This incredible 25,000 lumen flashlight from Imalent turns night into day - the MS06

- This is a review of the superbright Imalent MS06 flashlight. The MS06 is the brightest flashlight I have tested so far and is capable of a maximum light output of 25,000 lumens. Imalent are known for their superbright flashlights and the MS06 is no exception. There are very few compact handheld flashlights can can compete with the 25000 lumen MS06 from Imalent.

Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase an item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Most suppliers, after seeing the channel, are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes asked to review a product by a supplier which I will only agree to if the product fits the channel and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. Also the product needs to be worthy of a review. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many requests are politely declined.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding. Even with sponsored reviews I will only agree to a sponsorship on products and services which I believe will be of genuine interest to viewers.
I will always make reference in the video to products which have been provided for review by a supplier and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the review in any way if they choose to supply a product.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.
Thank you for supporting the channel so I can continue to provide you with regular reviews, thoughts and ideas and (hopefully) inspiration! Please consider subscribing to keep up to date with new video releases. - Навчання та стиль
I was sold when the lumens made your left eye stop twitching!
🤣🤣🤣
I see this channel growing and growing. Glad we got in as early investors. 📈
Thanks to all the great support we are nearly at 10k 👍😊
Just discovered this channel in my recommended feed. What a jewel of a channel. I LOVE gadget channels! Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel 👍
This is awesome. I might get this as a backup. But bought a DX 80 recently and its bright at 32000 lumens. Thanks for showing me this.
just came across you vlog as im always looking at torches . bloody great review . look forward to seeing more . rob from Australia .
What a thoroughly detailed review! Thanks so much :)
My first thought was that it would be a great coastguard backup torch, lots of options for night searches.; basically for anyone who has reason to be searching at night/in dark places, rescue being the obvious one,. I remember yachting once and practicing the Man overboard drill, surely a great option to pinpoint someone in the water in the dark with turbo and then track then on high till the boat can manoeuvre for rescue
yes - could work well although a stronger beam might be preferred - review in the works for a very high beam distance flashlight 😃
@@JonGadget Have the ImalentRT90TS and would be the one thrower I would use for such a search and rescue Torch!
Just be careful not to flash this into oncoming boats and blind the helmsman!
Love your channel very professional and informative . I am going to buy one and it’s a great price I am nuts about brighter flashlight. Thank you for your channel. Keep up the good work. It is appreciated. It all fun and games until you need a very bright flashlight. God bless you.
I work security and there is no better defence/offence than a strong flashlight. You don't even have to do it "on purpose." Sometimes when I'm having a heated discussion with a difficult individual (usually drunk) I will casually sweep my 1,200 lumen light past their face, usually at night, and they settle down quickly.
Great immobilizer.
Lol I can imagine
Excellent, I also work as a security officer with DoD and carry a Glock, would rather defuse an aggressor than have to use deadly force.
I love flashlights too - gifting them away after a few months use! But this one is definitely one to keep!
Thanks Jon, this was an excellent, comprehensive review - only problem, one may not be able to get it here in India... Nevertheless, enjoyed watching your video!! 👍👍
I will feed my flash L addiction with this new beast. Thanks. Great video
you're welcome 👍
Really interesting. I can imagine, a younger version of me, doing anything to get hold of one of those!
Excellent Video! Fantastic Product! Thanks!
This will be extremely useful when I unearth and explore the Temple of Doom. Thanks! I had no idea something like this existed.
Ive just subed to your channel thank you for their info on the torch, lit looks amazing
This is a great review, the flashlight looks really good and it is incredibly bright. I consider Purchasing it.
Looks like a great flashlight for when you go camping and then freak yourself out about sounds in the middle of the night!
Thanks, Enjoyed, Been a sucker for torches for 50+ years, Have quiet a few super ones. later from Texas, usa.
greetings Texas 👍
Great review again Jon, what a piece of kit! I agree about the size and weight - I rarely use a similar sized torch because it gets really heavy after a while. 4000 lumens that fits it my jeans pocket is enough for me. Honestly 400 lumens on my headlamp is more than enough for 99% of my needs, but it's fun to have more.
totally agree 👍
sounds like a d4v2
1st time of seeing channel, have subscribed, very impressed, thanks :)
Wow, that's so over the top!
"Low" at 200 lms, when my flashlight has it for "High" 😄
I thought flashing your face with 25,000 lms would be blinding even with eyes closed, glad to see you made it out with both eyes 👀
Amazing content as always, it's good to introduce lesser known brands as well. Some channels are more of a snobs in terms of only working with like 3-4 big brand names and that's it.
Also we're almost at 10K subs! To many more to come 🍻
Thanks for the feedback as always Eyal - yes we are just about to cross that milestone - thanks for your continued support 😊
Ahhaha exsactly my thoughts.. both eyes haha
Thanks @Barry Keating I'm really happy with the channel growth - thanks for the support
Absolutely great video thank you for sharing it 👍
Good video, thanks for the tip on quarter turn to turn off the flashlight. Vancouver Island Canada 🇨🇦. the Costco headlamps are now in stock! 3 for $25 Canadian. Maybe I should do a review! Only kidding, have a great day!
