Designed for Convenience, Built for Versatility | The EDC Flashlight for Work, Travel & Exploration
For outdoor adventurers, professionals, and anyone needing a reliable and versatile light source, the IMALENT GR36 Clip EDC Flashlight is here to redefine everyday carry illumination. Launched on Kickstarter by IMALENT, a brand renowned for pushing the boundaries of flashlight technology, the GR36 combines a potent beam with unique hands-free capabilities and multiple light modes, making it an indispensable tool for any situation.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: IMALENT GR36 new peak clip flashlight-as bright as car light by IMALENT
What It Is: The IMALENT GR36 is a compact, high-performance Every Day Carry (EDC) flashlight featuring a versatile design that allows for hands-free operation. It boasts a powerful main beam, a broad floodlight, a specialized UV mode, and a warm light mode, all encased in a durable, magnetic body, designed to be always ready when you need it and disappear when you don't.
Key Features
Mind-Blowing Brightness & Throw: Don't let its compact size fool you. The GR36 delivers a jaw-dropping 2800 lumens in its Turbo Beam mode, projecting a focused beam up to 238 meters (780 feet) away. This makes it bright enough for navigating dark trails, inspecting distant objects, or illuminating large areas.
Quad-Mode Versatility: The GR36 is a true 4-in-1 lighting solution:
Turbo Beam (Spotlight): Intense, focused light for long-distance illumination.
Moonlight Mode: A gentle, low light setting perfect for reading maps, navigating in the dark without disturbing others, or extending battery life significantly.
UV Mode: Emits a 365nm UV light, essential for spotting leaks, stains, scorpions, or verifying security markings on documents.
Warm Light Mode: Provides a soft, diffused illumination that's easy on the eyes, ideal for indoor use, camping tents, or close-up tasks.
Hands-Free, Worry-Free Operation: This is where the GR36 truly shines for EDC:
Strong Magnetic Base: The tail cap features a powerful magnet, allowing you to securely attach the flashlight to any metal surface, freeing your hands for work or repairs.
Secure Pocket/Gear Clip: An integrated clip allows you to securely attach the GR36 to your belt, backpack strap, hat brim, or pocket, keeping it readily accessible and allowing you to direct light hands-free.
Ultra-Light & Compact Design: Weighing less than a smartphone, the GR36 is designed to be effortlessly portable. It slips easily into a pocket or clips onto gear, making it unobtrusive until needed.
Intuitive Operation: The GR36 is designed for simplicity. Users can smoothly rotate the head/body to switch between the different light modes.
Durable & Reliable Build: Crafted with IMALENT's commitment to high standards, the GR36 undergoes rigorous testing for water resistance, shock resistance, and overall durability, ensuring it can handle challenging environments and everyday wear and tear. It's built to be a reliable tool that works when you need it.
Powered by High-Capacity Battery: While specifics on the battery size (e.g., 18650 or 21700) aren't always explicitly in the initial Kickstarter overview, IMALENT flashlights typically use high-capacity, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (like 18650 or 21700) for extended runtimes and powerful output. They often feature built-in USB-C charging.
Rewards
SImalent GR36 (Single Unit): For some reason they placed this as $38.96....but KS only allows for whole number dollar values. $39.
Additional pack units: It is rather confusing why they wanted it to end at $xx.96. This theme continues for the rest of the items.
The Idea
Concept: To create the ultimate EDC flashlight that combines extreme brightness and multiple specialized light modes with an innovative hands-free design and ultra-portability, making it an indispensable tool for any task or adventure.
Inspiration: IMALENT, a brand dedicated to pushing flashlight technology, identified a persistent need for a compact light that doesn't compromise on power or versatility, especially for situations where hands are occupied. They recognized that while many EDC lights exist, few seamlessly integrate high output with practical hands-free functionality across diverse lighting needs (spot, flood, UV, warm). The GR36 is born from a desire to provide a tool that works when you need it and disappears when you don't, embodying the perfect balance of exceptional design, real-world performance, and effortless portability for everyday adventurers, problem-solvers, and night owls alike.
