- Find it here: amzn.to/3itkzqw Sometimes there's sales here: www.imalentsto... Is the Imalent MS18 the brightest highest lumen flashlight in the world? Is the MS03 the brightest EDC flashlight? Today we find out, then concoct our own creation to try and spice things up - mainly because it sounded like fun, let's be honest it's an abomination.

As always, Torque who started this channel is working in product development for Astro Tools who do not carry flashlights. TTC is not the only testing out there, always consider multiple sources!
"Overclocking" the process by which you up the voltage and cross your fingers you dont brick your hardware, then if successful have a whole lot of extra heat to deal with. So are we "overclocking" here? Still no, but maybe our friends over at LTT will see this monstrosity and possibly want to machine a water block/water-cool this thing over in Canukistan
At some point, with the scaling of the cooling hardware that super-bright LEDs require, you'd imagine more heat-tolerant light sources, such as HID arc lighting, might actually be more space efficient in blind-you-forever carry lights.
I suggest you check out some Hank lights. I probably can't post a link here, but he's a flashlight maker from China that had a big following on reddit. He's known for making high quality lights that use anduril 2 software. They seem durable, but not gonna put mine to the test. Maybe you could?
*Hey. I am continuing my testing as well. "Focus" your videos on Lowe's outdoor light products under the name Lithonia Lighting.*
I bought a $120 light, claiming 7500 lumens. Lol. No.
Tried to talk to the manager, he said, "It's just what the vendor puts on the box".
I tried to explain that "just" is breaking 5 laws... but you know, they don't hire for IQ.
You should have watercooled it. PC water cooling is 12 volts. An AIO (all in one) would have probably worked well with the rubber band rifle.
@@jeffp6615 They water block is made to fit a small CPU though, we'd need a water block to fit the LED array
I imagine everyone in town LOVED the filming of the night shoot parts of this episode. LOL
looks like that car put it up on the lawn lol
you won’t believe this one weird trick to see at night, neighbors hate him
It gets dark at like 5pm lmao.
Especially those people on the road trying to drive lol lmfao rofl
Yeah lol and i test my lights in the middle of the night far away from any houses or streets because i dont want to bother anyone with cute little 2k-5k lumen lights.
Ms18 owner here! So happy someone finally tested the output of this light and it actually exceeded the 100k rating. Also if you press the power button 4 times while the light is off it will run the fans and help cool the light faster.
My poor baby MS03... Love the content, very professional and entertaining. much appreciated for using our flashlight in this video.
You guys make very cool stuff. Pushing the boundaries is always a tough road to walk
Hahah wow what a weird world we live in, a company watching its product be used by its customers? Very cool to see the engagement though
I've heard your flashlights are rubbish and would stand NO chance of lighting up the very dark fields I walk my dog through some nights, care to prove me wrong and send me one to test this theory? (free ofc) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😜
In a world of Chinesium ridiculous lumen claims, someone has actually built the real thing....
Pretty sure the only thing more powerful is those custom made things that are basically battery powered floodlights....
I love these longer, more DIY style videos. This was an amazing video ! Hope to see more of it in the future !
Oh definitely, we're constantly tinkering on stupid things like this that make our wives heavily roll their eyes
@@TorqueTestChannel If you want your wife to roll her eyes y'all could always just get a new air compressor big enough for 1 inch air impacts 😁
Or just take a big 500L air tank with a 1 inch air line as the output. You charge it with the compressor and plug the impact on it. Some shops do that I think as buffers for big tools.
Agreed
They make videos exactly like this every friday from what I'm told in the outro
“Hello, police? There’s a guy walking around the neighborhood, carrying the sun!”
First off, I never heard of a flashlight that has to use a fan to cool it, which is sweet in its own right. Then you buy the light and supercharge it and then make a Ghostbusters looking ray gun to harness the sun to shine wherever you want.
You guys are freakin geniuses!! This is awesome!
I once had this comically large flashlight - I don't remember much about it, but it was huge and the charger smelled of burning electronics when it was used. That thing got hot and it frankly needed a fan despite not being close to as bright as modern lights.
Oh yeah - V2 should literally have a backpack full of batteries, and some chonky 0000 gauge wires to the head unit which clips on the slide, just like a Proton Pack !
