The World's most powerful pocket light - Is it really 13,000 lumens though? Does it throw further than the advertised 324m? How does it handle the heat? Is it the usual IMALENT quality? How long does it hold Turbo? How does it compare to the Astrolux MF01 mini, Astrolux EC01 and Fireflies E07? Will it take other 21700's?

Looks like imalent has 25 supporters downvoting your honest review.
Thank you for the neutrality
Also, due to the lackluster turbo problem you finally got caught by your monsters 🙃😨😳😰👎💔🕚🌘🌑🌒📩❌✖🚮
Bummer about the turbo issue and that the output is not as stated. It looks like an excellent light, but there are clearly a few "bugs" for Imalent to work out.
@@benbraceletspurple9108 th-cam.com/video/r_cMLSS-Kz8/w-d-xo.html
i agree doesnt seem like a well thought out or engineered light, xhp70.2 x 3 its been done and even though high numbers on lumen is what sells.in real world usage it truly showed its faults,basically that a single xhp70 driven to capacity would do BETTER than this on top of that battery life is nil so is its 10k lumen brag(1 min) ,it appears awkward and top heavy and we will forget the several malfunctions it had in this test, the way it lost every side by side in throw comparisons and the enormous price tag, unless i was some imalent groupie i say PASS on this one and get astrolux mf01 mini with a shockli 26650 upwards of 6k+lumens and it will keep doing it for much more than 1 minute
That's the greatest review on a flashlight i have ever seen. Complete in every way.
Thanks. I try my best.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV which is the better light? , ms03 or ms03w?
@@markbeck3489 same light, different tints. Both are faulty.
I completely agree this is a masterpiece
Thank you for a very informative review. It’s got some punch for such a small flashlight. It’s a real pocket rocket! Hope they address the turbo issue. The only Imalent I own is the MS18 which as you know is totally insane but definitely not one for the back pocket! Really enjoyed this video and many of your previous ones too.
Appreciate the detailed review and photo comparisons with similar size lights!
Excellent and honest review. I love some good honesty. In fact this little dude is a mini MS18. Of course 100,000lm is something different but this 10,000+lm does exactly what its big brother does.
I expected it to glow reddish in the dark after using turbo.. and that you were running and crying with burn blisters...
Thanx for your insightful review. Informative and funny
Great job Matt! You put in a lot of working on that video.
When watching this I feel like I'm playing a first person video game. So good.
Nice to see the Astrolux EC01 can hold its own against lights that are 2x to 3x brighter! Nice review as always, keep up the good work!
EC01 is legendary for the price.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah
Thank you for the review! I somewhat expected it to be a little brighter, but maybe because it's all flood no throw. They should have used slightly deeper and smoother reflectors!
Nice video. I bought it. Fabulous light. Lumens are incredible!!
Great video. I ordered my MS03 a couple of months ago and it works perfectly. No turbo issues. Also they’ve updated the UI so it’s now 4 clicks for lockout and 3 clicks takes you to lowest brightness setting from any mode, including turbo. You can do 3 clicks from off too which ensures lowest brightness and overrides the memory.
I liked the music in your video.
Glad they finally fixed the dreaded red light Turbo issue!!
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Also have the MS06 and this has been updated in the same way. Obviously not good that there were these issues, but good to see that Imalent have made improvements.
Great atmosphere for awesome review. Love the thunder and rain.
Me too, wish I could review when the rain is heavier but I don't want to kill my camera or get a blurry picture.
You showed us some of its problems although simple to fix, we are so grateful for the non-biased and clear review.. Thats what makes you the best flashlight reviewer here in youtube. And wow! That has got to be the most compact 3 xhp70.2 powered flashlight so far. Cheers!!
A couple things...the MF01 looks to me to be the second brightest here and definitely has the most throw, which I’m glad to own, very happy with it.
I haven’t had good luck with the 2 IMALENT’s I have owned, but think I might want to give this one a chance and add it to my collection. Hope it’s not more than $100.
Hopefully they will fix those turbo issues by the time I get around to buying it.
Very good review and video👍
I just got mine today, I experienced the turbo issue, flashlight intermittently not going to Turbo. It lets me do it about 2-3 times before it begins to flash red, on the normal mode, the warning light turns red afterwards as if the battery is dying or notifying me to charge it.
I got the imalent dm70. Been running it for 2 years now. Been amazing. Might upgrade now to the ms03.
