Imalent LD70 Flashlight Review!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2020
- Here is the all new, brand new Imalent LD70 flashlight kit. This features the OLED display of lumen output level and battery voltage. The magnetic charging cable is improved and more stationary on this LD70 from the previous LD10. The world famous Cree XHP70.2 LED for an incredible flood beam performance. This is a perfect size for EDC. the sheer wall of light this light provides is very impressive for its size. I agree with other people this should have a clip option for easier carry on ones body. This provides 900 lumens without step down which is still a lot of light. Imalent is always pushing the boundaries when it comes to features and lumens on their flashlights. See link below to where you can get this plus I am working on a discount code and will update it soon:

After a year of owning and using imalent ld70, for edc , this is by far the best light on market I’ve owned several types of flashlights , as a coach driver this one is near a masterpiece, it just fits in my pocket easily, imalent do a great job, have a good year
Happy New Year! Thanks for watching!
What about the battery?
Every time I watch your video, I never skip the AD because I know you did your job wholeheartedly, and I always watch 1 video repeatedly and accidentally don't skip the AD,thank you so much charles,Good job
Thanks for the support and watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec your welcome
Yep, I’ve ordered one of each. Can’t wait for them to arrive. Thanks for the quality videos. 👍
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec so I was almost attacked the other night by a homeless guy. I hit him with the strobe effect on this light, and he about fell over.
I love this little light!
I know this is an old video, but thanks for posting it. I was undecided on which to get until I saw this. Very helpful, thank you again.
YW! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video! I just got this flashlight a couple of days ago and it's amazing what they've done with the XHP 70.2 in a tiny package. Only wish the battery was removable and for a 500 lumen mode. 200 to 900 is too large a step
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec ALWAYS the best flashlight vids....PERIOD
Charles, in general how is Imalent quality? Any stories of them failing (often/easy)? Is it A/R glass? Real HA III or that painted on Chinesey coating that last 1 min ? FULLY regulated? In the military I have never met anyone that owns one.
Semper Fi
Gunny
@@CharlesBridgTec What powerbank Charles? Does not look like Ravpower or Anker
@@BOOSTEDLASER They are very nice quality. All company flashlights have issues for no one is perfect but others do lead the bar when it comes to quality like Nitecore, Fenix and Jetbeam to name my top three companies. Take care.
Thank you,
Just purchased one!
Thanks for watching!
Another excellent flashlight review -- thanks Charles! I'm a fan of Imalent's lights, but I"m going to wait for this this model to evolve a bit more before I buy. Reasons: The absence of a clip -- non-removable battery -- funky proprietary charging port/cable -- lack of knurling
Thanks for watching!
Wow, amazing little product.
Thanks for watching!
Just got one! This little light is great, tiny and crazy bright! I love the display for the battery power and output. I'm not crazy about the one button hold down UI (nitecore is best with the 2 button setup) but that's being nitpicky for such a small light that does so much. Great review!
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
Great Review!! thank you!
Thanks for watching!
900 Lumens seems to be the sweet spot. It's very bright and it won't get hot.
Very nice 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
I really like the touch sensitive buttonless design!
Thanks for watching!
WOW.... Charles thats a light,I'm gonna be purchasing one before I leave for Kentucky. Sweet I believe that is the perfect light
Thanks for watching!
Is get it if it had a clip!
Kentucky is awesome. *waves*
Your video is the best show how to use the flashlight! I just order this flashlight on Amazon Cyber Day!
TY! Thanks for watching!
Nice review, I am happy with my ld10 but like the new switch setup.
Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I briefly had the LD10 and it still has better throw, smaller size, and overall better run times. It felt a little unfinished and the LD70 seems to have added things I wanted to see! Both are great as keychain lights
I'm fans and your subscriber “uncle”
Nice to see your review again
I'm from Indonesian 🙏
eh..ada orang indo..ckck
Thanks for watching!
I love this review I actually brought this. Great powerful little light. Still love the ms 18 that was worth the $$
TY! Thanks for watching!
Nice video, thank you!
YW! Thanks for watching!
I just bought one, I hope I don't regret it.
Me neither. Thanks for watching!
Just return it if you do...
@@JP-pl9mv Returning from Brazil is not worth it, freight is more expensive than the flashlight
Very nice it is worth it
Thanks for watching!
Excelent review. The most important requirement for me today is how many lumens the flashlight offers after the step down and for how long. 900 lumens is excellent for this size and edc. I bought a MK34 manker for fishing, it offers 2000 lumens after the step down for two hours (linear), for a 10cm flashlight that can be used with one hand is excellent.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, 2000 lm stay for 2 hours? Impressive.
I need one for sure. Oh just googled it, I thought it's a small light...LOL Just saw the price too.
How long it stays at turbo?
@@khoiquach so it was a pretty big light?
