybe it’s better if it’s pointing in horizontal?

Thank you for making the video… you are the best.

great video Matt

Beautiful video!

But the light is standing in a room with say 25°C temperature.I think that the use of this light is not in such a room.It is to use it outside even moving it so there is a better ventilation.

Well, it is ANSI NEMAFL1 spec, so it is not really sustainable lumen output measurement but the lumen output measurement at 30s after switching on. In this case, 15000lumens should be after stepping down from 53000lumens. Just that when Imalent publish 3+78minutes for 53000-15000lumens, most of us think of it is sustainable 15000 lumens for 78 minutes.

In this review, Matt started at 15000lm and MS12 external temperature kept increasing and reached about 70 degree celsius after about 20 minutes, if it started from 53000lumens temperature might have been higher after 20 minutes. I don’t think it is reliable to use it for 78 minutes for every sessions in long run, of course user can claim warranty to Imalent when anything broken due to that extreme usage. My concern is also about the temperature when I say it is not sustainable.

Using it in the field might be different though and depends on environment temperature and wind. Just to point out the fan is not efficient enough to keep the temperature lower in this review.

another awesome review Matt! :slight_smile: its scary to see how the lowly flashlight has evolved to the point of a handheld version of an aircraft monster search light in just a couple years. I an still impressed with my (now dim in comparison) DX80 32000 lm EDC pocket light.

Your videos are the best!!! R90C next??? :smiley:

Entertaining video as always :slight_smile:

Personally I don’t plan on wielding this kind of a flashlight, but it is a good attempt from Imalent (despite its not complete success in reaching their target numbers) - it is enormous in every regards (price included - so let’s hope for a better quality control - we’ll see that).

I wonder what kind of lumen numbers it will make if the XHP70 is swapped with XHP70.2

I don’t know… if we use xhp70.2, we might encounter green tint… not sure…

Yea green tint would be horrible. If we can get some A or D tints that would be sweet.

Yeah but, what is its colour rendering index? :-)

Great demonstration, btw.

Cheers ^:)
