welcome back today we are looking at two lights from imalent the DM70 and also
the DM 35 the DM 70 uses cree xhp 70.2 LED 4500 lumens and the DM35 uses cree
xhp 35 high intensity LED with 2,000 lumens I would like to thank imalent for
sending me both these lights for review both of these lights are relatively
small they are both powered by a 21700 battery both still significantly smaller
than many of my single 18 650 lights such as acebeam L16 the BLFgt mini
and my convoy C8 plus talking about the battery because it is significant it is
a protected 21700 and it is also rechargeable via a USB a micro USB port
on the top which makes it tremendously long here is it compared to a
unprotected 18 650 and also a standard 21700 cell it is so long it does not fit
in any of my chargers you can still use a regular 21700 inside either of these
lights and power them to full power which i think is a great thing because
i've seen lights that you couldn't do that both of these LEDs are either 6 or
12 volt night cores one of the first companies I remember to do that they put
out the TM03 and it was a good light except that the battery was there was
something special about it you had to use their battery in order to get the
maximum power if you put some other 18 650 in their light you would not be able
to run the light properly the beam quality on both our lights is very good
the DM70 gives us a nice round hotspot very large bright spill and the DM 35 is
its throwerw counterpart it gives us a tighter spot with better throw other
features we got with these lights are a magnetic tail cap which is okay
it's not super strong it will hold itself up but it's a little bit sketchy
if you bumped it you'd knock it off but it does work we also got a green
backlight for the switch and an additional red light on the side emmalin
tis calling this a sleeping light which I thought they meant like you know like
a nightlight or something but it's not they mean like a light to help you sleep
because it's red I looked into that and there is some some evidence I found some
studies that say you know what that's a real thing in though in the study that I
found they were using something like 30 joules per square centimeter for that
which looks about like this
so I'm not really sure whether or not this tiny red light here would be enough
to do anything but you know whatever for me the only thing I would really use
that for is I might if I was like camping or something I might turn that
on so that I could easily find my flashlight in the dark that would be a
help to me the user interface is a click for on click for off from on if we press
and hold we can cycle our modes low through high from there from any
position you can double click for turbo from there you can double click again
for strobe if you want to turn the switch light on you can press and hold
and that'll come on that will remain on for up to three hours for the red light
if you triple click that gives you your sleep light the battery doesn't rattle
at all this little cover on the switch does make it's got a little bit of a
rattle noise buttons you know not too bad I tested both lights to see what the
output was the immolate claims 4500 lumens for the DM 70 and I got three
thousand two hundred and fifty nine at 30 seconds runtime for the DM 35 their
claim is 2000 lumens and I got 1822 at 30 seconds to run time I also went ahead
and checked the current drain from the battery end and with the DM 35 I'm
getting about eight amps at the battery and with the DM 7d just a little bit
more about nine amps from that one so on the DM 70 with that you know that jump
in size this is my Fw3a I get about twenty-seven twenty-eight
hundred lumens from this at the like the five-second mark at ten seconds FW3A
a is already its Peter and out it's too hot it's already kicking down this did
not kick down on me once during the beam shot Emily claims you get about three
minute bursts of turbo with this one we are
take a look at some beam shots now but I need to get you guys opinion about
something a few people mentioned when I was doing
the videos about you know all my home depot lights and the Bass Pro lights
which we're gonna go back to that I'm but that they had a hard time following
at the beam shots because there were so many different lights and somebody
mentioned you know why don't you put a picture of the you know the light that
you're doing down in corner something I'm just wondering does that does that
help you guys do you know we're gonna try it with these lights and you know
when I compare with some of the others because not everybody knows what those
other lights are I'd like to know if you guys think that helps or you know is it
distracting to you does it matter either way are you able to see what the light
looks like you know if you're watching on your phone things like that so let me
know down in the comments for our control light this evening I brought
convoy c8 Plus that is xpl high-intensity
now let's try our imalent DM 35 that is the 2000 lumen x HP 35 high-intensity
now we'll do imalent DM70 so our forty five hundred lumen light xHP 70
LED
do some other quick comparisons there's our convoy c8 a stinging nettle 16 m on
DM35 imalent and 70 lot of coverage there that is it's not only it's got range but
it's it's wide - let's check it one more time versus fw3a this little guy is
still a super powerhouse and we're getting the range out there we're
getting all the way back to the fence with this little dude I still really
love this light wow it's already it's already getting hot I had to scoop my
fingers back one more time I'll bump it up to the turbo and then we'll switch
