Imalent SR16 55000LM 1715m Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight Description
The Imalent SR16 55000LM 1715m Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight is a high-performance searchlight designed for long-range illumination, ideal for search-and-rescue, hunting, and emergency use. For example, its 55,000-lumen output with a 1715m throw can illuminate distant targets during a night operation, ensuring visibility in challenging conditions. With a removable handle and magnetic charging, it offers practical functionality. Featuring a 2-year warranty, this Imalent SR16 for Tactical Use suits law enforcement, survivalists, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Powerful Illumination for Tactical and Long-Range Use
The Imalent SR16 utilizes 16 American CREE XHP50.3 HI LEDs, delivering a maximum output of 55,000 lumens with a beam throw of 1715m and a peak intensity of 736,000 candela, making it one of the farthest-throwing multi-LED flashlights available. It features seven brightness modes, including a Moonlight mode, Turbo, and Strobe, accessible via a side switch or a handle-mounted switch:
- Turbo: Brightest setting for maximum visibility.
- High: Strong illumination for extended range.
- Middle II: Balanced output for sustained use.
- Middle I: Moderate brightness for general tasks.
- Middle Low: Lower output for longer runtime.
- Low: Energy-saving mode for prolonged use.
- Moonlight: Minimal light for extended runtime.
- Strobe: Disorienting flash for emergencies.
The runtimes with the built-in 4x 21700 16000mAh battery pack are as follows: - Turbo (55,000 lumens):
42 seconds
Drops to 11,000 lumens: 50 minutes - High (23,000 lumens):
3 minutes
Drops to 11,000 lumens: 48 minutes - Middle II (11,000 lumens):
52 minutes - Middle I (4200 lumens):
2 hours - Middle Low (2800 lumens):
3 hours - Low (1200 lumens):
7 hours - Moonlight (50 lumens):
98 hours - Strobe (55,000 lumens):
Not specified (typically similar to Turbo runtime)
Powered by a built-in 4x 21700 16000mAh lithium-ion battery pack, it features a magnetic USB charging system (cable included), taking approximately 2 hours to fully charge. The flashlight is IP56 water-resistant (resistant to water jets and dust) and impact-resistant to 0.5m, ensuring reliability in wet or rough conditions, though its 1130g weight with battery may feel heavy for handheld use without the handle. This makes it a specialized choice for long-range tactical applications, though users should note the brief Turbo mode runtime and plan for recharging or battery swaps during extended use.
Durable and Compact Design
The Imalent SR16 is constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy with a Type III hard-anodized black finish, ensuring durability and resistance to wear in rugged outdoor conditions. It measures 158mm in length, with a 109mm head diameter and 56mm body diameter, weighing 1130g with the battery, making it a substantial but manageable searchlight. The flashlight features a toughened ultra-clear mineral glass lens with an anti-reflective coating and an aluminum SMO reflector for optimal beam performance, along with a removable metal handle with a built-in switch for easy operation, though some left-handed users may find the handle switch placement less ergonomic, as noted in web information. It includes built-in cooling fans and a thermal control module to manage heat, though the fans can be audible on higher modes, and the light may get hot (up to 65°C) during extended use, as reported by users. Its IP56 rating ensures dust and water resistance, but it's not submersible, and the 0.5m impact resistance is relatively low, so users should avoid drops. This makes it a durable choice for tactical use, though users should handle it carefully to avoid damage and consider the weight for prolonged handheld use.
Designed for Tactical and Outdoor Use
The Imalent SR16 for Tactical Use is tailored for law enforcement, survivalists, and outdoor enthusiasts needing extreme long-range illumination for search-and-rescue, hunting, or emergency scenarios. For example, its 55,000-lumen Turbo mode with a 1715m throw can illuminate objects over a mile away during a search operation, while the 50-lumen Moonlight mode provides up to 98 hours of runtime for extended emergencies, though some users have reported the actual throw may be closer to 1375m, as noted in web information, which still offers impressive range but falls short of the claimed 1715m. The light's seven brightness modes offer versatility, and its IP56 rating ensures reliability in wet or dusty conditions, such as during rainy searches, though the brief Turbo mode duration and heat generation may limit its use for sustained high-output tasks. The SR16's handle design and dual switches (on the handle and body) enhance usability, but the lack of a true momentary-on feature in some modes may be a drawback for tactical users needing quick bursts of light. It's ideal for those needing a powerful, long-throwing searchlight for outdoor and tactical scenarios, offering a balance of brightness and range, though users should plan for recharging or battery swaps and be mindful of its heat and weight for extended use.
