    Note: the Imalent MS12 Mini has been updated, andnow includes USB-C charging. Check out our review of the new Imalent MS12 Mini C<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hey, wait a minute. Didn’t we already review the Imalent MS12? Yep, but this is a newer version, the MS12 MINI, and is way, way, way smaller, and more powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The MS12 Mini replaces the 12*XHP70 in the MS12 for 12*XHP70.2 LEDs. Plus, it replaces a huge battery pack (8*18650), for a short battery pack with only 4*21700 batteries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the time of writing, this is the most powerful compact flashlight in the world. It can even fit in some pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Anyway, Imalent seems to be the only flashlight manufacturer that tries to keep extremely powerful flashlights<\/a>. If you look at the page linked, Imalent fills a few spots in the list of the brightest flashlights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the past, Imalent used to be one of the most forward striving manufacturers, and one of the first manufacturers using OLED touch screens, and tint mixing. For all new members on r\/flashlight (Reddit) welcome to the world of flashlights, but keep in mind that tint mixing isn’t anything new… Imalent did this back in 2014 or 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Anyway, we’re now looking at the MS12 MINI with 65,000 lumens, 3 built-in fans, ran off a 4*21700 battery pack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Package quality.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The MS12 Mini is shipped in a cardboard box, with a couple of accessories inside. This is what’s inside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
