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.
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.
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.
The picture in the corner is a good idea but your videos are great and I have never had not one complaint,I swear bud you are the best at what your doing,nobody tops you
If you're video editing software has the option, white text with a black outline so it can be read regardless of the background video brightness or color.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV What?? You're gay? I mean it's cool if you are but I always thought that was your girl when you enter the " dangerous place" in your vids😅
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.
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.!!!!
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!
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.
Good job with the flashlight comparison, itll be even better if you can take a picture or screenshot all of the lights at the same place to show the wide beam and its focus and put it side by side

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!
Yes a picture and price in the corner with specs would be a great help! I have recently become a flashlight enthusiast, and would like to see a video of the best budget throwers with high candela! 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! The olight is a more precision build, and love the strobe feature as well as easy magnetic charging, but the light output of the M3 seems better! Love the vids man, keep them coming!
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.
ive always wanted a convoy c8 but i cant afford it i know its cheap but i always have something else i have to spend my money on like cat food and stuff to servive witch sucks because i really want a convoy flashlight well i hope you have a wonderful day sir god bless you and keep up the great videos
@@NewZonaRides David Sunshine, reliable Convoy reviewer, took measurements when I asked. Still, do it if you wish, another Convoy in your collection is never a bad thing :^3
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.
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.
Yes I think it would help a great deal a lot of the time I hear you say the name of a flashlight but not the manufacturer some times its hard to rundown a light you want to buy so I think it would help
Hey Matt! Your videos are funny and specific at the same time! Yes, it would nice to edit some pictures and split screens but no if you 're gonna lose your flow! The lights behind you make you more pro but not too much! Don 't listen to anyone and keep going! I bought acebeam l17 and I want also a strong flooder without hot spot. Your suggestion?
I knew 4500 lumen was not going to be real. No boosted xhp70.2 light has really gotten over about 3600 lumen. Thanks for the confirmation.The user interface seems really good and the size is way smaller than I thought.
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
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.
@@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)
@@DinnerForkTongue havent checked all of them but the once i checked before i went with imalent didnt have any inbuild charger and didnt come with batteries (main reason i started with imalent) All new models of imalent have magnetic charger (had issue with 1of the one with micro usb dt35 before it compleatly broke)
@@Nickerian91 Ah, I think I get it. Althrough personally, if convenient rechargeability is a factor I'd go for micro USB rechargeable cells themselves. That way none of the integrity of the light's host (drop resistance, waterproofing, etc.) is compromised.
The FW3A will always have a place in my flashlight arsenal but, wow.. That DM70 and 35 are insane. Imalent’s are the cadillac but, Im big of the Wowtac A4 V2 and Coast XP11R fan.. Coast put out some high quality gear. My head lamp pushes like 2000 lumens!
love your work matt, the maglite upgrade is awesome i got from you ! Glad to see you reviewed the big LED LENSER MT18 ....... hope you liked it Great vid on the DM70 Keep up the good work.
YES please, any information about whichever light is currently in the shot is very helpful. A thumbnail, a word label (Caption) on the screen anything is helpful. Thanks
@Charles Black; Why is it important to you if he keeps the videos clean or not? Are you a Jesus freak or something? If he wants to drop an F-Bomb because of some lying China crap I wanna know.
@@metaljew4456 Being a Christian is part of it but since I enjoy these reviews and flashlights in general, I would like to share these videos with family, friends and my kids and not worry about having to filter bad language. I agree about hating on the cheap junk that's out there but I like knowing "why" they're garbage. I don't think we need certain language to express our hatred for exaggerated outputs and "dollar store" quality flashlights.
@Charles Black; Sorry for the harsh reply by me. You could have blasted me and I would have deserved it. I definitely dig this guys channel and I am new to it. I am obsessed with LED ANYTHING and especially 🔦 flashlights. I have about 50 in the collection at the moment but as we all know that # will increase. 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.

I have 4 of them and imo there very reputable and top shelf flashlights, but would love your opinion.
Nice review Matt. I'm not a fan of that long battery or spinning rattling switch. 21700s are long enough as it is, not fitting most good chargers is not good. I would only use USB charging in a pinch. My Acebeam T27 has USB-C charging built into the flashlight and a normal sized 21700. I think that's a better smarter use of that large battery cell. Also My friend has a couple of Imalent, the DN35 and RT35 and they both under-perform. Similar to the lumen measurement you got always a couple hundred less lumens than claimed. I also dont like the strobe is so deep into the groups, imagine trying to tell the animal or criminal to wait a second while you double tap to turbo and double tap again to strobe, lots to go wrong fumbling around in a pressure situation. No moonlight mode sucks which the DN series lacks also. For the price I'm staying away, I'm sticking with Acebeam as it outperforms rather than underperforms.
