Imalent MS03 Flashlight Kit Review!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
- Here is the all new Imalent MS03 flashlight kit. This light has incredible beam performance for its size. This uses a 21700 cell to provide all the power you need to the three Cree XHP70.2 LED's. Great size for EDC use. The sheer light output this can provide is bright and wide. Build quality is very nice including style as well. Its hard to believe that this can provide short bursts of 13,000 lumens on turbo. Now there is on down side which the included clip is not strong enough to hold this light so if you value your $129 dollars then don't use it rather use the holster instead. See link below to if you want to get this little beast of an EDC:

Thanks for watching, Take care!
I’ve been waiting for this video ! Thank you !!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review - that's an impressive flashlight for its size!
Thanks for watching!
Yes,i waiting this reviews,thank you so much charles
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! After I saw those incredible night shots, I’m considering myself to get one
Thanks for watching!
Charles, thanks to your reviews and after considering some other models, just got mine MS03 today. It's an amazing photon cannon and even in lowest power it's enough light for indoor tasks. My sample does not came with that unreliable clip but it does have a small hole on the frontal heatsink ring to tie de lanyard. None of the reported problems so far. Thank you.
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your comment! Mine just came in the mail today and I was wondering why I got a lanyard with no way to connect it! I didn't notice that hole until your comment so thank you :)
@@maxinac great to know that. You are welcome. By the way, I've been using mine frequently, mostly in low-medium power and that battery is just amazing. One single charge till now (1 month), same amount of light for all power modes . What a piece of gear. Cheers
Wow ...love that wide beam
What a fantastic light
Thanks for watching!
That little light is very impressive that's a very good company they also make some beautiful flashlights I got to get that light Charles thank you thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I only use turbo when lighting my cigarette.
LOL. Thanks for watching!
This sure as hell is one I want.
Thanks for watching!
Uh, Imalent Makes some Pretty great stuff. Used one of those before and it’s bright alright. Would recommend
Thanks for watching!
One of my closest friends- “fine, show me your stupid flashlight.... Me, ok but, dont point it at your neighbors house! -My buddy “Holy Sh#t!!” .. I told ya careful where ya point that thing hahaha 🤣
BTW Charles should get a sales commission.. W/O him I wouldnt know what an MS13erator was! LoL
Just got mine in today Charles! Wanted to ask what is your favorite combination beam flashlight at the moment?
Nitecore TM26GT is my all time favorite. Thanks for watching!
Thanks you for the review ...
Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for watching!
The LED setup reminds a bit of the famous Olight X7R Marauder.
Kinda but much smaller. Thanks for watching!
Hello Mr. Charles. It was very good review. I have been waiting for this video. Can the flashlight go at 3000 lumens without stepdown?
Yes. But from Turbo is steps down to 2k lumens. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec hello! How long before it steps down from the turbo and high modes?
About 20 seconds for turbo. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review of the flashlight.
What does the abbreviation EDC mean?
Every day carry .
@@saransambhara Thank you for the information. It is not always easy to figure out for foreigners what all those abbreviations means.
Hi Charles loved the video and your thoughts on this little flashlight! I just got it today this morning and never came with the belt clip which is a good thing due to the issue. Can't wait.till it's dark and test this little flashlight out.
Being so powerful I'm going to be using this flashlight as a little hand warmer in the cold winter months. When my hands are freezing they will be kept warm.
Is this the smallest most powerful flashlight in the market? Is there a smaller flashlight that's brighter than this.
I guess this flashlight would start a fire 🔥 easily when you need a fire 🔥. Would this be a bad thing for flashlight wanting a fire?
Quality review and beam shots from you and this tiny flashlight!
Glad you like it. Remember turbo is for short bursts. Thanks for watching!
Awesome light. I was wondering if you tried a regular button top 21700 battery to see if it'll run it on that.because I'd be interested more if it did. Thanks enjoyed the video.
Nope OEM cell will be to short. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec ok, thanks Charles. I'd still buy it.
