Review - Imalent RT70 XHP 70.2 5,500 Lumen Monster!!!

Thanks for confirming unprotected button tops will work. I was under the impression from a test on the RT35, that only protected were going to be long enough to make contact. Been waiting for actual readings on this. Hmm…5,000+ lumens is close to spec, but 900m throw isn’t. So it’s more like 660m for 110Kcd??

Thanks for the review. I wonder why they didn’t shave the dome like the Acebeam K65. The tint on that emitter also looks very green. I hope the bezel is not glued so at least modders can have access to replace the emitter.

Thank you for the nice and detailed review, I wonder how that lanyard was tied, would love to have that for other lights. Anyone knows how to tie one of these?

Got anymore pictures? I am assuming is a slip knot on the flashlight bezel, right? Got anymore pictures?

Thanks!

My measured cd was lower as stated so probbaly more around 600 or so as you say, still a very powerful flashlight, but not as stated I suggest

Thanks for reading. I was really exciting to have the chance to review one as I’ve got so many flashlights in the 1000 or less Lumen range and only one over 2,000, so to have one over 5000 was something I was looking forward to. The amount of light produced at this level blew me away.

Thanks. I made lots of photos, are you wanting more closeups of the lanyard? If so confirm and I’ll post some

:person_facepalming: Terrible tint shift.

Thanks for reading. A shaved dome would have really extended the range closer tot eh 903m mentioned. Still a great flashlight in my opinion as it puts out so much light. The Acebeam K65 would be an awesome one too I suspect.

I’m not an expert on Tints to be honest so not sure how to respond to the comment

Can you check to see if the bezel is glued. Remind of a slightly larger head mto7s with charging. If the price comes down about 30 dollars eventually I’ll get one.

Just tried and it seems not, however it requires lots of effort and decent gripping/rubber gloves to remove. I managed to turn a small amount with bare hands.

Great review. Can turbo be memorized?

Yes, please! :slight_smile:

That sounds good. Thanks for testing it.

Just tested, seems not

I wonder why they went with 4 parallel instead of 4s. With the haikelite version of this light 4s the voltage never drops enough so you get the full 5000 lumens until the batteries are depleted. Just seems odd they would choose a boost driver when they could have uses 2 or 4s
I guess with 4p there would be plenty of amps between the batteries for the boost driver for most of the discharge

A german friend measured his with ony 3200 Lumens
5500 manufactury spec is way too much from what it delivers

If I’m not mistaken hasn’t a good bit of imalent lights been a good bit underspec? Maybe a couple other people can test them. If they all test like that then we know

I dont have the equipment to measure lumens however with my ceiling bounce test it blew away other flashlights that I’ve tested before. The outdoor performance was amazing too, it’s significantly brighter than anything else I’ve tested. I cant be sure that it is above 5,000 but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was thereabouts. What batteries did your friend use?