I was interested also until you said that. I like the small ones that are super powerful.
So I've had my new light a couple of weeks now and I like the flood of light and it's lumen increments. What I don't like is the magnetic recharge cable. The magnet strength is much too weak and falls off much to easily. It's not as comfortable to hold as other brands.
Thanks for watching!
Can you do more weapon lights (rifle) lights. Thanks for the great videos
Yes I have many times. Thanks for watching!
I only buy flashlights if you have reviewed it.... this for the hard work sir.
Thanks for the support & watching!
Hey can you recommend a great charging bank for a 21700 battery? Maybe a solar compact bank,reasonably priced so not to break the bank? Thanks great vid
Check out the one from XTAR 21700 pwer bank. USB C 18650 Battery Charger ALLMAYBE XTAR PB2S Type C Dual-Role 18650 18700 20700 21700 Portable Charger with USB Output Function（Not Included Battery www.amazon.com/dp/B07WMQCWBF/ref=cm_sw_r_sm_apa_i_ekSHFbPS2SXJ4 Works grrat got mr
The wilderness is getting dangerous lol. A small tactical ring/clip would be cool on this one. I agree technology only gets better. Only 2-3 years ago there wasnt so many great flashlights i believe.
Thanks for watching!
I agreed this light is so awesome but we need the usb-c charging. I dropped it and it stop working for a few weeks, I almost threw it away but then I dropped it again and voila it's come back to life...LOL
4000 lumens in a tiny light...even at 900 lumens this one is so damn bright. Great job Imalent!
Thanks for watching!
I've placed on order for the new Olight S1R-3 12 days ago and it still hasn't been dispatched, if it isn't out by the end of today I will be cancelling my order and getting me one of these beasts in green.
Well good luck either way but if it does happen you can use my link and discount code to save $$ in the discription area below video. Thanks for watching!
Great review! Can you do a compare with Nitecore T4K?
No time. Too many new lights to review. You can really compare them anyways because one is flood and other is combination beam type. Thanks for watching!
I've a question for you. I bought this LD70 which arrived today and following its charging information, what seems to be happening is its Oled *goes out* during charging. Is this normal? My charger is from a plug outlet for its USB connector and has charged all my other devices, but presently my LD70 flashlight's charging display is dark. Is it faulty?
Today being Saturday, I can't phone Heinnie's where I bought it from yesterday because their office is closed over the weekend. I'm just feeling anxious there's a fault in my flashlight's charger. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for such a well presented video.
If the display shuts off during charging means its finished. What voltage is the light say when its on? Thanks for watching!
I reckon LD stands for "Little Devil" or something lol. Crazy little torch.
Thanks for watching!
Great video with real world examples. I know this video is three years but I’m going to get one. Any changes with the light since then?
Yes the tail switch is different but better. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks!
@@actor4nyc YW!
Omg here we go
Thanks for watching!
It is so cute❤!!!
Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec I’m looking to get a compact flashlight that’s packed with power. Would you say that the Imalent LD70 is the brightest flashlight for its size?
Yes indeed it is. Thanks for watching!
I just picked this model up today. I was curious, mine came with a small sliver circle. To Me, it looks like a battery, but there are no markings. I also can't find any info in the instructions about it. Also, I know it's a rechargeable battery (big feature I wanted), which can't be removed. Any guesses as to what it is? Also excellent video, very straightforward.
The design was updated from my version. That is the power switch. Thanks for watching!
the review is very good. Is it possible to replace the backup battery or battery?
No. Thanks for watching!
Charles, I really like your videos. Thank you I have a question which floody flashlight compares or us better then the imalent ld70. I like it but would love more run time thank you God bless you
Same form factor? Thanks for watching!
Yes! More powerful and better run run would be great
@@franklopez2744 That's gonna be hard in this form factor but maybe the Nitecore E4K might be a contender. Good luck.
Is the ld70 worth the money
@@franklopez2744 It's nice if you use my link and discount code.
Live you vids
Thanks for watching!
So how many charge cycles will this battery take? I typically do not like sealed flashlights, but this one looks incredible. How long will that battery last?
3 to 5 years of normal cycle life. Thanks for watching!
whoa! it has a strobe mode! that could make up for the funky charging cable.
Thanks for watching!
Can you recommend best mini rechargeable flashlight which has high lumens? More than 3000lm
Not 3000 lumens. Thanks for watching!
I had the nitecore TUP before this and i thought that this flashlight would be better, but it's so much more floody that it's most the times is unusable on 200lumen and 900lumen drains the battery so much... But the nitecore TUP i didn't charge in over a week, while i need to charge the LD70 everyday... definitely gonna return it or sell it.
Thanks for watching!
Hi! just checking if the power button on this LD70 is loose and makes noise by design? Because mine's power button wiggles a lot and makes noise, I just got it for a week, it still works but kind of feels annoying.