Good flashlight review, mr Charles, imalent ms06 vs imalent ms03 Which one will you choose?
MS06. Thanks for watching!
I bought the MS03 3 years ago and it plays up some times. IMALENT definitely the brightest flash lights but there not very reliable! As i said I own the MS03 and IMALENT DX80 32000. The DX80 has given me issues when it comes to the battery. I think i will stick to Olight which never gave me issues !!
Thanks for your review 😊
Ok. Olight has had way more issues including recalls. LOL. Thanks for watching!
I have heard of many people having issues with Imalent flashlights, but I own 4; SR32, MR90, RS50 & MS03 and I have never had any issues.
The one Olight flashlight I own; Warrior Pro X came with a defective battery. However these things can happen.
The Olight Marauder mini looks amazing and will be the next one I get.
Thank you very much for your comments. I am about to order a ms03 or r30c. Do you think the ms03 is worth buying or is the r30c good too?
Either one would be good, look for cheaper price. Thanks for watching!
Love these Imalent flashlights. Just recently acquired the LD10, LD70, and MS03.
Thanks for watching!
Wow Nice flashlight 👍
Thanks for watching!
How do u charge the battery from your cellphone adapter or something like the Nitecore Intellicharger I4? This flashlight is on Amazon right now on sale $101 dollar.I heard the flashlight get really hot fast?
Using turbo will generate heat which is normal. You charge the light via USB, its to long for your i4 charger. Thanks for watching!
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.
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." This answer is not acceptable to me.
@@wokwithwong I got more turbo runs at 15 seconds each of 5 times about 5 minutes apart not all at once.
can you do top 5 lists for edc, throw, flood, tactical flashlights to make easier for new people?
If I have time. So many new lights coming soon. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks, what's your recommendation for an excellent edc?
@@nejihiashi convoy S2 very compact, very cheap
Still think about the purchase...But the second player is Mateminco Mt04 with four Xhp50..what do you think would be brighter...Iam not technician at all...Thanks a lot for help.
Imalent MS03 is all I have tested. Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks for watching!
Szkoda miałeś pecha kolego, u mnie tryb turbo działa perfekt. Można rozpalać ogień.
hey charles what flashlight do you prefer the imalent ms03 or the imalent r30c great review btw!
R30C. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec i was thinking of getting one why is the r30c better?
You asked which I preferred.
@@CharlesBridgTec yeah but if i ask whats the best flashlight you prefer under 200dollars

Where does the wrist strap go? It doesnt have a defined location like other flashlight tail caps
Attach to the clip but my sample did not include a good clip. There are holes on the clip to attach it. Thanks for watching!
Hi great video, are the O rings pre installed ? + there`s a spare set ?
Yes, they are pre-installed plus they give extra should on fail. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec just got the MS O3 VERY VERY bright but as you said it does get VERY hot cheers
Beautiful
Thanks for watching!
watching here in dubai......FROM ANDA, BOHOL, PHILIPPINES....
Thanks for watching!
Which has longer turbo run time? This or the FW21 pro? I watched your FW21 pro review before watching this and you mentioned it was able to run turbo for 15 seconds before stepping down.. What about this one? :)
This one is about 10 seconds in cool weather. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thank you, youre the best!
Charles, did you remember if it heated up a lot for extended use on the 3,000 lumens setting? Over an hour on 3k lumens flat output is pretty sweet if there's good thermal dissipation.
Any light on turbo gets toasty and should be used for short bursts. Medium will still heat up but take longer doing so step down may not happen. Thanks for watching!
I was hoping to see no step down for the 3K medium setting. Thanks for the response. I'll grab this guy as a gift for my brother's birthday. He loves fishing, and this should do well for him for late night runs.
I can't wait with Astrolux EC03!
Neither can I. Thanks for watching!.
Could you do a comparison to the E07 and FW21 PRO (if you have them) ?
