As a consumer grade flashlight they are okay. I would never pay full price for an Imalent if i can score a HR20 for around 30 USD that is still a good buy.
After taking a few apart they are not that great when compared to say Nitecore or Olight but still want to charge the same and or more. You can see where they save money i had LED wires come of from just tightening the bezel. I am sure if i left it alone it may have been okay for a while unless i dropped it.
Lumen numbers i guess they like to state theoretical numbers. So maybe this light will have 8 XHP70s.
Interesting you mention a sales rep. If there were an Imalent sales rep, just like some vendors have here, isn’t that going to be in the benefit for us? If we receive a funky light we can get some assistance smoothing the warranty process? Look at what happened to Franz with his Klarus G30… Just wondering… And come on, that DX80 is a monster, and the discount price will be really, really good…
I can’t comment on their quality/reliability, but I do like how Imalent attempts to make their high output flashlight beams more balanced by emphasizing throw. Like the DT70 with its dedomed/sliced XHP70s.
