Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today we have the STKR Concepts FLEXIT Headlamp. This is gonna be the 2.5 headlamp and it will provide some light for your different adventures. We have different options here for floodlights and spotlight settings. We're gonna take a look at those different features. This is gonna be the more affordable offering from STKR Concepts, and you can upgrade to the 6.5 when you're ready.
This is gonna share a lot of the same design features as the 6.5 Headlamp Pro, like the Halo style lighting, as well as the FLEXIT spotlight. You also have your nice battery pack in the back, but this is gonna be the more affordable version where they pair down some of those features. You still get that functionality, you don't have to pay as much. So let's do a quick summary of what those features are. This is gonna provide a 180 degree angle beam, or that's gonna be how much light you have when you use the floodlights.
And then for your spotlight, that's gonna be your light if you need to look in the distance or a specific thing. This is designed to fit around different helmets, whether you have your climbing helmet or your bike helmet or a hat. And when you have it on those, you can then use that spotlight and adjust it to the angle or tilt that works best for you. Everything fits pretty well. We do have this foam on the inside that's gonna provide the extra cushion as well as maybe if you're sweating, this will keep this on your head.
And it's gonna be a little different compared to headlamps that are designed to stay on your head just because that cushion is a little on the thick side, so I find it works best for those helmets. Your lights are operated by the battery pack in the back. So first we have our high spot light and our high flood light. Then you press it again and it's just the spotlight on high. Another press and you have your medium spotlight, high flood light, low spotlight, high flood light.
And then finally your high spotlight with your flashing flood and red hazard lights on the side. And then pressing again, you cycle through the whole system. If you want to turn this off, you hold down on the power button. From my climbing and hiking and guiding experiences with headlamps, I prefer having more control over the different lights. For example, I do like how this has the floodlights, but you can't just have the floodlights. You have to have the floodlights with maybe the lowest setting for the spotlight. What if I wanted to turn the spotlight off or if I wanna turn it back on on its own I'd have to cycle through all the different features to get to it. There are five modes to cycle through, so that can be a little tedious and you'd have to remember which cycles which, and double check in the dark to make sure you have the right one. With it off of my head, you can see more closely our headlamp. Here's a good look at the foam. You can see that it is trying to come off though, because it's only adhered to the headlamp by glue, so do be careful with that. With the pack, you can see the button. The button is illuminated when the headlamp is off, which also adds a little bit of visibility behind you for whoever's hiking behind you. And if we want to open this up, let's lift this lever up and then that will give us access to our batteries. So this takes three batteries. They are included with the lamp, so they're three triple A batteries. Some places offer rechargeable batteries that you can switch these out for, so that may be an option for you, or you can just carry a bunch of extras of these. This is gonna give you 250 true lumens of light, and that will be the brightness of both the spotlights and the floodlights. Now, for your runtime on the lowest setting, it has a 12 hour runtime. And again, being able to switch out those triple A batteries can help out if you have a longer or more extended hike. So if you're looking for your first headlamp and you want something that has a good amount of versatility as well as runtime, then getting the STKR Concepts 2.5 FLEXIT Headlamp may be helpful for you. I do like the adjustability as well as just that design of being able to fit over a variety of things. I personally think this would be best though over helmets and bike helmets because of that foam material. I'm not as comfortable with this on my head, especially during hot climates, as I would be with something that has a more higher quality foam or different layers to it, just the work with that sweat and the moisture. So if possible, I would recommend taking a look at the 6.5 version. This is also gonna provide red floodlights on the side and not just the white ones that your 2.5 offers, but that's a whole other video worth taking a look at. For something that will give you some light for your adventures and will stay on your helmet or head, this was a look at the STKR Concepts 2.5 FLEXIT Headlamp. My name is Evangeline and I hope this helped you out.