If I get the FW21 pro. I have alot of new models to review at this time. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec I currently have an E07 so it would nice to see the difference. Thanks for the review 👍
excuse me charles, i want to ask, i have one MSO3, can i replace the imalent ms03 using a non protect battery like the samsung 30t which has been modified to be bottom top or not? because the default MS03 battery is only 10 amperes, while the Samsung 30T 35 amperes, please help answer, thank you
No. They have to be protected cells for unprotected cells are to short. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec If the flat top unprotected battery is added with lead or neodymium magnets, is it possible?
@@arifwidianto3400 Button top will be required you can add magnet to bottom of batteries because the head screws on. You can stack them but heat maybe come an issue on higher drain outputs.
@@CharlesBridgTec oke, i will try
thanks charles, this will be useful. continued success for your channel
Charles hi
I own the dn70, first version. Is the version 2 worth it, to replace my dn70?
Thanks again
I would suggest the R30C but in the form factor no, keep what you got. Thanks for watching!
Was very close to buying, really wanted something to compare/compete with my nitrcore tm9k, but after so many owners complaining of problems with the turbo mode i'am now putting the purchase on hold till someone clears any reservations as regards any inherent faults. Am hoping there is a solution and fix for whatever is the problem !? Price has dropped on certain major websites since these issues have come to light. Have you any new information on solutions ? I've heard the replacements being sent out have the same issue ? Thanks.
I hear some of the batch have excess glue left over after building which can be cleaned to help solve issues of turbo. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec which glue ?
@@munzirrafik7753 Tail spring area. I had none on my sample.
Any idea if this turbo issue solved??. Or else pls recommend a flashlight better than this one with the same size or a little bigger than this.
I’ve had mine for 5 months and never had the red light come on after using turbo quite a bit
I just bought one. The flashlight indicator shows Red light when switched on. 😢
Did you remove the protection piece from battery then fully charge it? Thanks for watching!
How do you compare this with Nitecore TM9K? Which one do you prefer? Why?
Well it all comes down to you and the size you want. I like the Nitecore better but the Imalent batteries is removable. The Nitecore is also bigger than the Imalent so for everyday carry may attract others more. As for performance I don't use Turbo often so Nitecore runs at 1900 lumens until battery is drained. Its really up to you. Thanks for watching!
Charles I just got my MS03 - What are the 2 O Rings for, and where do they go?
Thanks
Those are extra should you damage ones that are on it. They go on the tail cap threads on battery tube. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Ok thanks
Hello ，
Does the battery that comes with the MS03 work with other flashlights? (Acebeamx10 etc.)
It could if they use protected cell lengths. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec
Thank you ！
I only bought MS03 yesterday, I hope it is not a flaw.
There was some glue issues left over during build. Thanks for watching!
Have you ever done a zebra light review as I have / had the sc600w for 3 years was amazing as it was small low to high brightness was the best for it's time, good colour and was easy on the eyes as the beam tapered off really nicely no complaints at all except the metal clip. Oh and they don't lie about the performance. just saying.
Zebra light do not send out samples to reviewers. Thanks for watching!
Bought the flashlight after seein your review. The power button on my unit seems to wobble a bit. Is this normal?
Yeah. Thanks for watching!
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!
Hello there, can we use ms03 battery in r30c, and vice-versa? I just want some spare batteries, plz help
F30C takes a standard 21700 protected cell which is different than the MS03. You can buy them from the Imalent store using link and discount code. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec ok I'll check, thanks for replying, your videos are very helpful, keep up the good work ❤️
Imalent MS03 and Fenix LR35r. Which one would be healthier to choose?
Depends on you and size are a desire. The MS03 is a lot smaller. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thank you sir. so, which flashlight can I use the turbo mode for longer? I think LR35 may be a better option in terms of stability and durability. what are you thinking?
@@batuhanbayram7539 Nitecore TM39 has excellent runtimes on turbo.
Is Nitecore your favorite flashlight brand?