They are faulty
Hallo flashaholic, i want to ask, i have one MSO3, can i replace the imalent ms03 using a non protect battery like the samsung 30t which has been modified to be bottom top or not? because the default MS03 battery is only 10 amperes, while the Samsung 30T 35 amperes, please help answer, thank you
Just received both ms03 and LD70 mini, great products by imalet. Im here for suggestions for belt organisers that can fit ms03, most pouches Ive seen are too small for ms03
The astrolux MF01 for the win!!!
Do you know how can I use high drain unprotected cells such as 21700 Molicel P42A on the R30C or the R60C for more higher Lumen output than protected Imalent cells these flashlight comes with??I tried to use the P42A but it doesn’t seem to make battery’s top head pin and bottom contact to the light
And the included battery has a charge port? Making the battery longer? My olight 21700 batteries may not work in it?
Good review
Food for thought 👌👌👊
I was thinking about the fw21 from lumintop,
I would really like to know what the problems are with the immalent.
30 amps is really extreme for a 21700. I consider that a maxed out performance battery wise
My Nitecore tm9k has 9,500 lumens on turbo, it's like a huge wall of light and works great. I didn't like that I can't take the battery out of it, but hopefully it won't give me any problems.
I can confirm having the same issue with the MS03; the Turbo mode is frequently unavailable. And you’re correct, disconnecting, then reconnecting the battery is only a temporary fix. Pity because it’s potentially a very impressive little light.
Shouldn't happen on a £100+ flashlight, companies need to change who they send lights to for testing.
FLASHAHOLICS Agreed.
I wish all flaslights had adjustable focus with a lens and that kind of thing
Please do a review for the Imalent LD70. I really want that light. The LD10's button is very hard to push with one hand, and it's too small to hold.
I am not happy with my MS03 as well due to the Turbo mode not working consistently. I have reached out to Imalent support. Let's see what they have to say about it.
BGM(Background Music) - [Menag Jamprt Em(Yes Kez Tessa) : Album "Armenia- Heavenly Duduk, Armenian Duduk" 2016 ] or [Menak Jamport Em(Yes Kess Tessa) : Album "Armenia-Heavenly Duduk, Armenian Duduk" 2016] - Djivan Gasparyan(1928. 10. 12 ~ , Armenian musician and composer, He plays the duduk, a double reed woodwind instrument related to the orchestral oboe. Gasparyan is known as the "Master of the Duduk".)
Lol, what is with the fake noises near this supposed devil's head tree? And where in the world is this "tree"? :) Great Video btw, very detailed and exactly what anyone would want in a review.
PLEASE DO A REVIEW ON THE FENIX LR40R. Has 13000 lumens and can maintain that for more than just a few minutes. You can switch between the flood and spot light LED’s. Usb C charging. Comes with a special battery pack but can also use (4) 18650’s.
Awesome flashlight!
Excellent review. I'm trying to find a more complete, more feature-rich and more stylish flashlight than my Emisar D4S v2 Xpl hi, so far I haven't found it.
Guilherme yep love my D4S went for the XPL-HI 5000k
@@Luigisiv Perhaps a better option than the d4sv2 XPL-Hi is the D4Sv2 XP-L HD ... 😂
One small problem I though this flashlight had was that it would accidentally turn it on on your hoster or backpack, this was happening to me but this ingenious little flashlight has a solution, click the button 5 time rapidly and its lucks so it won't turn on by accident, than click it 5 more times to take it out of lock mode.

Wow Nice 👍
不知道跟acebeam的k40m比較會亮度差距很大嗎 想找體積小一點的來登山使用
You gotta love people in the comments being thankful for the unbiased neutral review. Unless, everyone that said that has the light already (but watching the review after buying it?) and has confirmed everything thing has said?
I happen to trust him. I believe he's unbiased, neutral and honest. No I cant prove any of it. See?
Great reviews. After Olight's flash sale 4 days ago my interest in flashlights has been rekindled. Double edged
sword as usual. Like 10,000,000 other US citizens I was laid off at the end of march due to covid. My trade is unfortunately entering a normal late summer earl fall business lull. Which makes finding another job even more difficult. So i have to closely watch my spending. If they do fix the lockout issue I'm in. I'll keep checking back. Cheers.
They also need to fix the UI. You can only go to strobe from Turbo which isn't ideal but Imalent say they'll sort it 😕
How many edc lights do I need? Every time I watch a new review on this channel, one more item is newly added to my wishlist.
3xXHP70.2, WHY?
Left thumbs up before I even started the video.
I also have the same problems with turbo on my imalent dm70. I stick to high mode and use turbo only sparingly.
I bought 10 pieces of imalent dm70 and only one of them that's still working. Imalent is not for a professional use
Music is Perfect and Magic!!
