4500 Lumen Imalent DM70

[@silversurfer8818]

Could you try split screen also, so that we can see the various lights at the same time?

[@DocOnHoliday86]

Having a picture of the flashlight with it's corresponding beamshot is a great idea. It helped a lot with my understanding of the product. Having the light's name would also be a plus.

[@TexasAce]

Yes, pictures would help a lot. Even knowing flashlights fairly well, I don't even try to remember the model numbers for most lights.

[@dubv6902]

Yes, a picture/name of light being used is very helpful

[@LRJ88]

It helps a fair bit being able to see the light on-screen when you do the beam shots, it helps you focus on the vid as well instead of trying to remember which light was what model number.

[@Vekselbass]

Picture in the corner is a super idea! Thank you for your videos, i always watch them with great pleasure.

[@JesusIsAboveAllOtherNames]

I really like how you put a picture of each light at the bottom of the screen while shining that particular light. That's honestly the only way I can get which one you're shining.

As I'm not a real flashaholic I only know a few by name so the small picture in the corner really helps. And I never watch things like this(stuff I buy where visuals are the most important) on a small screen so you could even make it smaller.

Good review. Thx for taking time to do this. Your review is just fine. I respect that you took the time to do. My EDC is a Nitecore MH 20. 1000 lumens. Wow thats alot of light for that size.

[@annikagoodwin4486]

Great video, Matt. I am consistently impressed by the amount of work your videos represent and their professional quality!

[@NewZonaRides]

What I do is just put text on the screen when I am comparing different lights. After that it is simple to just copy paste the text over and over for me. That would work for pictures too but it would be more trouble I think.

[@davidlabedz2046]

The DM 70 does better than the FW3A. I could see the FW3A step down quickly. The DM70 stayed in turbo and appeared to have greater throw and more spill. Nice lights! The insert pic of the light being used is a great idea.!!!!

[@deevsv6774]

Hi Matt! I like the idea of adding a picture of the light, as well as adding the name written beside the picture. One of the things that I am looking for in flashlight reviews that I usually don't find easily available is the brightest sustained mode (that doesn't thermal throttle). I don't really care how many lumens a light puts out if that number is going to decrease within the first few minutes of use. I would really appreciate it if that were a metric added to your already fantastic reviews! Thanks!

[@k1ngh00p]

Or even one for pricier throwers would be nice. I current have a $150 Olight Seeker 2 pro, and a Convoy M3 $38, and actually like my convoy a lot more!

[@flyonbyya]

I’m a big fan of the brightest, shortest and thinnest possible 18650 light. Throw isn’t a particular requirement. So far...the best I’ve bought to date that meet that general requirement is the D4 and SC64. If I can’t carry a light without knowing g it’s in my pocket...it’s not ideal for edc.

[@johnfunk8200]

flyonbyya Emisar D4 is what you are looking for. It’s incredible at such a small size. They make a D4S also which is twice as powerful but larger in size. Alternatively there is the Olight SR1 or the SR2 both quite small but powerful.

[@patrickcallahan1585]

I also like the small picture with the beam test

YES the photos help, but you need to keep the name caption up there too. What to do in 2 simple steps... 1. Show a full screen shot of the flashlight for a few seconds, right as you say the name while you're introducing the model in the narration. 2. Show the model name caption at the bottom of the screen and keep it there the whole time that model is being demonstrated. This is a concise and easy way to make it clear which flashlight is which in terms of performance. Thanks for the reviews, and... Good lux!

[@sreekumarUSA]

Thanks, Matt.

[@brianparshall8231]

I want one so powerful that it can start a 🔥 Fire! Have you seen those lasers?? I believe the brightest one I have is 2000 lumens. How about you? How obsessed are you? Do we need to start a AA group? No! It would not be limited to only flashlights that take double AA batteries.

[@Nickerian91]

Have had tons of imalent lights and all of them are amazing except the water resistance is bs.. They leak in the glass and buttons. They do survive of its sweetwater but any salt water is going to ruin them. Got 9x hr70 (3 broken by salt water not submerged) 4x dt70 (1 broke by salt water, charging port broken on 1) 1x dt35 (broke water) 2x rt 70 (both broke rusted under the button by having salt water on ur fingers) None submerged just have people living by the ocean and having wet hands/in boats. Reason i have so many is since we have people guarding at night

[@NewZonaRides]

Isn't so many broken lights a testament to how crappy they are? After maybe 3 why not search for a more durable light for the application? Just curious. I have never seen someone say how great a light is by listing a metric crap ton of broken examples.

[@Nickerian91]

@@NewZonaRides the lights are great aslong as u dont use them around salt water which they should withstand with ip65. While i dont live in the province we use them daily at work without any issues. Hr 70 is my daily drive and i havent found any other light to compete with it (as a headlamp)

I'd just get a few Acebeams for what you're spending on those Imalents.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Hey Matt, could you please review the Acebeam W30, and also what are your opinions about the up-and-coming LEP (Laser excitation phosphor) technology for use in future flashlights? Love your channel, by the way.

[@mannixjohnson597]

*If you like the W30, you might at least consider the possibility that before too long, it would seem rather likely that someone will point one at a plane or something as serious -- and the result could be -- one day -- some sort of restrictions or regulations on them. About 2 years is my estimate until we hear some sort of disturbing media report about the misuse of an LEP light. Maybe less than 2 years. No decent flashlight enthusiast would do such a thing, but someone of another ilk certainly will. When it does happen, the media will probably NOT name the Acebeam in their report, I would hope. But they'll call the technology "an imminent danger to the public." I can hear it now...*

[@Manic97LP]

Mannix Johnson I recommend the Acebeam W10 anyways. The W30 has a too much „laser-like“ beam. On distances under 500 meters, it is so bright that you even can’t see at what you are shining with your flashlight. The W10 has a beam with a higher diameter and is much more useful. And also not a danger for airplanes due to its beam distance of only 1000 meters.
