1. Lumen Output and LEDs
The Imalent LD70 features a single CREE XHP70.2 LED, which generates a flood beam of up to 4,000 lumens. The button size flashlight features 2 OSRAM P8 LEDs, generating a flood beam of up to 500 lumens. OSRAM LEDs are generally considered inferior to CREE LEDs.
2. Size & Battery Life
The button size flashlight gained its name for being super small and bright, the length is 46.6 mm and the head size is 12.5 mm, and let’s be fair, you can’t expect a tiny flashlight like this to have a large room for batteries. It lasts for 45 minutes on 200 lumens, which is qualified as a backup light if you don’t travel a long way.
The Imalent LD70 has 4,000 lumens and is slightly heavier than the button size flashlight, the length is 81, and the head size is 25mm. The LD70’s size is almost twice larger as the button size flashlight, but it’s eight times brighter and lasts for 3 hours and 50 minutes at 200 lumens. Not only does it work as a perfect backup light for outdoor activities, it’s also a brilliant EDC light for urban activities.
3. Styling
The button size flashlight looks small and comes in black, while the Imalent LD70 has four color options, including military green, blue, gold, and black, for your preference.