Fit a portable radiator and pump from a welding kit for watercooling through a radiator for added cooling.
It's still "man portable" if you can walk with it.... briefly.
Check out the Acebeam X75. Even better fan implementation and a cheap(er) light for nearly the same brightness.
@@naota3k
God I love Acebeam.
Oh I guarantee, you could hold a ghost with that thing, no sweat.
You probably already know but a "drone shot" of the light output like you have created (113k) in a semi open area with backdrop trees looks very cool for reference like some flashoholics youtubers do.
Great content regardless 🤘
No doubt! That's kind of you to try and help this guy produce better videos. It's great advice in my opinion!
Doubles as a space heater on cold camping trips!
Love this channel
Love you
@@MRLEE-of5fj wow!
@@amentia 😘
@@MRLEE-of5fj e.e
I think yall should look into a liquid cooling setup like most gaming desktops have when boosting lights, you know you want too!! Id love to see some moderately priced EDCs modded and/or boosted.
You still need to reject the energy to ambient air at some point. I don't think it makes that much sense in a handheld unit
That is the only light I felt no need to modify. I am still glad you did. Awesome!
Time to build your own liquid cooled one.
Too bad that EDC wasn't any good, was ready to click the link. You guys are AWESOME!
Its how it goes sometime. No good, no link
@@TorqueTestChannel what’s your recommended EDC?
I was a bit sad that TTC couldn't get ANSI rated 100k lumens with the MS-47.
We didn't think we'd crack 85k!
Not quite on the same level, but would definitely love for you guys to also test out Olights X9R. Appears to be a more durable option, but then again, no one has tested it.
I love the Dodge line of thinking here. Let’s take something practical and make it way overpowered for the hell of it.
The shot of you walking around outdoors at night made you look like a ghostbuster!
Classic overkill from TTC. LOVE IT
I love your flashlight content, please keep them coming!
A thermal camera would be handy for showing how hot they in a short time.
Maybe another testing series? Thermal cameras
Holy smokes
Nice job.
When the best just isn’t enough , give TTC a call.
Great Job....
So sick... And I am HERE for it!!!! Heh heh!
That thing is crazy bright... I'm almost surprised nobody called the cops, wandering around with that thing.... That guy in the car on the road, he probably called in a UFO report....
That fan "turbo" blow off valve sound is just an unexpectedly hilarious gag. Even after the AK-47 gag. kudos.
The only light you need when you gotta brighten up a whole city block
This is amazing. I love the overclocking and modding you did to it, and having the trigger be functional to activate the fans was great.
Love the stuff you do . Wish I had the time to build wacky stuff like that. So cool.
Would be fun to see the beam/throw from the top with a drone or something
We all get to live vicariously through this channel .. this channel is a personification of all the garage conversations we have over heard from our parents grandparent and ourselves … its awesome
Expecting an LTT crossover next: "Watercooling the worlds brightest flashlight!"
The modified light brought back memories of Clark Griswold and the joy his lights brought the neighbors
Losing a bank of cells in the 12Ah might be due to a balancing issue, as Milwaukee's batteries and chargers don't really cope with balancing that well.
It was a super common issue with the old High Demand 9.0s, and for a time it pretty common to see forum posts where people would frequently have a 50% failure rate on the twin packs, and a quick skim points to 12Ahs starting to suffer the same issues. It seems like 5S/3P is just too finicky for Milwaukee to pull off without running into these issues, at least until they upgrade the balancing chip to something that can deliver more than 50mA, or reconfigure something so that the cells can be balanced regardless of charge status.
That’s honestly is as bright as a helicopter spot light… I’m impressed!
*overclocking a flashlight with twin turbos*
next thing he overclocks mcdonalds sprite with twin turbos
It's so bright at the end it's actually harder to see then in the dark, everything is just white and washed out lol I love it.
This chanel keeps getting better.
