What can be better than going camping on a beautiful starry night? Imagine yourself sitting by the warm fire with a couple of marshmallows on a stick, a cup of wine/ juice in your hand. Away from your everyday life! If you are the one who would choose camping any day, then you know how important it is to have a great and reliable lighting on your trip. STKR Concepts makes sure you have a great variety of the most innovative lights that will change your camping experience.

2. Best light for the camp cook! - The FLEXIT Headlamp

Cooking in the darkness is near impossible, and a traditional flashlight is like cooking with one hand tied behind your back.  Impressive if you are that good, but why?  Free up both hands with the FLEXiT Headlamp.  This headlamp will become your favorite light source while camping. It has 180-degree “halo style” illumination, that helps you see your full cooking area.  If you think the “Halo Lighting” is nice when you are cooking, you will love it when you need to hike into the darkness to use natures “outhouse”.  The spotlight will illuminate your focal point, but the side flood LEDs lets you see the sides of the trails too.   Nobody wants to run into any surprises at night!

The FLEXIT Headlamp is super light (only 5.8 oz with batteries), low profile, and features super plush foam/felt backing making it possibly the most comfortable headlamp on the market.

3. Best tent light - FLEXIT Flexible Flashlights

Your tent is your happy place, especially after a full day of hiking and playing in the wilderness.  However, when the sun goes down your tent turns into a dark cavern.  While it may not be necessary to light up the inside of a tent with an LED light as powerful as the 1200 lumen Mobile Task Light, we have found the FLEXiT line of flexible flashlights to be the best solution!

Available in 4 options, the line of FLEXiT Flexible Flashlights is the most universal flashlights made by STKR Concepts, and possibly the most useful flashlights on the market!  hang these flexible LED camping flashlights from the top of your tent and bend the LED face into a shape that lights up the specific areas you need light, or make them light the entire space!  Used the different light modes to perfect the lighting from, “wow, that’s bright!”, to “Now that’s perfect for reading my favorite camping nighttime stories”.

As an added bonus, they are all magnetic as well.  Stick them to your camp stove, RV, or vehicle to light up your environment.