I removed the original audio as it was flagged up copyright 😔 this is just from the TH-cam sound library.
It wasn't until you did a 360° of Vanhalla that I genuinely understood why you called it "Vanhalla". Not surprised 3xXHP70.2 with a shallow reflector is all flood, but with that much LED die area I imagine the efficiency would be excellent.
One of the vans was towed away the other day, very sad. Tbh the Barnsley area is well known for white vans. There's a song on youtube about it.
Still ❤️ my E07 & PL47G2. Better throw.
it may be the brightest, but looks like the mf01 mini won all the comparisons, i love my mini most dont realize the mini can pull upwards of 17 amps at tailcap if given a proper high drain cell like the shockli 26650 and most of these test reviews on youtube skimp on battery because its small and it gets vastly under rated in these test, in your side by side comparisons (which are amazing btw) notice the house and tree in background MF01 mini was only light to illuminate at distance, my point is alot of these test are more battery comparisons than flashlight comparisons, 3x xhp70.2 sounds awesome but what battery in a singular form can truly wring all the performance out of such is a challenge,sure 10k lumens sounds awesome but if it does it for a single minute whats the point? who needs 10k lumens to see a puddle to walk? the mini mf01 will prove to be the superior light here,just dont skimp on the battery ;-)
The nitecore concept 2 is 6500 lumens but it has deeper reflectors so the throw should be better
Hi, thank you for the informative video. Is there a way that the light switch on at the lowest mode, ie take out the mode memory?
Not possible
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Thanks for the info 👍
RECOMmEND IT HIGHLY. ,, WOOAHHW YEAH , really IT's AWESOME
Nope. They are faulty.
good video but another dodgey light and the MFO1 mini hammers it on throw aswell think i will pass on that 1 cheers
You are the best! But you already know that... Quick question though... Can I use different type of 21700 battery on this flashlight? Like a normal unprotected high drain flat top 21700 cell?
Nope, unless you have a stupidly long spacer of some description.
Perfect for a sci-fi movie
The MS03 has a better flood (wider spread )at closer range but honestly the runtimes are not that great especially in the lower modes. Perhaps if they'd done like Thrunite with the Catapult v6 and used 26650 battery they could improve the runtimes but it really wouldn't be much. What impressed me with Thrunite was the Catapult v6 mini but that's a total different subject. I guess if you were stranded or backpack camping have this might be ideal for a space saver but if you are camping out you really need a flashlight that has good balance of battery life and low drain. BTW I know this is off the topic but if you ever need to replace the battery pack on the MS18 it'll cost you $249.00. Now take that into account that you paid $650.00 for the flashlight. Not worth the investment.
Love the blade runner music too! Haha Which is better the MS03 or DX80?
DX80 works, so the DX80
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV the ms03 doesn't work? What about the ms06?
Love this music reminds me of an old music album from Balban.
Balban, I'll have to check it out.
These look brighter in person right? I feel like my 260 lumen keychain light wouldn't be considered dim compared to this. Probably just under half as right, idk.
😲
If I wanted to buy a 21700 battery replacement for my imalent ms03, the flat head one would be right?
I think it just takes the included battery
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV could you please try with other types of 21700 you have if they still works on imalent ms03? I'm afraid to buy the wrong one, please 🙏
@@ilquartetto I did, they are way too short, it does say so in the review
Did you sh!t your pants at the end? haha good video 👍🏻
Seems a lot of owners of the MS03 are having the same problem I had with this flashlight intermittently not going to Turbo.
This is IMALENT's reply to me:
"Please tell them: MS03 is an extreme bright flashlight with smallest body, so it is designed to get the turbo output for most two times with fully charged battery within short time, or the battery will become empty within 10 minutes. We do this to keep the flashlight have a longer runtime."
They don't seem to want to acknowledge it's happening from cold with a fully charged battery.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV I got the same response, they don't wanna take responsibility for this mess.
Turbo is useless on my even 8000lm can't be accessed after 3-4s on turbo on fully charged battery red light comes on that's end of the game.When I unscrew cap and screw it back on its working again until I get to 8000lm red light is back on and battery starts hissing 😠
@GeeKIller me too, not really happy about it and customer service 🤬I noticed there is another light that looks promising coming out Fenix LR35R 10000lm and 2 21700, can't wait for the reviews
Had problems with Imalent RT70 !
Pure junk , will never buy Imalent again !
@@CanadienNortherner what was the problem? The beam on it looks very interesting to me I was thinking of buying it
Wish they made it proper throw w still the 3 leds
Wait the 21700 has a charging port in it so is it longer or is it a smaller battery
Very long battery
Hype
Good for welding and cutting. But there is a bad smell afterward.