Great review! Thank you.
Great review my friend! may consider this flashlight later in the year
This was quite interesting. Thanks for the lesson and for demonstrating this remarkable flashlight. Wow!
Agreed, good product review, not sure I'd want a Coke can on my belt, I'm happy with a smaller flashlight, along with my Gerber tool, knife and .45.
That being said it is a Kool flashlight, although I'm not a big fan of proprietary charging cords.
Another great review Jon. I remember my first LED torch a LED Lenser P7 bought 11 years ago and that was 200 lumen. Interesting to see the technology evolve so rapidly. Imalent do a 100000 lumen torch but it's over £500 which is a little out of my price range for a flashlight this looks more reasonable for the money.
Thank you 🙏 it's amazing how the technology has evolved over the last few years.
Yes,the MS18 I have one and it's crazy bright.The acebeam W30 is brighter and it's just as expensive.
@@jerryinohio1978 Sorry, but the last time I checked 500 lumens ≠ 100,000 lumens.
Great review. Thank you, Sir.
thank you 🙏
I swear UA-cam has been pushing more of your content to my recommendations, man. As a result, I ordered a Workchamp.
Hopefully that's a good thing 😬
Excellent Excellent Excellent video THANK YOU!!!
I had this in my bag and the button got hit four times and it melted the case to the lens. Thing is mental!!! My neighbours were speaking about strande lights in the sky. 😂
This is the first time I hear Jonathan swear on camera, it was indeed a "wtf" moment haha. Nice review as always.
After watching Jon's Excellent Review of this Flashlight i felt compelled to add one to my growing Flashlight Stash, and i was not Disappointed.
Yes it does get rather warm on Turbo Mode but that is to be Expected from a Flashlight of this Size and Power, Well Pleased...Thanks Jon and keep the Excellent Reviews Coming :-)
Thank you for the feed back Daz 👍
Where I can buy that flashlight ?
@@rankobaic4075 check out the link in the description under this video 👍
@@rankobaic4075 link in description under the video
Great video. That company should pay you for promoting their product. I'm getting one for sure.
$200.00 plus
@@dwoaks1 Yeah it is expensive but it looks like you get what you pay for. I hope it has some kind of warranty.
Great review! Currently using the ThruNite TN50 and absolutely love it. Do lose that side switch sometimes though. Still one of the best bricks I've bought
Thanks for the feedback - I've not used the TN50 but it looks similar 👍
Must have 😑🤤 Great Video thanks.
Congrats on being blessed by the UA-cam algorithm. Just found your channel.
great to hear 👍 welcome 😊
Great review thank you
I love the “chonk” of this flashlight. Although it is a bit weighty, and you can’t really just chuck it in a pocket, it feels very satisfying in the hand.
Price is now £179.99 in the UK.
Great price... This would be very helpful on my property in the filipines. I'll have to buy one and ship it over in a cargo box.
Don't know about the USB-C charging concerns, we've already got a ton of power pumping through a USB-C port and cable right now.
Huh Huh Huh! You said “pumping”!
I'ma new sub to your chann because I find the content fascinating thanks for sharing
Great review 👍
Maybe the intention of machining the battery separator out of aluminum is also to act as a heat sink for the batteries ? Cuz I’ve noticed that high drain 18650s used for vape devices get pretty warm when in use 🤨🤨
That's bright. I bet it's a heater. Thanks for sharing.
I have one...we use turbo to start up our barbecue. Will burn paper or melt plastics easily....Awesome Beast of a light👍
I might strap on a couple of these as front headlights 🚘
Blimey! Cool!
Jon happy Thursday 4th Nov.2021, CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 10K Followers, on to 100K Followers ASAP !
Thanks Steve for your support 🙏😊
I'd like to try that out, I work railroad so I do a lot of walking in the dark to rear of trains in the middle of nowhere. The lights the give us barely shines 5 feet lol
Nice video👍👍the flashlight is fantastic 🤩👍
The turbo mode can be super useful as a self defense tool at night without the need for a pepper spray or similar. If someone attacks you, quickly turning on turbo will blind them for a few seconds giving at opportunity to get away. If that doesn’t work you can use it as a brick 🤷🏼♂️
Also the strobe feature can have a disorienting effect to an assailant.
jamaal would beg to differ, sir
That s point of these lights I would say. In Australia that s the only self defense tool you are allowed to carry
Hi Jon, I cam across your channel purely by chance, and I’m hooked. Excellent review of an excellent torch, more than perfect for dog walking.
Where are these sold in the U.K.?
I bet your popular with your neighbours with that portable sun lol.
Thanks for the feedback 👍 the link in the description will take you to their website and I think they hold stock in the UK for UK sales.