@@CharlesBridgTec all the way frm malaysia.. jan 3 2022 @ 0715 hrs
After watching your video I ordered one, dispatched Sunday and received today, crazy how fast 2 days half way around the world.
Now I'm facing the problem like everyone else with this light and that the red light. Charged the battery 5s of use and can't get to 8000lm nor turbo I see its very common problem with this flashlight.I will be returning it
Tyr to use a dedicated charger for I think its a charging issue as well. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec contacted imalent they said the red light is because of heat, if I unscrew cap little bit and screw it back on turbo works fine again for one shot
Turbo is not made to run continuously so you should not have this problem on high. Take care.
@@CharlesBridgTec that's the thing, I put in fully charged battery turn on turbo for 3-4 seconds and I get red light and I cen hear battery hissing
@@justme19852 Wow. That hissing is the battery venting! Don't uae it anymore.
does the light indicator turn red after a few times used?
I did not let it get that low. Thanks for watching!
Charles how do you lock the switch work won't turn on when it's in your pocket or in the holster my God that single burn a hole through your pants how do you lock it out? Charles
Triple click from off to lock and unlock this light digitally. Manually lock it out by unscrewing tail cap until contact is lost. Thanks for watching!
Hi ehats your favourite light out of all brands and models?
Nitecore TM26GT. I did a video of it as well. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec cheers
Hey Charles, will the 5000ma battery from Imalent work in this flashlight?
It may work but depends on if it can handle turbo. All you can do is try. If turbo works, then you are good to go. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your prompt response. I enjoy watching your reviews.
@@boggsie62 TY!
Can we use battery charger to char7 this 21700 battery?
You can use a GIZFAN Lux 4 LCD which is what I use to charge extra long 21700 cells without issues. 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?
Try charging the battery in a dedicated charger. Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec Okay, let me try, use nitecore i4 charger
@@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?
Imalent reported some lights have excess glue problem in battery contact area. Check yours for this.
I've had this exact flashlight for only a month and have not it exposed it too extreme heat or cold nor has it got wet or abused in any way! That being said I have fully charged the battery and put back into MSO3 and the flashlight no longer works at all whatsoever! I made sure it was clean secure and tight on both ends and it still fails too perform!
Warranty claim it. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec I actually took it apart again and wiped it inside and out really good with a soft dust cloth and put everything back together nice and tight and everything works now 😊 I'm going too purchase the big BEHEMOTH version next 🙃
I recently returned my ms03 I felt like it was getting too hot too fast, I own other imalent lights, but this was getting musher hotter and sooner
No high powered lights are made to run on turbo constantly. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec true, but compared to other imalent models, do you feel the ms03 gets really hot really fast, or about the same?
Due to its size a bit less.
Now I want one, what's the colour temperature on it?
About 5300k. Thanks for watching!
Will you have discount code soon?
Yes working on one. Will update it soon.
Wow I liked this compact edc light. Too powerful for this size thumbs up.
Thanks for watching!
How does the MS03 compare to the TM9K?
I chose the TM9K because if size. But beam types on both are flood. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec performance wise is there a big difference?
Well after step down not really. As for turbo the MS03 is a tiny bit brighter.
About MS03 holding clip:
The clip is free giveaway.for some customers want us to send this clip as a gift.
Its still a bad idea for some will use it and drop their $150 dollar flashlight. I would skip putting it in the box. Thanks for watching!
i have this light. unfortunately mine locks out of turbo and all other modes after a while.
Try to charge battery in a dedicated charger rather than charging it in flashlight. Thanks for watching!
can I use an unprotected 21700 cell on this? (not imalent battery)
No. Thanks for watchimg!
@@CharlesBridgTec can I use any protected 21700 battery instead of imalent battery? in case the imalent battery gets damaged etc?
@@xshn981 Not all protected cells are the same length due to the fact they use different protection circuits. So I really can't say for sure.
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks!! You sir, are the best! Thanks for the reply very informative
Can you mod this in to a thrower?
Possible. Thanks for watching!