No press and hold to turn on at low? :-/ Otherwise the DM70 looked interesting. A small inset picture of the flashlight isn't a bad idea but it might be good to add some sort of commonly available object to the photo for scale.
My friend got the DN35 and I was shocked that it also did not have a hold for ultra low mode. the DN versions also have a really bad button design that makes it near impossible to feel and press in the dark.
I think just having the name of the flashlight in bigger letters / numbers would be better then a pic of the flashlight, I was watching this video while walking my dog and I couldn't make out the pic anyway, but the name of the flashlight I would have been able to.... that's just my opinion.
I like the picture, but I'd prefer make and model in a simple typeface. As for the 2 flashlights under review, I like both of them from what I can see. I would prefer a tighter beam on the DM70 though.
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.
*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...*
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.
Here is my problem with lights and a question or two for you. All these lights and there are a ton of them on the market. Most are way out of budget for me and, most likely for a lot of other viewers looking for good light source. Can you cut through all the bull and tell us what is the best LED lights from head lights to hand held lights that are cheap and long lasting? Also, you really don't get into how long the batteries really last under full load. Can you also tell us who makes the best batteries at the cheapest price and where to buy? Could you say if it would be better to make your own light source? If so, where would you buy all the parts needed for the build including plastic or glass lenses or light amplifiers? I would like for you to do a show over UVC, UV and INFERRED lighting. Is this possible for you too do? Thank you mate. 'I do enjoy your video's.
A rock solid low cost good quality all around light in my opinion is Convoy S2+ . On full power you will get a little over an hour run time if you use 3500ma cell. Shop at lillumn.com or mtnelectronics.com for batteries. 100% of the batteries they sell are genuine. If you go with the S2+ because the current load is only 3000ma basically good quality 18650 is fine to use in that light. The S2+ also has low voltage protection so you could use an unprotected cell if you want. It will fit most protected cells if you dont want.
@@Lumencraft- Do you have another place to shop than lillumn.com? This site does not exist anymore. Could not get it to come up from google. Thank you for your time mate.
It's illumn.comThere is not really any "best" light. There are many lights for many needs. It might be best to go to a forum like BLF.com and look around.
The DM70 uses a very big led. This is why it's so bright, but a big led is hard to focus into a narrow beam. That is why it does not travel as far a distance. Everything has tradeoffs.
It should be obvious. I'm asking the guy who posted a nonsensical answer. Did you see his link? It has nothing to do with your question. It helps no one. Plus, why would I ask if a question helps? I'm sorry. I thought everything was clear.
love your videos bro i love LEDs and i love flashloights like very very much i even build my own LED grow lights for very cheep lol i used trailer siding and 3 watt china shit LEDs but they work lol anyways i would use better LEDs but im poor and live with my mom and im 32 lol such is life anyways i just last my grandma this year in march so i feel for your loss hope you have a great day and keep making awsome videos
RE: YOUR 21700 BATTERY TOO LARGE FOR YOUR CHARGER To hold and charge 21700 batteries using regular 18650 sized charger, I'm thinking an 18650 sized piece of wood would be inserted into charge slot with bent metal strips extending from the positive and negative end which would hold and charge the 21700. Reckon that'd work?
I have a question. How can this light not give out more than a 5 hour 50 minute runtime at 300 lumens with a 5,000 mAh battery? I ask this because the new Olight Seeker 2 does 300 lumens for 13 hours! Are three Osram LEDs that much more efficient than one Cree XHP70.2? On another note, the Thrunite TC20 has a legit 10 hour runtime at its medium 300 lumen setting. I only bring this up because the cell included with the Thrunite is 5,000 mAh despite being a 26650. So, what is the deal with the efficiency of these 1 x 21700 lights in the lower modes?
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.
Yup, good idea to show the light for a few seconds! 😊👍🏻
Yes, pictures would help a lot. Even knowing flashlights fairly well, I don't even try to remember the model numbers for most lights.
Could you try split screen also, so that we can see the various lights at the same time?
Yes, a picture/name of light being used is very helpful

Hi Matt! I like the idea of adding a picture of the light, as well as adding the name written beside the picture.