What's the brightest AA batteries flashlight ?? Thank you very much.
Zebralight do a 550 lumens single AA torch. I think Sofirn do a 1000 lumens one with 4 batteries.
Can you use the turbo for more than 45 sec?
Temperatura jest wtedy bardzo wysoka.
Improvement suggestion: use fixed exposure, ISO, and shutter speed for the light comparison and put the value of that in the screen so we can imagine how bright the flashlight when compared to the other one.
Everything is fixed! The camera still steps down a little even with exposure comp set to max. ISO800, WB4900K.
sounds like there was a herd of roaming Mastodons over the hill somewhere
Doe's it feel comfortable in the hand to hold?
Not really. Odd size and gets hot
Nice video, so finnaly it has 5100 or 10500 lumens out of 13000? This imalent still bad like others imalent products? It is hard to find this bright and also small edc...
This light is defective
The discharge capacity of the original battery is too small, only 15A, but it is recommended to use more than 35A in the manual. Can I use 60A?
No such cell!
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Why do I open Trubo
It will keep flashing red light
Timely flashlight cooling still can't turn on Trubo
Why is that?
The battery is clearly fully charged
All MS03's are faulty. Send it back.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV excuse me flashaholic, i want to ask, i have one MSO3, can i replace the imalent ms03 using a non protect battery like the samsung 30t which has been modified to be bottom top or not? because the default MS03 battery is only 15 amperes, while the Samsung 30T 35 amperes, please help answer, thank you
@@arifwidianto3400 It would need a huge button on it!
Do you think this one is better than the fenix lr35r?
Nope. This one is buggy.
@FLASHAHOLIC i dont know what buggy means butt i understand the lr35r is better haha
you going to review the fw21 pro
Possibly, I just hope the button is OK.
Can compare with Manker mk36
Would be possible to use battery that can store more energy or power?
There are 5000mah 21700's but they probably won't have enough amps to get you turbo or 10k.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV so the amps are very important for this flashlight, I have one on the way I knew the turbo won't last long but with technology mowing fast forward hopefully they will have battery like that
Lol 3x 70.2s? I want. I see the typical British weather here. Over here in London, had a brief 'sprinkling' of drops, but nothing I'd consider rain, for a long time now...
Rained hard here last 3 days
Hello Flashaholics, thank you very much for the excellent review. I think this flashlight can go at 3000 lumen without stepdown. For me it is important the continious level. According to you which flashlight is your proposal for highest lumen can go without stepdown about this edc size?
2000 on this one
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV which one would you prefer Nitecore E4K or Imalent MS03?
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV So what's the point of spending $130.00 for a 3000 lumen light? I've had all the same problems described by everyone. Especially the very underpowered battery. Was wondering would the 5000mah used in my DM70 work in this light?

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Thanks buddy
Imalent should switch to Anduril. Well that's just my opinion.
Anduril won't suit everyone, only flashoholics. I find it incredibly difficult to sell to the average user
how to buy it,pm plz
I prefer astrolux with xpl-hi , half price ;)
The idea of it is great though. If it’s fault was fixed.
Good light, let down by a badly fitted switch, a poor version of Anduril II and a slight flicker at lower levels
Anyone know where this can be purchased in the UK?
Flashaholics.Co.UK may stock it eventually.
Imalent said they will have them available on Amazon UK in 10 days👍
Cheers
IMALENT's response to the turbo red light issue:
"because we put glue to seal the head and battery tube, when it is not dry, we started to test them on turbo, so the glue melted and loosed the body, but we didn't realised before.
If people who want to solve the problem themselves, just need to take off the body, clean the glue and make it tight"
Didn't resolve the issue for me.
Imalent is fucking garbage !
First light I bought from you and it was defective (RT 70) half the led chip was burned out !
I'll never buy Imalent garbage ever again !!
Man, that would be frustrating then. Having a company with such a good reputation like imalent, you actually expect them to resolve the issue. It seems manufacturing defect and they dont seem to want to fix it rather give a mundane advice that dont work. They should recall all the products and fix it soon. I was thinking of getting one but as soon I saw this, it make me think twice. Is there any plan to review Tm9k from Nitecore?
@@f50koenigg Nope, Nitecore have daft runtimes on turbo lately.

How it compares to Nitecore TUP?
I think the TUP throws further!
@@kachow2818 I mean in terms of everyday usability - for example, TUP is too bulky to be used as a keychain and so both of these lights are practically a pocket devices.