Should be fine. Thanks for watching!
Would you still recommend this today? Want something small and powerful, can't decide between the Nitecore TIP SE or the LD70. Know the TIP is smaller, but less bright. Wondering if Imalent may be releasing a new model soon?
Yes but not if you're wanting 4k lumens all the time but 1k lumens would do fine with this light safely. Thanks for watching!
great video. i think the lumen output on imalent flashlights is incredible. but i will never purchase another imalent after the terrible experince i had withe my 13000 lumens imalent light. it does odd things, like lock me out of all settings but low. i have a tm9k tac, and it never locks out like that. i wonder if my imalent has faulty electronics.
Thanks for watching!
Hi!
How change battery 🔋 and wot size battery?
Thank you for video.
You can't change the battery as shown in the video. Thanks for watching?
@@CharlesBridgTec
Thank you Charles 😊
God bless you bro
Thank you. Thanks for watching!
Hi sir is the discount code still available on their web?because i clicked on the link it still says $50.95 and I can’t find any place in the cart to put the code😅
Once you add it to your cart and then check out the option to add discount code will be there. Thanks for watching!
Great flashlight and review. They should have turned the OLED 180 degrees. Would be more logical when operating.
Thanks for watching!
Does it have a replacement battery so you could have one charged and one in the battery holder?
I show this in video. Thanks.
Is this waterproof? Obviously not a diving light but can it handle rain splash? Im concerned the magnetic charging port would accumulate rust in the long run.
Yes it will easily handle ran or a drop in water as well. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks, you are the best!
I have one it gets hot in like 15 seconds it lights up my living room untill my halfway its a good light i just wish turbo lasts longer also when i charge it and its full it doesn't actually say 4.20V mine says 4.19V and when i turn it on the first 0.14V drains in like 5 seconds then from 4.05V to 3.10 it takes a few mins no matter the output the first few volts is gone in 3-5 seconds
Thanks for watching!
my LD70 lights even when its switched off, its not much about ~0.5 lumens but the led never is completly dark, is that normal?
Not normal. Thanks for watching!
Any recommendation for a flashlight 3/4th to 1/2 the size of this one?
There area a lot of them from Nitecore and Fenix to name two. Thanks for watching!
would this be brighter then a Fenix PD36R?
Yes brighter but throw farther... No. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks man
Hold on a minute. I do not understand what is going on here. This small flashlight packs 4000 lumens??? Isn't a 4000 lumen flashlight supposed to have atleast 4 or 5 LED diodes in it? I need info before I proceed with purchase
The XHP70.2 LED is a multi-LED on one platform. Thank for watching!
Buongiorno,mi serve una buona minitorcia per lavoro, cosa mi consigli imalent LD 70 oppure una nitecore mh12 V2.grazie
Nitecore MH12 v2. Thanks for watching!
Waiting for your discount code to order one.
Hoping to get it tonight will update. Thanks for watching!
Ordered thanks.
What’s the discount code?? I’d love to have one myself!! How much of a discount is it??
Can it take a 3500 Sanyo battery and thus work longer?
No. It runs on a 18350 cell and cannot be removed. Thanks for watching!
Do you throw it away once battery is finished?
Average battery life is 3 to 5 years. Thanks for watching?
PLEASE GET YOUR HANDS ON THE ACEBEAM L18. I'd love to hear your opinion
Ok tell them to send it to me. Thanks for watching!
Do you have it in your store? I dont see it. Any coupon to get one? Thanks
I don't have it in my store due to conflict of interests until the light is a little bit older. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks. I may be interested in the Astrolux S41S Colored for the wife. What Leds models you have? With the 18650 body extension. Thanks
You were using 4000lm continuously for almost 2 minutes. is it overheating ?
No but it was getting toasty before it cycled down. Thanks for watching!
Is it brighter than Nitecore T4K ?
They have different beam types to compare. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec I know, TK4 is more like flood but what seems brighter after using them?
Is this a better buy than the NItecore T4K?
Not really better but just as nice. Thanks for watching!
How long does it last on full charge and full 4000
It will cycle down due to heat. Light levels are a few hours in medium and much longer on low. Thanks for watching!
so when they say High : 2000 Lumens (Gradual step down to 900 Lumens) / 1.5 Minutes + 39 Minutes
and Mid I: 900 Lumens / 45 Minutes is that 2000 lumens for 1min 30 then for 39 minutes its 900 lumens? and is it 900 lumens for the entire 45minutes?
Runtimes also maybe affected by weather conditions as well. This light does better in cooler weather. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec .......close, but it is much lower if you check the runtime graphs on this light. So, best to make that a point in the video. Like this is a 500 lumen light and has burst 4K lumen for a couple seconds
A clip would be nice and a pouch that can be worn on your belt!!!