*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...*
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.
Great review and comparison i do like the pic of the light as its being shown good idea
atb john
Yes, the pic and the name!
yes the model and a pic would be great thanks
the pictures help!
Better job this time Imalent
Here is my problem with lights and a question or two for you. All these lights and there are a ton of them on the market. Most are way out of budget for me and, most likely for a lot of other viewers looking for good light source. Can you cut through all the bull and tell us what is the best LED lights from head lights to hand held lights that are cheap and long lasting? Also, you really don't get into how long the batteries really last under full load. Can you also tell us who makes the best batteries at the cheapest price and where to buy? Could you say if it would be better to make your own light source? If so, where would you buy all the parts needed for the build including plastic or glass lenses or light amplifiers? I would like for you to do a show over UVC, UV and INFERRED lighting. Is this possible for you too do? Thank you mate. 'I do enjoy your video's.
A rock solid low cost good quality all around light in my opinion is Convoy S2+ . On full power you will get a little over an hour run time if you use 3500ma cell. Shop at lillumn.com or mtnelectronics.com for batteries. 100% of the batteries they sell are genuine. If you go with the S2+ because the current load is only 3000ma basically good quality 18650 is fine to use in that light. The S2+ also has low voltage protection so you could use an unprotected cell if you want. It will fit most protected cells if you dont want.
@@Lumencraft- Now that's a review. Down to earth and to the nittygriddy of things. Thank you mate.
@@Lumencraft- Do you have another place to shop than lillumn.com? This site does not exist anymore. Could not get it to come up from google. Thank you for your time mate.
It's illumn.comThere is not really any "best" light. There are many lights for many needs. It might be best to go to a forum like BLF.com and look around.
Yes it helps,also does the high lumen decrease throw a little or is it just the reflector?
Or is it just a blinding effect of the flood?
Yes the XHP35 HI has 500kcd beam distance while the XHP70.2 has a 235kcd beam distance.
The DM70 uses a very big led. This is why it's so bright, but a big led is hard to focus into a narrow beam. That is why it does not travel as far a distance. Everything has tradeoffs.
I want the picture or the title of the light to stay on for the duration the light is used. I know frame fiting is tough but you know.
Hey Matt great video thanks for sharing
Yes picture please!
The lights are cool but what's with all that racket you have going on in your backyard.
I think maybe you are referring to all the katydids making the racket. They are tremendously noisy at night.
Yes that helps
Captions in the corner rather than picture.
I just bought the Bushnell Pro 400 flashlight and it takes two CR123A lithium ion batteries. Is there a rechargeable battery that i can use instead?
How does this help?
@@JasonWW2000 are you asking me or the guy that left the other comment?
It should be obvious. I'm asking the guy who posted a nonsensical answer. Did you see his link? It has nothing to do with your question. It helps no one. Plus, why would I ask if a question helps? I'm sorry. I thought everything was clear.
Always enjoy your reviews 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
I like the pic in the corner.
love your videos bro i love LEDs and i love flashloights like very very much i even build my own LED grow lights for very cheep lol i used trailer siding and 3 watt china shit LEDs but they work lol anyways i would use better LEDs but im poor and live with my mom and im 32 lol such is life anyways i just last my grandma this year in march so i feel for your loss hope you have a great day and keep making awsome videos
So they lie about 4,500 Lumens and we are getting 1,200 lumens less, WTF kind of business is that
Marketing at it's finest.
They probably test lumens in a different way...its easy to skew results
When it's off by that much, something is fishy.
Hell yeah that helps!!!
Perfect led cree
RE: YOUR 21700 BATTERY TOO LARGE FOR YOUR CHARGER
To hold and charge 21700 batteries using regular 18650 sized charger, I'm thinking an 18650 sized piece of wood would be inserted into charge slot with bent metal strips extending from the positive and negative end which would hold and charge the 21700. Reckon that'd work?
I have a question.
How can this light not give out more than a 5 hour 50 minute runtime at 300 lumens with a 5,000 mAh battery? I ask this because the new Olight Seeker 2 does 300 lumens for 13 hours! Are three Osram LEDs that much more efficient than one Cree XHP70.2?
On another note, the Thrunite TC20 has a legit 10 hour runtime at its medium 300 lumen setting. I only bring this up because the cell included with the Thrunite is 5,000 mAh despite being a 26650. So, what is the deal with the efficiency of these 1 x 21700 lights in the lower modes?
