- 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. - Jak na to + styl
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 👍😊
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!
just came across you vlog as im always looking at torches . bloody great review . look forward to seeing more . rob from Australia .
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.
What a thoroughly detailed review! Thanks so much :)
Great review! Thank you.
Excellent Video! Fantastic Product! Thanks!
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.
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
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!! 👍👍
Great review. Thank you, Sir.
thank you 🙏
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
Absolutely great video thank you for sharing it 👍
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.
Really interesting. I can imagine, a younger version of me, doing anything to get hold of one of those!
1st time of seeing channel, have subscribed, very impressed, thanks :)
Excellent Excellent Excellent video THANK YOU!!!
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 👍

Ive just subed to your channel thank you for their info on the torch, lit looks amazing
I will feed my flash L addiction with this new beast. Thanks. Great video
you're welcome 👍
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.
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.
This will be extremely useful when I unearth and explore the Temple of Doom. Thanks! I had no idea something like this existed.
This is a great review, the flashlight looks really good and it is incredibly bright. I consider Purchasing it.
Thanks, Enjoyed, Been a sucker for torches for 50+ years, Have quiet a few super ones. later from Texas, usa.
greetings Texas 👍
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.
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!
Must have 😑🤤 Great Video thanks.
Great review thank you
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 👍
I swear CZcams has been pushing more of your content to my recommendations, man. As a result, I ordered a Workchamp.
Hopefully that's a good thing 😬
Great review 👍
I'ma new sub to your chann because I find the content fascinating thanks for sharing
That's bright. I bet it's a heater. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video👍👍the flashlight is fantastic 🤩👍
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”!
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.
Looks like a great flashlight for when you go camping and then freak yourself out about sounds in the middle of the night!
very good looking torch
I might strap on a couple of these as front headlights 🚘
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 🤨🤨
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.
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
It looks verry nice.
I would love to have one
Blimey! Cool!
This is the first time I hear Jonathan swear on camera, it was indeed a "wtf" moment haha. Nice review as always.
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
great video .. super flashlight .. deadly strobe intensity .
I have one...we use turbo to start up our barbecue. Will burn paper or melt plastics easily....Awesome Beast of a light👍
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?
Jon happy Thursday 4th Nov.2021, CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 10K Followers, on to 100K Followers ASAP !
Thanks Steve for your support 🙏😊
Congrats on being blessed by the CZcams algorithm. Just found your channel.
great to hear 👍 welcome 😊
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.
Impressive number of views!
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. 😂
very nice!
Awesome
Awesome review
Thanks!
@@JonGadget you’re welcome I like your content
Good stuff.
My Fenix P1 turned on in my EDC burned the pack and burnt out the lens. Screwing it a bit is great advice.
Very powerful 🌞
Nice review Jon.
Thanks!
They also make a warm light version of this, which I think would be a better option.
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.
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.
looks like it would fit nice in your cup holder
Cool Video 👍
Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍
U got a new subscriber...
Welcome to the channel and thank you 😊
Did it come with an oven mitt for when it gets hot?
I need that for my bike light
The neighbors when Jon tests it on High: "There's a UFO outside!!!"
I am very much interested in this flashlight especially when I'm legally blind and helped turn night into day for me to see
Nice backdrop, man.
When I think back to the LEDs I played with as a child in the 1970s that were pretty much only useful for direct viewing like pilot lights or calculators, I am constantly floored by the luminous flux that can be achieved today.
I agree!
So true.
I think back to my 4 D cell Maglite. I now have a single AA flashligh that is brighter than it was.
My daily carry for about eight years is a Fenix pd32 and it is as bright as a vehicle headlight.
I could get a more powerful light but I have yet to feel underpowered.
Yea not too bright, pun intended.
@@JonGadget Jon in Fenix HT 18 and Nitecore P30i which is best and more powerful flashlight. Need your Advice
@@javedali-te2xc both makers are good so you can't go far wrong - specs on Nitecore are better 2000lm vs 1500lm and 1000m range vs 925m range. I will be testing P30i soon - I have it here now and it looks great - but have not seen the Fenix. Nitecore has USB-c charging socket built in - Fenix includes filters. Both compact. Hope that helps a little.
11:13 how many pushes can the button take before it loses contact?
You are great.
Nice vid. Thanks for sharing. What camera / lens did you use for this video (in your studio) - thanks
cameras are both Sony Zv-1 😊
Very cool! As already posted my main concerns would be the longevity of the charging cable connection and the battery. I paid $125 for a CR-123 powered 500 lumen two-level handheld “defender” flashlight last year (with a crenellated impact bezel and tail cap switch) so this price isn’t out of line. I really like that 4-press lockout feature; never seen that feature before. Thanks for the great review. 👍
Thanks for the feedback - agree re charging cable
Hi Jon, after watching your review of this flood lite I ordered one on Nov 24th. I did so directly from the imalent store as opposed thru Amazon bcuz it was significantly cheaper!$! 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
£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!
I'll save this film,it cured my insomnia
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!
🤣🤣🤣
Excelente 👌
How would you compare it with the NiteCore TM 26 ?
Nice video. CRI value for this light?
"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 👍
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?
My issue has always been the over sensitivity of the switch on these types. I have a "thrower" for security work 4200 lm, and am constantly switching on unintentional y.
yes, this one is too sensitive too - tail switch better option in the main
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.
Are there new victorinox swiss army knives alternative for huntsman victorinox? Or it is still the best for travel , now also?
load of options if you check the website - Huntsman I use for outdoor - Compact for EDC - Explorer for work
Hello, very good video. If you must make a decision from MS06 and R60C who would choose ?
Hi. I've not reviewed the R60C but reflector profile provides greater reported range of over 1KM. So depends if you want range or flood I think.
Very cool, im gonna buy one for my cross country Tesla trip👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Have fun!
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
Would this be good for just a reading light?
The cord would double as a belt for the case and you should be able to plat it up when using it as a lanyard on your wrist.
Hello Jon, love your glasses. What brand is this?
