I got this a couple months ago, I love it. The only minor issueis it can turn on easily by accident but it does have a lock mode. If it's in the holster but not in lock mode make sure to put the button facing the side. If its facing away or directly towards your body it can turn in by accident. Future models should figure a better button situation.

Let's be honest folks. In the race to be #1 in lumen output Imalent rushed this light to market knowing there were major faults as we've all experienced with the red light issue, and the inability to reach even 8000 lumens once the red light is visible. A real shame because this "could" be a game changer if they could achieve that 13000 mark for even a few minutes. But I'm not willing to pay 130.00 for a "3000" lumen light. Sorry, I've returned mine for refund, and hope they resolve the issue.

The turbo mode is inconsistent for me. Sometimes it wouldn't come on all...instead I get 4 red flashes from the indicating light. The only workaround for me was to remove the battery and put it back in. That seems to work but the turbo mode would stop working randomly even when the battery is fully charged.
@CharlesBridgTec4 жыл бұрын
Yes turbo is limited due to strain on the battery. I hear also its a Samsung 40T cell under the wrapper so its powerful enough but doing it over and over on turbo is difficult. Short bursts is fine of 15 seconds. I do get the warning triangle as shown in my night shots but I am able to do turbo at least 4 times without issues. Battery technology is clearly falling behind in the times for these types of lights. Thanks for watching!

@@CharlesBridgTec Here's what Imalent Support said when I asked them about the turbo mode issue - "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. ...If you wish to have more than 10,000 lumens output for long time, you will need a big flashlight like DX80, which can last for 7minutes at 13000lumens."

Does anybody know what the o-rings are for? I just got this light and I don't know what to do with them

Yes they are extras for the thread area of the light where you screw on the tail cap just incase you damage it. Keep them. Thanks for watching!

Why do I turn on the Trubo in less than 45 seconds and it's very hot, even less than 45 seconds, it automatically downshifts 2000 lumens, and then when I turn it off, it can't be turned on again, the red indicator light will flash three times, I must remove the battery and install Trubo can be turned on again, why? Is the original 21700 battery not strong enough? It is recommended to use 21700 batteries above 35A in the manual. Is this the problem? Do you have such a situation?

@@CharlesBridgTec It’s not a battery problem or a flashlight. As long as I turn on Trubo within 10 seconds and turn it off, I can’t turn on Trubo anymore. If I double-click the button twice again, the red indicator light will flash three times. Why is this? What is the chip? Special design?

Charles BridgTec so the 3000 and 1300 lumens would be able to used continuously but safely without burning while on night adventure or exploring a cemetery at night but confirming it's the 8000 and 13,000 high and turbo gotta be extra careful with only use the 8000 and 13,000 in emergency or to temporarily blind a attacker in self defence? For general use 1300 and 3000 are best for longer usage times