Absolutely fantastic video as always! As a career automotive technician who has a perhaps unhealthy love of all things flashlight and power tool related I absolutely love your channel! One question though. I see a lot of UA-cam reviewers and regular Milwaukee users complaining about the HD12.0 packs failing prematurely and dropping a bank or so of cells. But I never hear of anyone who tried to get them fixed under warranty. It’s just reviewers constantly making comments about the unreliability rather then trying to fix the issue. Now I understand nobody should have to deal with crap if it is as wide spread as it sounds but cost and quality only get you so far, anything can break. So my question is, have you or anyone you know attempted to get the HD12.0 or for that matter any Milwaukee battery, fixed/replaced under warranty and if so what was the outcome? Obviously you can’t do that on your newly modified HD12.0.
I really love little comedy bits you insert into your videos, it's fun.
The last config is absurd and I love it. From the rest of mankind, thank you.
The final product looked like something you would pick up out of the mystery box in cod zombies
There was a UA-camr that made a custom "daylight generator" a few years back, would love to see you tackle that and make a better/newer version if possible haha
You ask all the same technical questions internally that I would and then deliver on them, every time. You're a freaking badass, thank you for going the extra mile. Not only for us, but I sure can imagine you enjoy it too.
LOL what do you think that car was thinking as it drove by and you were flashing the world's brightest flashlight and its direction
Those two cars in the last part of the video with the hot rodded light must have thought the police chopper was above them with their spotlight on them lol. There is an idea get one of those lights in to test.....
Sorry for the people in the cars at night. Out for a drive, then blinded worse than lifted trucks. Great work.
I Love this review more than most! Thanks for uping the battery to really test this lighting package!
I'm so glad I have atleast in some ways supported this channel because this is the top channel in youtube. And the new types of content flashlights etc are very good because I think everyone here is also interested in this stuff. Manly things!
Dude. I’m seriously going to attach this to my Bushmaster
Now I just need these as truck headlights and I can finally see at night!!
"MS47. It's not _quite_ a lightsaber, but hoo boy."
All I want for Christmas is a colab between TTC and project farm.
@@ShainAndrews yes. Why
@@ShainAndrews bro I've got no idea what you're talking about
I'll bet your neighbors just loved the making of this video lmao
the cars driving by at the end
"hey, who turned on the lights?"
"How bring is your flashlight?" "Well, it has a cooling fan." Enough said.
I'm pretty sure you just killed every vampire in the local area during filming this.
i want one of these imalents soooo bad ! but i just can't justify the cost , especially since i already have the biggest baddest streamlight they make and i basically only use it to get people to stop driving behind me with their high beams on when i'm in my semi .... but ohhhh one of these days!!
Those jerks deserve the balloon popping laser that he tested a couple videos back 😂
@@mattfleming86 i honestly thought about getting one after i watched that video but the way i do it is by shining it in my own mirrors which would make aiming it pretty hard
that 3500 lumen (according to streamlight) usually does the job with just a quick flash... but if i hold it on them i can see their eye color 😂😂
Check the Acebeam X75, 80kLumens and really good quality for a much better price
I saw the thumbnail and knew we were in for a treat
For context: A helicopter spotlight is 60,000 lumens
I was just thinking how its gotta be close to a helo spotlight during the last test lol
When you judge flashlights by how loud they are
I would love to see atleast a short with this light shining across a vast area. Like take it out to the desert, and see how far away you can actually see with it. or idk.
Loving all the new non torque tests and reviews yall have been doing!
This is the best TTC episode ever!
this is amazing btw if you really wanted coopling without care for yourself and anything around it you should have gotten a delta fan (server fans) they can easily at 12v pull almost 10A by it self though i have a feeling that you would hot rod it more
A secondhand OS 46AX will move way more air than anything Delta ever made and probably costs less, though the fuel it uses isn't cheap either. And it isn't quiet...but then again the deltas aren't either.
+1 for server fans. Search Delta fans by high static pressure and you find some insane compact and power dense blowers and fans. Completely different animal compared to normal PC cooling fans because nobody cares if a server sounds like a jet engine.
Nice work man! This Chanel has come such a long way! Great testing as usual
When the MS18 came out a few years ago, I was like "AWESOME!!" until I heard the FAN. 🤣
the outdoor test reminds me of that episode of malcolm in the middle where they set off the giant firework and it just turns to daylight for a bit
This seems like something that the SCP foundation would need to issue to a new mobile task force dedicated to fighting entities with a severe sensitivity to light.
