John do you happen to know if easy to replace lens on Thrunite tn42 v2? I was applying a yellow tint film to lens w heat gun and it cracked. I've seen bunch of ppl lighting fires with these monster lights, figured a heat gun would fine but somehow it cracked it
Perfect engineering isn’t right I got it too, and suddenly the display said that it was charging while it wasn’t. It’s now back in China. But it’s a really big hassle to get it repaired. It has been there now for over 6 months But the flashlight is indeed a blast!
Awsome video, thanks for the discount link. Was going to order the dt70, but after this video and the link, $100 more for double the power and batteries, had to go with the dx80..mahalo...Bill
Absolutely right! Even nitecore tm9k and others... also got problems!!! but just this some retarded reviewers will say imalent quality bad la and why does DX80 more on Flood rather than spot come on use common sense bruh it is 32k lumens what do u expect of it unless you yourself go buy cheap budget flashlight for spot only plus not that bright enough then compare can it take over DX80 brightness. Firstly DX80 is super strong light that can spread with combination flood and spot very well this thing can see entire in front of darkness to daylight like a stadium! price of course is expensive if waste of money not worth it can't afford it then don't talk so much. Yes DX80 will heat up very hot if stay quite long using turbo mode unlike those lower 8k lumens likely won't have any issues. Yes it will definitely heat up but not that really fast soon it will also u must know there's are few top company such as the Imalent ,Fenix ,Wuben ,Acebeam , Magicshine , Gemini Titan , Cateye , Lupine and many more..... All around the world companies create neither flashlight or bike light they are trying their best on their high quality Flashlight.
dang thing can be used in helicopters. I'm already in awe with 4000 lumen max output on my klarus xt21x. I can only imagine how 32k lumens would look like
Subscribed bro..i also have some awesome monster-lights...(Supbeam,Acebeam,Thrunite...thanx...u're flashlight-revieuws are awesome...u made me think to buy also some Imalent-monsters...wow...thanx again sir.
That thing is a mule! An uber expensive, eye scorching mule LoL.. The beam shots are insane.. Who needs a weapon in the house if you own a DX80. Just point that in there face-problem solved LoL.. Great review as always Charles!
Charles - your reviews are great. Thanks for doing them. Question: Do you remember an LED designer/manufacturer (competitor to CREE, Lumileds, Nichia, Osram, etc.) company based in Pleasanton (or somewhere in the East Bay Area) called Bridgetech? (may be spelling it wrong). I'm just trying to find out what happened to that company. Thanks, -John
Hey, Charles. I purchased an lr40r based on your review and I'm looking to pick up something new with a bit more power. How does the dx80 compare? Is 32k noticeably brighter than the 11k on the lr40r?
Yes its a power house. Just remember this will cycle down when on turbo to 13k lumens which will still be brighter that the Fenix. Thanks for watching!
Hello Charles. Concerning this light in Turbo you mentioned to Peter Chatman that you had this running at 32000 lumens at just under 13 minutes in 41 degree weather. A few paragraphs down you mentioned to The Omfgorz that it lasted 5 minutes in the cool weather on Turbo. Would you please clarify? I am about to pull the trigger on this or the Acebeam x45. I am interested in run-time at higher lumens and this is very important to me. Thank you
Typos happen. The runtime is about 15 minutes. The light will step down to 13k lumens but can run at that level until batteries are depleted. I did a review of the x45 and its a nice light but runtimes are not as good if you're looking for the highest sustained light output then never use Turbo as a guideline when shopping for a flashlight. Thanks for watching!
Charles I've watched at least a dozen of your reviews lately and was wondering if you still like the Nitecore TM28 the best of all your flashlights? I know you have mentioned in other reviews you like the Quad light layout best in terms of flashlight design. Is that because it offers the best compromise in terms of size, light output and weight? Thank you.
Peter Chatman This light has excellent heat dissipation. Handle will only get slightly warm on the 13000 lumen output. 32000 lumen output is insane! Join my Facebook group forgive aways etc. at Flashaholics Anonymous. Thanks for watching!
In my tests it ran 32000 lumens at just under 13 minutes in 41° weather outside! Batteries were still good and still ran the light for quite a while afterwards. Thanks for watching!
WOW - that is cool. 13 minutes is a reasonably good mark at such high lumens. The thing I hate about downscaling is that 3 minutes is not really what I'd call 32,000 lumens usable whatsoever (useless), but 13 -15 minutes is. Thanks for posting and giving me a reply.
Hi and thanks for this video. Sry for my bad English but I have a small question 😏 For you, what's you prefer between Olight marauder x7r and this Imalent dx80? Thanks a lot for you r answer.
how many charge cycles can be expected with this, i read on the samsung 30q batteries that after 250 cycles it will only charge to 70%. i also email imalent to find out when the separate battery pack can be purchased and did not receive a response. do you know on either of these questions because that will determine if i will purchase this beast. thank you for your great reviews you are most helpful.
M Wills You can make contact with them on Facebook. 30Q cells have a 500 cycle life if charged at 500mAh or less. The wall charger is 19v at 2300mAh which will charge the pack from 25% to 100% in 6 hours. So it really depends on how often you charge it. If you charged it everyday then it should last 17 months... But if you are like me my light lasts a couple of weeks under normal use before needing to charge it which means the battery pack should last much longer. Thanks for watching!
your right i guess im just a numbers person and like having backup batteries. i can get it on banggood.com with expedited shipping for $216.95 dont think i can pass that up. it was between this and the x45 but this thing just looks like it eats the x45 for lunch. thank you for the quick responses man.
superdacoolman If you want the best thrower then the TM38...if you want the best flood light then the DX80 is the best choice at this time. Thanks for watching!
Hi, Charles, I got one of these on the way and I read the early ones had some issues I also read that they got it figured out and the new ones are ok is this true? by the way, your video was awesome.
Just got the dx80 in and was surprised by the neutral white tint. Every video I have watched seemed to show cool white washing everything in its path out but not the case with mine. I like the more neutral color anyways but that's a bit odd to me. Any thoughts or is it more of a warm tint in person?
M Wills Yes its more of a 5k in my sample as well which is what I prefer over all but Cool White is my second favorite specially in throwers. Thank for watching!
no there is not. its a perfect mix between the two. i have a bunch of flashlights and this is just slightly more of a white tint than my olight x7 in nw.
how much is this bro? i'm from indonesia? how can i get this light monster? cause there's no body sell this light in indonesia..thx before...thumbs up for your review...
Hi charles I need your help with imalent dx80. I have owned this flashlight for 5 years and now I have tested the lighting at 5000 lumens, it lasted half an hour and the battery ran out. I think the batteries are dead. How can it be replaced. Can I open it and replace it manually?

Hey guys i am new with flashlights and i have a question, to blind temporaly an intruder is better a long throw flashlight (>1000 m) or a high lumen one (>25000) ? Which flashlight is better to blind temporaly two or more people at 1-3 m from you (A long range or a high lumen) or what i should iconsider is just the width of the beam? thanks
Any flashlights with a 1000 lumens of output and medium throw would do. Specialy if you are in the dark and shine that to your attacker. I suggest the m1x striker from Olight. It has a strike bezel and an output of 1000 lumens. Or the new ones like the m2r or m2t warrior also from Olight. I hope this helps. 😀👍🏻
It depends on what size and output you want to carry around with you. As for size the smallest TK72R , then the DX80 for light output but not a small light. As for Acebeam I don't have that model. Thanks for watching!

Well if money is no option and you don't mind size or weight then I would get the MS12, but if you want smaller and less costs then the DX80 is still an amazing light. Thanks for watching!
