Our verdict

IMALENT is a lighting specialist for anyone who wants torches, headlamps and lanterns without a wider home range, with prices starting at $29.95. The trade off is a catalogue confined to lighting, run from a headquarters in CN for the countries it lists distributors in, with a 30 day return window.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The catalogue is entirely lighting, so every listing sits in the category you came for (lighting).
  • IMALENT prices start at $29.95, ranking 25 of 82 brands on entry price.
  • A 30 day return window gives room to try a torch or lantern at home before you settle on it.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you are not tied to a single way of getting an answer.
  • Distributors are listed across AE, AU and BG, so the range is reachable well beyond the home market.

Cons

  • The range is narrow: product types cover lighting only, where Sofary Modern Lighting for Less also lists decor (lighting against lighting and decor).
  • The entry price is competitive rather than the cheapest, sitting at 25 of 82 brands on price from.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, with no live chat in the list, so fast answers lean on the phone and email.

Visit

Who it suits

  • Shoppers who know they want lighting and nothing else, and would rather not scroll through decor (lighting).
  • First time buyers after a cheap way in, with prices from $29.95 and a 30 day return window to soften a wrong order.
  • Buyers living in the countries where IMALENT lists distributors, AE, AU and BG, who are happy to order online rather than visit a shop.

Who should look elsewhere

  • If you want to style a whole room in one order, Abracadabra NYC covers decor and wall art alongside lighting (decor, wall art and lighting).
  • If reflective pieces matter, Dublino Moebel sells mirrors with its lighting (lighting and mirrors), which the lighting only range does not.
  • If you want lighting priced as the main event with decor mixed in, Sofary Modern Lighting for Less lists both (lighting and decor).

How it compares on our data

On the rows compared here, IMALENT is judged on a narrow set of measures, and they point in different directions. It is ranked 25 of 82 brands on price from, which puts the entry point well below the middle of the field rather than at the very front. On return days it ranks 16 of 109, comfortably above the middle. Read together, the picture is a brand that opens cheap and asks you to decide fairly quickly, but still gives you a real window to send something back if the beam, the size or the colour is not right. For a buyer still comparing, that means price can only be the tie breaker after you have checked that a lighting specialist actually carries the type of light you need, since a low entry point says little about the rest of the range.

The company behind it

IMALENT has been trading since 2012 and is headquartered in China, which shapes how you buy as much as what you buy. The catalogue is specialist, so the company behind it is a lighting company first and a home brand second. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, meaning you can pick email, phone or the help centre depending on how quickly you need an answer, and no channel leaves you without a route in. The practical point for a first order is that you are buying from a manufacturer that reaches customers through distributors rather than from a shop with a walk in showroom, so plan on ordering online and checking delivery to your country before committing to a brighter, pricier torch.

How IMALENT compares

Frequently asked questions

How much do lights cost at IMALENT?+

Prices start at $29.95, and that entry point ranks 25 of 82 brands in the field, so it sits well below the midpoint. Torches, headlamps and lanterns sit along that same line. The figure is a starting price rather than a typical basket, so leave room above it for the brighter rechargeable models.

How long do I have to send something back?+

The return window is 30 days, and on that row IMALENT ranks 16 of 109 brands, a stronger position than its entry price. That is enough time to charge a headlamp, run a lantern indoors and out, and check the beam does what you need before deciding.

Where can I buy IMALENT lighting?+

Distributors are listed across AE, AU and BG, which covers much of Europe, North America and parts of Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. If your country is on that list you can order direct from the site; if it is not, the range is harder to reach, so check before you plan a room around a particular model.

What kinds of products does IMALENT sell?+

The product types cover lighting only, so there are no decor pieces, mirrors or wall art in the same basket. That is the trade for a focused catalogue: fewer browsing decisions, but no way to finish a room in a single order from a single brand.

How do I get help from IMALENT?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can go by email, phone or the help centre. A call is the quickest route for anything about an order already in progress, while the help centre suits general questions about a model before you buy.

Who runs IMALENT?+

The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in China. That points to a manufacturer profile rather than a retail showroom, so there is no walk in browsing and orders go online or through distributors. Buyers who want to handle a torch before paying should plan for that.

How does IMALENT compare with other lighting shops?+

In these rankings IMALENT sits at 25 of 82 brands on price from and 16 of 109 on return days, so the entry point is among the cheaper ones and the return window among the more generous. Abracadabra NYC, Sofary Modern Lighting for Less and Dublino Moebel all sell lighting, and each adds other home categories.
