Hi, did imalent solve the turbo problem? do you know anything about it?

[@imalentswitzerland]

Great review! Thank you for your presentation and all the testing. I'll take a closer look at the MS03W soon. .....btw: I was quite surprised when I saw a Terminator in your video :D ....very well done. ...hopefully it wasn't a real one :) Best regards from Switzerland, Simon

[@Kylson002]

Great material as always :)

[@carycary3822]

I recently received a (second) replacement MS03 (the first replacement continued to have the Turbo problem) from Imalent and, after a week’s use, it appears that the Turbo issue has been resolved. I’ve used Turbo several times and the dreaded red light has not come on. A small sticker has also been added to the head of the light warning of high heat production. Imalent customer service was helpful and courteous when treated fairly and with courtesy. Be sure to get the most recent production of the light as it seems key to getting a properly working example.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Looks like they are finally listening!

[@carycary3822]

FLASHAHOLICS Thankfully. It’s a lovely little powerhouse of a light. But, now there’s the MS06! ;)

[@0starman0]

Darn wished I’d waited for the warm variant but hey ho the normal is an awesome light. I install equipment in pubs and clubs and often their cellars. The MS03 is my new EDC. Apart from the turbo issue it’s a great light and I’ve found it to be good value for money vs functionality and purpose. From close up work to lighting a whole cellar. I got it thanks to your first review of it. Cheers 👍🏻

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

When the MS03 is working it's one of the best lights around. It just need to cycle or return from turbo and the sensor or connection needs sorting that causes the red light.

[@cvheugten]

I was thinking. What would it be to have a small light like this 13,000lm and 3 minutes full turbo. Really hope that we once have lights like that. Flooders like this light just need long turbo times and no more than 50°C

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

It'll be hot after 3 mins of 1000 lumens at the moment

[@cvheugten]

FLASHAHOLICS I wonder what Imalent is up to. 1000lm hot after 3 minutes... pfffff..

I will get this when they fix the turbo issue. I already have the MS03 its still one of my favorites. Just got the astrolux ec03 on your recommendation.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

EC03 has the better UI and easily better value for money, but I prefer the MS03 beam, when it works!

[@matt7iron]

I got the EC03 too and you notice when you hit turbo it's a short delay before it kicks in.

For a great EDC 5000k flashlight I love my Emsiar D4V2 in SST-20 5k. The SST-20 in 5k does not have the green tint issues as the 6500k and also very good throw. Its one of my favorites for neutral tint and good combination beam. Hank does not list the candela for the D4V2 but he does for the D4SV2 as I pasted below: So they should be close both using optics OTF lumen output and candela at start-up XP-G2 S4 : 3300lm / 40,000cd Nichia 219C : 3000lm / 20,000cd XP-L HI : 4300lm / 45,000cd XP-L HD : 5100lm / 27,000cd SST-20 6500K: 4200lm / 58,000cd SST-20 5000K: 4000lm / 55,000cd SST-20 4000K/3000K 95CRI: 3000lm / 41,000cd

[@eternalvoid8153]

Are there any rechargeable lights you recommend that use type c cable?

[@Conservator.]

Not the cheapest flashlight but it creates a sh*t load of light! Tx!

[@maxsinventions8913]

When you do the size comparisons, can you include a fullsize blf a6? I feel like most people have that or any typical olight. I only say this becasue I only buy one or two lights a year so it's hard to keep up to date with all the newest designs. Thanks for your videos. I can't wait for my tint changing light to come.

[@craigs7181]

Just got my IF25 in the mail today! It only took 13 days from the day I ordered it to make it from China to Pennsylvania! So far I like it a lot :)

I’ll buy one when they fix all the problems wit it, seems like they are trying to get things out as quickly as possible before perfecting them.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

I'd recommend it if the problems are sorted. Great beam. No artefacts or tint deviations. Wall of light with usable throw.

[@RussellWofford]

Ok, be honest with me. Should I get it despite the issue or wait for a fix? I’m really on the fence.

Hello Flash. Another blindingly (yeh, sorry. Couldn't help it) good review. Has anyone mentioned. How bloody ugly the Imalent MS03 & MS06 are? I know that it's not supposed to matter. But, let's face it a certain amount of beauty is still very much considered. Don't get me wrong I have a couple of Imalent flashlights. An RT90 & an LD70 mini. They actually look like somebody thought about a fairly nice presentation. Like you, I find the 6000k a bit washed out. I don't however mind the 5000k tint. Having said that, if the 5700k was available I would definitely choose that, without any hesitation. I know that I was a bit late reading this review mate but, I couldn't any more new ones. Take care mate.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Cheers Stephen.