I think the purpose of the clip is to avoid rolling of the flashlight or you can say fall proof...
Thanks for watching!
Great review, but seems this light has the same problem I have with me other Imalent lights. The On/Off switch is flush with the flashlight and almost impossible to find in the dark.
Thanks for watching!
Charles, if the clip comes off easily, just pinch it tighter, then slide it back on the flashlight.
That will weaken it more over time. It needs to be stronger. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Hmmm, I've adjusted the grab pressure on these clips both ways before and never had a weakening problem. Just didn't overdo it.
Yeah but the slightest pull of it and the flashlight drops.
In Imalent store your code is giving me 10% instead of 30% or you made just mistake 🤔
Where did I say 30% off? This discount is for the Imalentstore.com, which I only am able to obtain that amount off at this time. Thanks for watching!

When you say toasty do you mean it can burn you're hands?
Yes if used over and over consecutively. Thanks for watching!
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
Is imalent made buy thrunite
No. Thanks for watching!

If they are protected cells due to longer length. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec сколько см нужно?
One
wait, to get the full 13000 Lumens you need around 100 w. 100w/3.7v=27A! This Light draws almost 30A at the Battery...
I am hearing its a Samsung 40T battery under the wrapper which can easily do that for short periods. It performs better in cold weather though. Turbo is limited because of drain. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec The 40T is indeed a 35A cell, I wonder why Imalent chooses to print a lower amperage then... This was the best video on the MS03 so far btw, I think I'm going to order myself one!
That's the protection circuit ratings not the cell, I believe. Take care.
@@janrie7330 Thanks for the support.
@GeeKIller the data sheet of the leds says one has a max amperage of 2400mA at 12V makes 28.8 watts per led max, with some loss in the step up its prob arround 90-100 watts

I know I'm late to the party, but I really do not like this flashlight. I work and patrol outside for 8 to 10 hours a night and need the turbo setting most of that time.

Hey wanna see what dying looks like? *double clicks
Thanks for watching!
I will not be purchasing one of these. I have several Astrolux EC03 6700 lumen lights, and do have a 10000 lumen lumintop FW21 pro on the way. Those 2 lights are already insane for such small lights, and neither is capable of maintaining the maximum for any really usable amount of time, Both get insanely hot as well. In my opinion, before putting 3 70.2 emitters in a tiny light just because you can, someone should be asking if they should. I wish light makers would start focusing on lights that achieve a high sustainable lumen output. Unfortunately, no light even really lists the maximum sustainable lumen output of their lights. For flood or combination lights they focus only on the maximum lumens possible. For throwers, they only focus on the maximum range, even when the size in area of the light thrown is not useful. The Acebeam W30 is actually a laser, and it's throw might be impressive, but is not really useful. I can think of no practical purpose for such a light, other than a beacon so the person using it can be found. I have the Astrolux MF04, with a 2416 meter throw, but its ridiculous size makes it not very practical. The more practical thrower is the Astrolux FT03 SST40-W with an 875 meter throw while being a practical size, and is actually useful when needed. For flood lights the Astrolux EC01, Sofirn IF25, or Olight Seeker 2 pro are good choices. The Thrunite TN42 is perhaps useful for search and rescue, but is still too large for much else. If I were to be stranded on a deserted Island with only 2 lights I own with many batteries, I would choose the Astrolux FT03 SST40-W, and the Sofirn SD05, which can also be used underwater as it is a dive light. Both are also fairly inexpensive. As a collector. I do like having some extreme lights like the MF04, and my MF01S as an extreme flood of 15000 lumens. Those 2 are on the outside edges of useful lights though, so I will pass on the MF05, and this Imalent MS03. You can go bankrupt trying to always have the longest thrower or highest lumen lights like the Imalent MS18 100,000 lumen monster that is over 600 dollars. I picked the MF04 up for 160 and that is sticker shock enough.
Thanks for watching!
Could u pls reccommend a powerful flood flash light better than MS03 with the same size or a little bigger.
Thanks in advance
