Imalent DT70 / DT35 / DN70 / DN35 great prices!

sent the codes..

i do not have received any sample

the germans at TLF reviewed some of teh Imalents already....

Yeah, that’s the reviews I saw. Would be good to see some others to know if what they report is true or not.

Email sent.

I would like to see that review as well!!! Do you have a link to the review? Perhaps someone here that has already ordered one can comment! I found the run times on this Imalent DT70 here: IMALENT DT70 XHP70 16000LM Taktische USB wiederaufladbare LED Taschenlampe Sale - Banggood Deutschland sold out-arrival notice-arrival notice

Seems to me that the run times are not accurate! 2 hours at 8,000 lumens and 1-1/2 hours at 16,000 lumens??? :person_facepalming:

too bad this light is out of my reach right now :person_facepalming:

Here is a link to the Imalent flashlight company’s business license if anyone is curious to know like me:

Looks like more Chinese garbage I mean hype! :smiling_imp:

What is wrong with them being Chinese?

Can you please link me a flashlight that is made from 100% made in USA parts? Not just screwed together in good ole youu eesss aaaayy I want something that has an american made led, american body, american made wires, resistors, switches, springs.

all 4 pls & reviews link as well thanks

Personally I have had nothing but problems when dealing with Chinese products! Just recently I had ordered some Convoy lights and accessories and they just can’t seem to get things right! I’m not saying that every product is bad, just stating the facts that most products are not quality controlled and you will have problems!

Perhaps now with President Trump in office, maybe we will start seeing some flashlights all made in the USA!!! I’d much rather pay a little more for quality, then less for junk!

They are in German. Hoping some more reviews start to appear soon.

My DN70 should be here today so as long as the weather isn’t rubbish I should get out to play with it tonight.

Problem is those batteries take a while to charge so if it comes with a depleted battery I wont be going anywhere tonight.

Thanks for the link! I had to use Google Chrome to translate! :person_facepalming:

After reading the review by RS.Freak, it appears that the DT70 is really a good flashlight besides the real lumen output advertised by the manufacturer! The run times he stated were a surprise to me as well! :open_mouth:

Hopefully someone else can chime in that has purchased one! My intentions were not to criticize anyone here, but rather point out my past experiences with Chinese products! Perhaps this DT70 is a really nice flashlight! I will wait and see if anyone else that has purchased one will give their inputs on this flashlight!

I also wanted to add that looking at that German forum, the 18650 batteries (rated at 3000mAh) appear to be running in parallel for this DT70? If that is the case, then can somebody explain to me how you can achieve over 8,000 lumens from (4) XHP70’s that will run for 3-4 hours in cold weather? I’m having a hard time configuring this out! :person_facepalming:

BoxCarWillie: I think it says they’re running 2S2P. I’m not sure because google translation is not good. Further, it’d need an astonishing booster to get that output if running in parallel…

I’m sure they are measuring it like Olight does, it will do 8,000 lumen for a certain time, like 1, 2, maybe 3 minutes, then step down in power and continue for the other 3 or 4 hours. It won’t/can’t maintain 8000 lumen for 3 or 4 hours.

That’s what I’d be hoping as well. Though you’d expect the guys on the other forum would have expected that and accounted for it.

So both the German guy and Imalent are liars! :rage:

The ANSI FL-1 standard is the problem here, it’s complete bullcrap and allow manufacturers to make outlandish/misleading claims.

This standard needs to die.

Let’s do the math. For a single XHP70 to run at 2,000 lumen it would need about 2.25 amps. Multiply times 4 to get 8,000 lumen and you need 9 amps. Let’s say we used the best quality batteries currently availabe, 4 3500mah sized 18650’s. They could only pull 9 amps for around 1 hour or so maybe.

To get 3 hours of 8,000 lumen output you’d need 12 batteries, maybe more, plus fans to blow constantly across the light to keep it cool. So yeah, I guess they lied.

A similar light is the Olight X7 which uses 3 xhp70 and 4 18650 (3500mah) batteries and can output 9,000 lumens. It can do 9000 lumen for 2.5 minutes then drops down to 1800 lumen for another 200 minutes.

If you start it in 5500 lumen mode it will go 8 minutes, then step down to 1800 lumen for 215 minutes.

If you start it in 3000 lumen mode it will go 32 minutes, then step down to 1800 lumen for 200 minutes.

If you start it in 1000 lumen mode it will maintain that for 6.5 hours.

So you can’t defy physics. No light currently made can maintain 8,000 lumen for 3 hours off of 4 18650 batteries. It’s not possible.

DN70 arrived…

It’s tiny
It’s bright
It’s … .er…. rather “cheap” when you look at the walls etc but it bloody works.
I’m sure it will survive being thrown around a fair bit but it is so small and lightweight it seems a bit cheap.

I’d still buy another… oh… I have already :smiley:
