IMALENTLD70 Pocket EDC Flashlight, 4000 Lumens Compact Bright Powerful Flashlights with CREE XHP70.2 LED, Rechargeable Handheld Torch for Camping and Hiking (Gold)

This little flash light is utterly fantastic. We are in the golden age of flashlight power!!! I have a very large flashlight collection from the world’s most powerful consumer flashlights to the most powerful in their class.Many super lame people have written poor reviews about this flashlight BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO OPERATE IT. That’s unfortunate because it’s not the product’s fault or manufacturer’s fault.I will address some of the untrue comments I have seen.1. “This isn’t 4000 Lumens!”:Actually, it is. I have a very expensive flashlight collection and have compared this light’s max brightness @4000 lumens to my Imalent DX80 at the same brightness. I’m happy to report that yes, it’s 4000 lumens alright. You have to understand that due to the size of the flashlight, it’s impossible to have the same throw distance as a larger flashlight, it’s just physics due to the diameter of the light reflector and number of LEDs. A larger diameter light reflector is going to increase the throw distance at the same brightness level over a smaller light reflector with less LEDs. So it’s true 4000 lumens on one flashlight isn’t the same as 4000 lumens on another with regard to throw distance (the units of measure are often different as well) and light reflection (design has a lot to do with this). With that said, this little flashlight puts out an intense 4000 lumen beam that is small but every bit as advertised. It’s truly incredible.2. “The silver switch is hit and miss!”: Ummm no. It works every time if you know how to operate it. I turned it off and on for 15 minutes testing this and it worked every time. If you press and hold the silver button, IT WILL NOT turn the light on. This is because it’s not designed to be turned on this way. If you gently press and release the silver button, the light will power on. If you gently touch and release the button again, the light will extinguish. I have no doubt the people claiming this aren’t operating the light correctly and/or they may have gotten a bad unit.Once you press and release the silver button to turn the light on, press the silver button again and HOLD IT to cycle through different brightness settings as denoted in lumens (20->200>900>2000). Double clicking the silver button and releasing in any brightness mode will put the light into TURBO MODE @4000 lumens.Again people, it’s all physics. The body of the flashlight is small and metal and heat has nowhere to go so the body of the flashlight acts as a heatsink and dissipates the heat. With the insane 4000 lumens setting in this flashlight, it’s more like a TESLA MODEL S/X WITH INSANITY MODE, IT’S A PARTY TRICK!!! The light isn’t designed to be operated at long periods of time at this brightness as it would burn your hands. The battery is quite large for the size of the flashlight (it’s nearly all battery actually) and the amount of power draw from a battery this small to generate 4000 lumens is immense. So it’s all physics people, NOT POOR DESIGN. The 4000 lumens setting is meant to illuminate something quickly giving you enough time to see the subject but not study it. Now, could you make it better? Yes, but there are concessions to size and weight and then people would complain about that too.3. “It’s cheaply made”: No, no it’s not actually. It has a solid construction with a nice weight to it, not too heavy and not too light. The LED in the light might actually out live you. The light is small and easy to drop if you have large hands like me. I use the wrist strap and it works perfect. If you have a carabiner on your keychain, just attach the wrist strap to the light and then attach the wrist strap to the carabiner.4. “It’s too much, it’s just a 200 lumen light!”: If you want any kind of real battery life, this is a true statement. However, the upper level brightness settings are more for quick and dirty situations where you need more light for short durations. Think about what you’re asking this light to do and you’ll realize that even 200 lumens is more than some of the best flashlights of the ‘80s and ‘90s in a 3” package. People are spoiled and don’t realize how bright even 200 lumens really is when it’s truly dark. I have seen bozos with their flashlights and tons of ambient light complaining they need more light, ridiculous.I recommend using the light at 20 - 200 lumens for most tasks and bumping or bursting to 900 lumens for when you need it. You really shouldn’t have to move to 2000 - 4000 lumens for most use cases (unless you just want to show off as in launching in a Tesla). If you do burst to 2000 lumens, just don’t spend more than 30 seconds to 1 minute there. Trust me, if it’s dark enough, even 200 lumens goes a long way.I make my living as an engineer and highly recommend this light and approve this message ;).

The media could not be loaded. This is one tiny little power house!! I admit I have a bit of an obsession with gadgets, especially ones that have practical use and flashlights are no exception.This is a super light, but quality made flashlight perfect for your pocket. Every light that I have that's truly pocket small, is weak. This thing is absolutely incredible.The button on the tailcap is easily accessible and easily clicks with good feedback. The mode selection is easy and not overly cumbersome as some lights are . You have everything you'd need, Turbo, normal and strobe.When I first turned it on I got what I expected. I was on "normal". This is about what you get from most lights at this price point. Then I hit turbo and got light output that matches my 100+ dollar flashlights!! I have a few that truly only last a few seconds in high mode so I left turbo on and walked the yard. The body is metal so it does get warm but this actually doubles in the winter as a handwarmer as I've seen from a popular survivalist youtube channel.There is a super nice LED display for battery life that frankly put isn't on ANY of my high end lights. It also lit up warning me when the light was overheating when I was just testing the turbo mode walkin around. I turned it off when I noticed the indicator. It felt "warm plate" hot but every nice light I have has "HOT" warnings on the light because this kind of output just makes heat... That's science folks.The charger is magnetic, very nice touch!! Some lights use slides w/ orings, some keep the battery internal and require you to open the flashlight to charge the battery, MOST just use a rubber USB port cover.. This magnetic design is superior and reminds me of the weapon light charger for my Olight Odin which was far more expensive.Buy this now if you need a pocket light that will light up a football field! I am not one that is going to scientifically measure to see if I'm getting every single lumen but I can tell you from visual experience, this light is freaking BRIGHT! For its size I expected it to stay bright for 20 seconds. It blew my expectations out of the water.This will get plenty of use as my other everyday carry flashlight is substantially larger and has similar output.

I love IMALENT flashlights because they are well built and have great control of light output. I've got MS12 Mini (65K lumen), MSO3W and MSO3 (both 13K lumen, I think they are the most versatile), and this one, LD70. LD70 has 5 light intensity modes, from 20 to 4K lumen (the widest range of all). I love the low 20 lumen mode because most of the time you need this one when getting up at night as it won't blind you. The lowest MSO3 mode is 150 lumen which sometimes is too much. This was the main reason I bought LD70. It is small and works great, and when needed, 2K lumen (the highest standard mode) is plenty of light. Some people downgraded review if IMALTNT flashlights because they get hot when used at max output, but IMHO this is nonsense as they don't understand the physics. LEDs are very economical lights, but if lots of light is produced they must put out lots of heat too. My reason of downgrading from 5 stars is that the battery is not replaceable and that they supply a specialized charging wire instead of a standard, cheaply replaceable USB C cable. So, if you loose the original cable you are better off buying a new flashlight (comparable price). Also be careful not to completely drain the battery as it significantly shortens life of the whole flashlight in this case. Fortunately, there is a display showing the voltage and light intensity, a very handy and unique feature.
