Review IMALENT MS08 - 3*21700 - 34,000lm.

The beam is alluvial in nature with a remarkable light power to illuminate at short and medium-high distances.

What does alluvial mean pls? Yes I’ve googled; still scratching my head :-). Thanks for the thorough review.

It means floody (from “water floods”)
Try ‘alluvium’, I guess it is a more correct term in English.

Yes, we often use this term to mean that it covers a wide angle with the beam of light.

I add to the review a test, on the temperature, made using a thermal camera. The test was done with and without fans of the protective shell after 10 minutes with the MS08 in Turbo.
The Imalent MS08 can always be held in the hand thanks to the ventilated shell.

Imalent MS08 without ventilation.

Imalent MS08 with fans On.

Regarding the 1st picture, because having the shell in place without turning the fan on seems like it actually would hurt ventilation and has the opposite effect of raising temperature, it would be interesting to have a third thermal shot of light on without shield? Your review is already excellent and quite complete, I’m just trying to make it more so .

Thanks again for the very nice review; it got my attention in this light. Another question pls: I had a Thrunite T2 with Cree 70.2 “neutral white” (vs “cool white” version) and it’s overwhelmingly green; have you noticed any bothersome green tint? Or is it even noticeable at such high brightness?

This was only a 10 minute test but not think you damage the ventilation by keeping the fans off. Think about when the battery runs out and you no longer have ventilation. The maximum temperature reached without the protective case is roughly what you see in the first photo.
Regarding the beam, i didn’t particularly notice a green tint in the beam.

I obviously tripped over my words, I didn’t mean the fans do nothing - think I was trying to say an aluminium shroud wouldn’t trap the heat the same as plastic and would actually heat sink as well IMO. 1lumen has some good info on this light too.

I know of course 1lumen, it does some good technical reviews. Regarding the Imalent MS08, I think the protective shell with the two fans is innovative. I prefer this to a handle and in any case the cooling, even with its limits, lowers the temperature of the head, benefiting the electronics.

La tua recensione è stupenda! Non solo è completa tecnicamente ma hai anche fatto delle foto esaustive che da sole dicono già tutto.Sono assolutamente d’accordo con te che le maniglie ormai fanno parte della preistoria e che Imalent abbia avuto un’idea geniale e spero di vedere presto altre torcia con questo involucro. Volevo anche fare un passo indietro circa quello che avevo scritto riguardo alle prestazioni dell’MS08 paconfrontata con l’Astrolux EC06 qui su BLF sul topic riguardante l’EC06. Con le batterie con cui viene venduta effettivamente all’avvio MS08 è più debole di EC06 ma ho sostituito le batterie Imalent con 3 Vapcell T42 che sono le batterie che usavo con EC06 e il risultato si è ribaltato questa volta Imalent è risultata all’avvio più luminosa di EC06 quindi è tutta una questione relativa a che tipo di batterie adottiamo.

Your review is great! Not only is it technically complete but you have also taken some exhaustive photos that by themselves already say it all.I absolutely agree with you that the handles are now part of prehistory and that Imalent had a brilliant idea and I hope to see more flashlights soon with this wrapper. I also wanted to take a step back from what I had written about the performance of the MS08 compared to the Astrolux EC06 here on BLF on the EC06 topic. With the batteries it is actually sold with at startup MS08 is weaker than EC06 but I replaced the Imalent batteries with 3 Vapcell T42 which are the batteries I used with EC06 and the result flipped this time Imalent resulted on startup more luminous of EC06 so it’s all a question of what type of batteries we use.

It would be very useful to have a lumen measurement with different batteries… can someone do it? I will get mine in a few days…