Thanks for watching!
How do these compare with todays tech? Any suggestions?
They are fine. Thanks for watching!
It can be use while charging?
No. Thanks for watching!
in other words this 4000 lumens beast is only a beast for 1 minute per charge? i love my olights but i'm willing to expand my brand choice, but i have been reading reviews and comments. the negatives seem to out weight the positives . the clip isn't a huge deal. many people claiming the output on turbo is closer to 3400-3600 lumen. the fact that whatever the turbo is only lasts according to specs for 1min. real world test if these people are telling the truth are only seeing 23-45sec on turbo b4 stepping down. untill you recharge it you wont get turbo anymore. last the power duration. i havent seen anyone that got more than 25-30min. im not a brand snob. i have wowtac, thrunite, klarus and olight. i like the look of the LD70 but if those comments are somewhat accurate then this ones a pass.
I am able to use turbo way more than once on a single charge. I do not have to recharge it after using turbo for 1 minute. Turbo is not meat to run continuously on any high power flashlight. Thanks for watching!
Is there any small edc better than this one, in year 2023? Anyone know?
Nitecore has a couple. Thanks for watching!
Its quickly hot on 4000lm?
A couple of minutes it will step down though for safety. Thanks for watching!
How about the heating
Yes the heating indeed. Thanks for watching!
This light would've been perfect but it's lacking usb c charging and a removable battery
Thanks for watching!
And beam tint...
Giant led in tiny host why they didn’t they go that all long. Seems to be a 2020 thing hmm
Thanks for watching!
Runtime in 4000lm?
About 10 seconds. Thanks for watching!
this small light is killing. but it gets heat when get longer using.. it shoud put rubber to protect heat
Thanks for watching!
Where to get it?
Link is in the description area of the video. Thanks for watching!
So I bought this and it gets very hot, hot to the point where the light will burn things and if I hold it normally without the light on my skin, the metal will burn my skin
Stop running it on turbo continuously. Use it on the lower light outputs. Thanks for watching!
If it had a usb-c charger I would buy one.
Thanks for watching!
I don't know why they make batterys sealed in it makes the light disposable which I don't like
Thanks for watching!
The only thing I hate about the magnetic charging is if you use this flashlight or any flashlight that has magnetic charging is that dirt or metal flakes will build up around the charging and can cause connection issues.
Thanks for watching!
What can you do to prevent that
@stargaming601 woth something like this. Not much you can do unless you find someone or a company that makes a sleeve that goes over the end to cover it up
loss or breakage of the cable turns this flashlight into a souvenir ... small built-in battery for this size , and so a good flashlight ...
Thanks for watching!
I also heard the cable is filmsy and have to be extra careful, if you put it on upside down, battery is done and light is dead. I have the similar LD10 and will get this one.
Why no strobe outside? It has a strobe, you showed every other mode, I'm buying it for the strobe, this is the fourth video I've watched trying to see the strobe at night outside. Why no strobe outside??? It's crazy.😢
Strobe outside? Nope I do not show strobe for it's very difficult to capture it correctly on camera in the dark. I show it in my UI run thru. Thanks for watching!
O.M.G.I.L.O.V.E.I.T
Thanks for watching!
I want buy
Good. Thanks for watching!
needs a clip replaceable battery and firefly mode
Thanks for watching!
Mine gets real hot at 900 on after a minute and last only 20 minutes
How does it do on medium? Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec 900 lumens and hot, this light will continue to step down to cool down. check the runtime graphs.
@@bigchelis This was not why I was asking for this person never replied as cooler weather this light will act differently. So your statement is that you somehow know this? My testing results were different under different conditions such as fan cooled or not.
👍
👍
My imalent LD70 quit on me after 1 month, the press button doesn't work and the display won't come on when charging or to check battery life & lock the light. I will send it back to get a refund or a new one.
Yes warranty will replace it. Thanks for watching!
This one I am buying no doubt.. Key chain worthy and throws 4000 LU of fire... Perfect... LoL Now thats a parlor trick for your friends around the camp fire 😂.. Casually unleashing 4000 LU from your car keys for the “hard to impress with a flashlight” crowd.... hahaha Anyone can dig out their big iole light baazooka but, when you fire that lil bad boy up from your keys? Oh that might get their attention.. LoL.. Not to mention its perfect for that unexpected situation. Things like when your buddy drinks to many margaritas and wonders off into the Jamaican jungle.. LMAO.. oh its funny now! 😂😂😂 Oh it can happen.. trust me on this LoL
Thanks for watching!
This light is super neat but does no one think it’s kind of a bummer that the battery cannot be replaced? That means there’s an end of life to this light.
Average 3 to 5 years. That's a long time. Thanks for watching!
Fair, its just a sticking point for me
@@mysterc2862 No problem, you are not alone.
