[Review] - Imalent R70C - XHP70.2, 6500 lumen, 403500cd, 1270mt - by Lock

hello I come from Reggio Calabria and the photos of this review were made in two different places:

in the Aspromonte mountains https://goo.gl/maps/Bzg36iyBuLr

and in an area called Pentimele where there are the ancient fortifications built in antiquity to control the passage of enemy ships and to defend the port https://goo.gl/maps/uQdWekzLXiT2

Grazie mille Enrico! :-)

Did you try to send an email to imalent boss ? Maybe he might able to build one for you.

I emailed Imalent and said I would buy the R90C and MS12 if they make neutral white option and there response is:

That email doesnt make sense to me. Lol. I guess they dont understand what you said.

Imalent know people like xhp70.2 nw and they make a cw instead… what ?

Yes. Imalent did the right thing going with the xhp70 instead of xhp70.2 on the ms12.

Tell them about blf gt xhp70.2 NW and mf02s xhp70.2 nw… do they realize many blf guys like NW ???

Xhp70.2 NW is GOLD.

Νice review.Any measurement about candela and indensity?

I did try to convince them by pointing them to the GT70 survey. They don’t seem to get it. Language barrier I think.

I think they are losing a ton of sales by not offering NW. I tried convincing them to sell 4500k-5000k almost a year ago with the DX80, but they said very little people like NW!!! I think their surveys must have been conducted in China where the general preference is CW. In the US, I believe more people prefer NW.

next time I meet Imalent I try in person to make them like NW ;)

May be i am invisible.Anything about the throw Lock?

Hi, I did some rough tests with the luxmeter and I got these value:

3942 lux to 10m --> 394200cd

963 lux to 20m --> 385200cd

Thanks for info. Near specs

I get a trojan warning from malwarebytes whilst viewing this thread.

This light isnt getting any LOVE.

^ It will. The light is unbelievably compact, light (in weight) and easy to handle. Combine that with it's quality and performance and you got a winner. I wish it had a switch that was always lit for easier location. Also lanyard attachment would be nice.

I hope it does, i might order it this Fri…you can get for under $200…so what the hey…

I think because the GT70 and MF04S were released before the R70C, most people who like this kind of light already have one. Also the R70C is only available in CW, while more people prefer NW.

I bet your right, if it came out sooner…people would be all up on it.

Well, just got it, nice light, but my LED is off center, hot spot ses fine, but theres a bright eing around the carona? Does anybody else have this light? Can you tell me if yours is the same?

That's not good. At this price range, your light should not have a problem like that. I just tried to unscrew my bezel. I stopped when I got to a point where I thought I might damage the bezel. All I can say is that if its out of place, the reflector may be bent. The centering ring looks pretty beefy and everything in this light seems close tolerance. I would contact the vendor immediately. Sorry for the blurry shot. It's late and I need to go crash.

Thanks for that, mine is like this
