IMALENTMS32W Brightest Flashlight 200,000 Lumens, Cree XHP70.2 LEDs Tactical Flashlights High Lumens with 8 Modes Type-C Rechargeable Flash Light for Outdoor, Emergency and Caving (MS32W)

The media could not be loaded. I got this flash light thinking its going to be like all those others they claim to be so bright but they always fall short of what they claim... well not this one!!! its so bright it will burn your hand if you put it in front of it. It claim it is 200000 lumens but there is no way I can measure that and also claims 345 hours which I really doubt but I've never tested it that long, but thats ok I can always recharge it with the type C connector. Its heavy and most of its weight comes from the huge battery it does come with s shoulder strap and you can charge other device from its battery... it also claims its the brightest flash light in the work and that might just be true!

The IMALENT MS32W is a powerhouse in the world of portable lighting. On brightness alone, it’s an absolute titan—by far the brightest flashlight I’ve ever used. Output is visually jaw-dropping. The build quality of the main unit is robust, the LEDs are blisteringly intense, and thermals are well managed. On light quality and core engineering, this thing gets five stars all day.But let’s talk about what they didn’t get right—because there’s a lot.⚠ Strap System = Major Design FlawFirst, the strap failed within the first hour of use—snapped while I was crossing a creek bed, nearly dumping the flashlight into the water. The included strap is shockingly cheap, more in line with dollar-store accessories than a flagship $800 product. I had to jury-rig a replacement using a cord from my bag.Worse yet, the strap mounting system is poorly conceived and poorly placed. The unit has multiple strap holes, but their placement is non-ergonomic and borderline dysfunctional:There are three mount holes on the front, but no effective way to balance the weight properly using them.The rear attachment option is even worse—it connects to a screw-off disc that must be removed every time you access the charging port. Because that disc is just threaded, normal use or bouncing motion causes it to loosen over time, risking detachment mid-use. If you're moving fast or pushing against something (as often happens in outdoor conditions), it can and will unscrew.There is no locking mechanism on this rear disc, which is unacceptable for a product in this price range. A simple pin-lock or click-lock system could resolve this flaw entirely.🚫 Strap Mounting Orientation – Another MissAdditionally, the flashlight lacks any strap connection point on the top of the handle—which would allow it to hang upright and snug against the user's body. Instead, when worn with the existing mounting points, the flashlight rotates sideways, causing the handle to stick outward. That design choice turns a premium light into a tree branch magnet—snagging constantly during hikes, brush clearing, or tactical movement.The unit should be redesigned with a top-rail or rear-centered strap mount, angled so that when worn, the light tucks neatly into the body. This is basic ergonomics and critical for field users.🌧 Water Resistance Is LackingThe MS32W is only rated IP56—resistant to dust and high-pressure water jets, but not immersion-proof. The exposed side fan ports remain a concern, especially for outdoor users near water sources or in unpredictable weather. At this price, IP68 or optional full waterproofing should be offered. This device is marketed like a tactical or expedition-grade tool, but it can’t confidently survive water exposure.Return Process = Painfully InconvenientTo top it off, IMALENT only offers UPS pickup for returns—no drop-off options at UPS or Kohl’s. This is a logistical nightmare if you’re not home often. It significantly delays any warranty support or exchange.VerdictLight Quality: ★★★★★Core Build Quality: ★★★★★Strap Design & Durability: ★☆☆☆☆Ergonomics & Mounting Logic: ★★☆☆☆Water Resistance: ★★☆☆☆Return Process: ★☆☆☆☆Final Thoughts:The MS32W is a technological triumph crippled by design oversight. If IMALENT fixes the strap system, adds proper mounting points, and improves waterproofing, this would easily be a 5-star legend. But until then, it's a $800 flashlight with serious practical limitations that should make you think twice—especially if you’re planning to use it in real-world conditions.

This flashlight is more like professional lighting equipment given the weight and brightness. The 100W GaN USB C charger does get a little hot when you are charging the light. It is extremely important to read all the directions before use to understand how to activate the different modes and to find the charging port since it is underneath a screw cap. They need to make the instruction sheet with a more readable size font instead of insect level otherwise it is a well designed product overall. My goal is to use this for experimental night photography projects.
