Review - Lumintop ODF30 XHP70.2 3500lm 19600cd 280m - by Lock

Awesome, thanks for the great review with beautiful pictures, it reminds me to go outdoor right for the time, good job! :+1:

Nice review & great pics. I would appreciate if you could do compare beamshots between Rofis MR70 & ODF30. It is very hard to see actually Tint, brightness & a beam pattern without the comparison beamshot.

hi...you can see my review on CPF Italia of the Rofis MR70 Here . You can compare "Beamshots del Main LED (Low-Mid-High-Turbo)" of MR70 with "Beamshot #1" of the Lumintop ODF30.

Great review & pictures. Thanks :smiley:

Thanks for the lengthy reviews and pics!

In my review I found that the parasitic drain was 0.05Amps. Could you check that? I just unscrewed the tailcap to meaure when turned off and measured between 0.02A and 0.05A.

Edit: I guess it's my reading... I just can't understand how to read my DMM.. It just says 0.05

ok i checked...the parasitic drain in my ODF30 is 51uA (0,051mA or 0,000051A) .

With a 26650 5200mAh battery the teorical runtime is 101960h (4248 days or 11 years) XD

Hmm. Maybe i jist didnt read it good enough. Are you sure it's not 0.05A? :)

XD...yes i'm sure...In the photo you can see the used scale in the multimeter (uA) and the measured value 51,2uA :)

Yep, seen it.. Need to double check it on mine...

Hi there, great review! I am keen on getting either the Rofis MR70 or the Lumintop ODF30. Wich one do you prefer, and why?

I am leaning towards the Rofis MR70 due to the USB port and the included battery. But it is more expensive.

I had an extremely negative experience with the Imalent DX80 so I avoid all Imalent and anything resembling Imalent. Rofis MR70 reminds me of Imalent. I would choose Lumintop ODF30!

I will ask, out of curiosity, what is wrong with the imalent? I’ve never had any lamps from this producer, that’s why I’m even more interested.

The minor thing was that the supplied charger will fail. Every one of them whether black tip or yellow tip. You will need to purchase a laptop charger from eBay or Amazon to replace it. The major thing was that my DX80, after a couple of uses, and me treating it well as a shelf queen (no abuse; not even drop or bump against any object; even the lens was smudge-free) it ceased to turn on. The battery pack was fully charged because I swapped it out with another DX80 (I used to be a big Imalent fan; even to the point of going on YouTube and liking every Imalent review video) and it was not the battery pack nor connection. It was obviously the electronics in the head. This is not anything I could do to fix it. I venture that even a seasoned modder would have a time figuring out after getting the head open due to the electronics.

Long story short: I got an RMA from Shellen at Imalent and carefully boxed it up and shipped it with a local Chinese courier (located on Valley Blvd. and Del Mar Ave. in San Gabriel Valley, California), that my wife and I have used multiple times without fail (I am Chinese myself). Imalent claims to NEVER have received my RMA package.

$300 lost. Imalent? No more Imalent for me. Anything resembling an Imalent (electronic click instead of a depressed button) is out for me too. I lost well over $300 for nothing. “Thanks” to Imalent.

After such experiences, I am not surprised. I would be very disappointed myself. On the basis of various opinions, I have removed a few companies from the shopping list. Such a forum is a treasure.

wow excellent review! must be the best one i seen in a long time here and very nice photos also wow!

Wow! A really useful & detailed review with lots of useful information & visuals. Hope you get the opportunity to review other upcoming flashlights too.

I have the Rofis MR70 since a month. Very happy with it. I use it while biking at night. The UI is great. I use the triple-click strobe occasionally for a couple of seconds too. So much brighter than a car headlight even!

The Lumintop ODF30 is similar. The cheaper cousin. It is priced well if compared to its more premium & feature rich cousin.

I note that the thermal/timed output runtimes of both are quite similar at Turbo & High.

I love this picture heavy review. Actually, flashlight review should be picture base. The picture with test images gives the clear idea about that flashlight. Lumintop has produced some quality tactical flashlights http://totalguide.org/best-tactical-flashlight. The 3500 lumens means higher brightness. I am thinking to get this one.

Very nice review Lock. :+1:

Can you explain how you measured the lumens?

I have a JoshK sphere and all my lumen measurements were about 13% less than rated.

Also, have you tried to look at the driver or switch? They seem to be glued.

Yes, I have some doubts here as well.

I recently got hold of the Rofis MR70 and the brightness factor doesn’t seem to be much different considering the near total flood the beam throws out.

The Lumintop ODF30 seems to be more brighter in the centre due to formation of a hot spot making the beam a bit throwier but sacrificing some useful floodiness… most perceptible at its high & mod nodes, rather than turbo.
