True. I like Thrunite very much, but they are currently not offering the type of lights like the DT70 or DT35. Nitecore does, however they are abusing their position as an established brand and charge $400 for the TM28ā¦ Totally ugh that is. The Imalents have USB charging and oled display, which I like very muchā¦ So they do have my attentionā¦a lotā¦
Yep Iām much the same, like the look of the imalent dt70, but not at the price it is.
ive got the first version of the imalent ddt40 had it since it first came out, use it most days and itās pretty much my go to light, well thought out and very well constructed and with in torch charging that works, hopefully the dt70 will be as good or better, just waiting for a review or two to come out before I consider it.
Made that mistake of not waiting for the reviews before I bought the DN11, good torch but the touch button doesnāt work as well as it does on the ddt40,especially with gloves,but still good value for the price I paid
And I certainly havenāt forgotten the HR20 drama: a lot of samples with flickering issues, and things falling apart. Terrible wiring and build qualityā¦ You just donāt know what to getā¦
O yes, Iād forgotten about the HR20 - donāt know how, I bought 3 of them -
Was expecting good things after my experience with the ddt40, but they were a bit of a let down, to say the least.
I know we were pre warned they were new and untested, but even so.
Hopefully imalent will redeem themselves with these latest models, as they can make quality stuff with inovative features
Never understood that statement. All groupbuys of new lights involve new lights we donāt know how itās going to performā¦ Or was it a special batch or something? I thought it was the actual production version but I could be wrongā¦
Certainly not all, from my limited experience of owning 5, as I said my imalent ddt40 is a great light, Iāve got probably 150 lights from various manufacturers and that is one of my most used lights, Iāve bashed it, dropped it used it underground, had it caked in mud and water and itās carried on working perfectly, would have no hesitation in recommending it, even the holster was very well made.
The DN11 was ok quality wise,but the touch button could have been better as itās very hit and miss, especially with gloves on.
The 3 imalent hr20 though, I was really disappointed with, as hIKARInoob said, they had problems bad wiring, bits falling of etc etc, they didnāt even get USB correctly printed, and for me the worst bit was they were ment to be ipx8 rated, mine were no more waterproof than the titanic was unsinkable.
Whatās the point of a headtorch that you canāt use outside in the rain.
It probably wonāt put me off buying more imalent stuff, - Iām looking at getting the dt70 - but Iāll be sure to wait until there are a good few reviews on here before I buy in future
There is a new video on the DT70 from WeAllJuggleKnives. It seems to be hard to find at the moment. It was a good review, but did not get too technical. IDK, maybe Imalent told him to not publish it yet, so he took it down? Iāll post a link if I can find it again.
I had to re-edit it because I misquoted one of the stats, but donāt worry I am going to repost the review as soon as Banggood gets more of them available (theyāre currently sold out, so I figure I should just wait until they have some available).ā