£170 now on Amazon- your video has pushed the price up!
I doubt one video is to blame but their price is all over the place!
great video .. super flashlight .. deadly strobe intensity .
very good looking torch
I am very much interested in this flashlight especially when I'm legally blind and helped turn night into day for me to see
"I've no idea what does that means but Im sure thats pretty good"...haha I subscribed after that statement...
😁 Apologies for the slow response!! - thanks for the sub though and welcome to the channel 👍
Very powerful 🌞
I'll save this film,it cured my insomnia
very nice!
Great review. Might purchase one. I was curious though just like all other electronics when the battery goes out so will your investment. Do they sell replacement batteries for this flashlight?
very well detailed review.
thank you
Mine came with an extra O ring. And I also got the MS03 and it's very impressive for it's size 13,000 lumens.
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍
U got a new subscriber...
Welcome to the channel and thank you 😊
Nice review Jon.
Thanks!
Good stuff.
Excelente 👌
Very cool, im gonna buy one for my cross country Tesla trip👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Have fun!
Awesome
Awesome review
Thanks!
@@JonGadget you’re welcome I like your content
Wow, impressive tool, but clearly not one everybody can use. One thing that got my attention is how similar in form and function to the Nitecore EA41 I recently acquired it is, albeit the EA41 being a 4AA light with more practical everyday output levels. So many flashlights, etc. on the EDC market these days. I, for one, really appreciate you reviews and commentary. I’ve updated my tool set significantly based on your videos.
Thanks for the kind comments Doug - really appreciated.
you can get an if25a for $10 cheaper, brighter, more capacity, rechargable, and even lower settings for if youre just needing a nightlight, heck even an fc11 is better and thats like $30, nowadays nitecore is a tad overpriced
@@brertt8350 Like I said, many choices on the market today. I make purchase decisions based on value to me and fulfilling my needs. For example, I own rechargeable lights and am well prepared to recharge them, but I expressly chose a AA light over a rechargeable for travel and outdoors, because I may not have the recharging options available and replacing batteries takes seconds, not hours. I’ve been satisfied with the value, reliability and functionality of the Nitecore, and Surefire, products I’ve purchased. Some have long ago been supplanted by other products, but continue to serve me well in every day use.
Very cool! As already posted my main concerns would be the longevity of the charging cable connection and the battery. I paid $125 for a CR-123 powered 500 lumen two-level handheld “defender” flashlight last year (with a crenellated impact bezel and tail cap switch) so this price isn’t out of line. I really like that 4-press lockout feature; never seen that feature before. Thanks for the great review. 👍
Thanks for the feedback - agree re charging cable
I would love to have one
Your neighbors must love you
😬
My Fenix P1 turned on in my EDC burned the pack and burnt out the lens. Screwing it a bit is great advice.
It looks verry nice.
You are great.
Nice they include the belt sheath, of course it's probably illegal to carry a beefy flashlight like that in the UK. I mean, you could make someone really uncomfortable with that being so bright!
🤣🤣🤣
The neighbors when Jon tests it on High: "There's a UFO outside!!!"
Amazing! I just checked the Amazon price. "$200.00". Still, I think the quality is spot on. 25000 lumens is approaching a light weapon. Lol Great 👍 video. Cheers.
thanks for the comment 👍
Impressive number of views!
They also make a warm light version of this, which I think would be a better option.
Hi Jon, after watching your review of this flood lite I ordered one on Nov 24th. I did so directly from the imalent store as opposed thru Amazon bcuz it was significantly cheaper!$! That being said I still havnt recieved it 3 weeks later. I did get a text update last Thursday Dec 9th that my order had shipped. Is that normal for it to take so long to receive a purchase from this store? I realize that you said they maybe located in China. Thanks
Nice vid. Thanks for sharing. What camera / lens did you use for this video (in your studio) - thanks
cameras are both Sony Zv-1 😊
Nice backdrop, man.
legend has it he was served a cease and desist from a parallel universe... immediately after filming this review.
he was blinding their people.
Damnit, why did I see this. Now I have to buy one.
sorry 😬
looks like it would fit nice in your cup holder
Legit intro transition
Hi Jon. the battery separator is made of machined aluminum rather than plastic, which has more to do with the heat dissipation of the torch which one can expect to be high in such a small-big guy. than
Had one from another brand and they get hot. Also the batteries had no current limiting to them so they did not last long. This is probably a lot more advanced.
They do a 100,000 lumen torch mental!
Crazy!
Cool
11:13 how many pushes can the button take before it loses contact?
Actually, there could be a use case for photography as well. Specifically for outdoors portraits, in bright sunlight. If there were a Kelvin setting and a way to screw it onto a lightstand...
Don't you have a Kelvin setting on your camera and a pipe collar or a hose clamp?
How would you compare it with the NiteCore TM 26 ?
Those are decent LEDs. They can output good power. :)
What even the hell?! Amazing...
Did it come with an oven mitt for when it gets hot?
