IMALENT MS 18 LEDs, LENS, BEZEL, AND REFLECTOR A $600 flashlight shouldn’t have this problem! And there is only 1 O-ring, while the MS12 had 2 O-rings near the threads.
The anodization is missing on parts of the threads. I’m not sure if it’s because of the size and weight of the flashlight, or because of the lube, but the threads were damaged. In the following pictures, you can see some details and the copper fins on the inside of the head. Well, the fans are NOT quiet! They are very noisy!Īnd besides that, the Torx screws are filled with a substance, probably silicon or glue so you can’t easily unscrew them to take off the fan covers. This is what Imalent says about the cooling system:īuilt-in heat pip radiator with excellent heat dissipation, and equipped with an inlet and outlet fan silent, waterproof, heavy wind, which is a perfect combination of great energy and technology. There is liquid inside the system to cool the light even quicker.
It uses 2 fans that get activated when the light is set to 22,000 Lumens and above. The Imalent MS18 is one of the dozen flashlights with an integrated active cooling system. And since it’s rather small, losing the cap is very possible. If the cover gets lost, you won’t be able to attach the strap anymore. Not the best idea, but better than damaging the Anno as it happened with the MS12. Where the MS12 has the clips attached to the bezel and tail cap, they found a workaround and added a special attachment ring on the head, and on the tail cap. I couldn’t find any weird spots or missing anodization (until I unscrewed the battery pack) They also upgraded the carry strap attachments. It is a very decently built flashlight with good anodization. Imalent has always been pretty good with its built quality, and the Imalent MS18 is no exception here. The MS18 actually just consists of 2 main parts, the head, and battery pack aka body. Instead of attaching it directly to the body and bezel, they now have a dedicated ring on the head, and an attachment to the tail cap. As you can see, they upgraded the attachment points for the strap. It’s a little too heavy to use for an extended period of time. Fortunately, it comes with a shoulder strap as well. This lumen monster is not going to be carried in your pocket, where it could accidentally be activated. Something along the lines of a protruding switch or a ridge of some sort. In many cases, this isn’t really a problem, but if you’re in the dark, a kind of physical indicator would be welcome. I would like to see them address this little issue. The switch remained the same from the IMalnet MS12 and is a flat iron button, which by itself is a little hard to find in the dark. Just above the power switch is a little OLED display that shows lumen output. Imalent MS18 is a big boy! And with this size of the light, I would have preferred a bit more grip on the body. Once you see the raw power of a 100000-lumen flashlight it will be hard to go back to your EDC! A built-in heat pipe radiator with excellent heat dissipation equipped with a silent inlet and outlet fan. The multi-functional OLED display displays various parameters and settings. The Imalent MS18 Flashlight, “Ambassador of light” utilizes 18 pieces of American CREE XHP70 2nd LEDs with a maximum output of 100,000LM and a long range up to 1350 meters, It is the brightest flashlights on the market and will bring you an absolute shock when you light it up.