Imagine the strobe is a machine gun and the full on light blasting is like taking a plumbing torch to a spider's nest.
I think this is part of a grand scheme to create a DIY pulse rifle that runs on Milwaukee batteries... and I'm all for it.
You should video this thing in daylight, eliminating shadows from large trees from a distance in direct sunlight!
Through the power of the internet an a stupid bright television. Your flashlight actively raised my power bill.
It's funny to see you start getting into flashlights. My friend was real big into flashlights about a year ago. He bought the MS-18 (flood) and a GT94X (thrower). They're very impressive lights. Brands you may be interested in as well that I haven't seen you mention are Emisar, Noctigon, Fireflies, Lumintop, Weltool, Mateminco/Astrolux, Reylight, Acebeam.
Emisar are my favorite lights. Keep in mind these are not mechanic lights. They are fanatic lights. So drop testing and such aren't what most people in this hobby are concerned about and thus the lights aren't designed around that either.
I use Molicell P42A in my 21700 lights and P26A in my 18650 lights and Keeppower UH2652 in my 26650 lights.
Luxwad has an awesome channel on lights among a few others.
So…..uh…..yep. You guys are crazy. I really respect the engineering that it takes to do this.
best show ever, also trees says thankyou, it was cloudy yesterday so they stored light for 3 days from you
Tweak the design a little bit, add a sling and some paint and maybe some add ons to give it a steam punk theme and I’d rock it. The little turbo fans are badass. MORE
Great videos
At this point... Could the every day carry light stop a charging bear more effectively then mace? Gunna need you guy to test this one for me.
.458 Winchester has entered the chat.
Great video. Really enjoyed the build to see how far you could push things.
10:53 Sounds like a mix between a jdm car and a vacuum cleaner 😂
One of the few applications where lights like these can run with minimal thermal considerations is underwater. When housings are constructed from a thermally conductive material (i.e. anodized aluminum), LEDs can run pretty much indefinitely at stupid amperages.
Of course, that takes some serious batteries... But I've swam around with a consistent 60k lumens for an hour before. (SCUBA + photogrammetry)
I'm betting Milwaukee will be rolling these super flash lights out soon. That's what I've heard from the tool rep at work, at least
That was far more enjoyable than I thought it would be.
6:48 spider running away from Armageddon, lol.
Regarding the "no-name brands" shown on the table, Anker isn't a generic brand. They primarily make powerbanks and are pretty good quality, they started making flashlights later and although I haven't used any of them I've heard good things.
Little spider on the left @6:48 : OMG RUN, it's going supernova!!!
The Nightwatch NS73v2 is a great alternative to the MS03. For a much more affordable price you're getting 17500 lumens. And it uses a single 21700 as well
With an incredible Lishen 21700hp that Nightwatch hand picks to get the highest discharge
Hand-held lights are becoming hilariously bright. Wonder how long until we have a hand-held "night sun" (those helicopter search lights)? XD
I know it won't do anything but that Frankenstein light needed a tank of NOS to shoot into those fans.
You need to make a YT short out of this, get that sweet exposure.
Love the fact you don't replace the mat, even after laser burns.
that seems like the perfect tool for someone blinding your rear view with their high beams
I can only imagine what this looked like in person
Have recently got into making custom lights myself, it's so fun! And really quite easy.
TTC dipping their toes into supervillain territory. WE SHALL BUILD THE SUN!!!!
The sequel of this video should be a collab with LTT to water-cool it lmao
Got p42a in a 13s4p setup for an electric skateboard. Absolutely love them
The ms47 when the tactical flashlight becomes the gun
You basically took a flashlight and turned it into a crowd control weapon.
Nice!
A flashlight mod channeling the soul of Fallout tech. Totally beautiful.
whats wrong with me, i read the title as overclocking the worlds brightest fleshlight. i thought 'thats prolly dangerous"
*13:52** congrats you gave multiple commuters a heart attack 🤣🤣*
🤣 what a convenient and rugged design!
Great work, it's fun to push the boundaries, as insane as it may be! Your light sphere still does very good too, good enough for us!
Gotta be a special person to spend that kind of bank on a friggin flashlight... Outside of testing it for our viewing pleasure
