The FLEXIT Solar is a versatile and robust flashlight designed for a variety of uses, particularly excelling in emergency preparedness due to its renewable power source and adaptable design. It combines a powerful lighting system with flexible utility and convenient charging options, making it a reliable tool for both everyday tasks and unexpected situations.
At its core, the FLEXIT Solar functions as a flexible flashlight that can be manipulated into various shapes to direct light precisely where needed. This flexibility allows it to serve multiple purposes, from focusing a concentrated beam on a specific object to spreading a wide floodlight across an entire room. This adaptability is a key feature, enabling users to customize the light output to suit their immediate environment and task requirements.
The device is equipped with a sophisticated lighting system that includes a central CREE LED spot light, surrounded by 12 wide-angle flood LEDs. This combination ensures that users have access to both focused and broad illumination. Beyond white light, the FLEXIT Solar also incorporates inner red night vision LEDs. These red lights are crucial for preserving "night-vision" in low-light conditions, preventing the eyes from having to readjust after exposure to bright white light. This feature is particularly useful in situations where maintaining night-adapted vision is important, such as during camping, stargazing, or tactical operations.
Operating the FLEXIT Solar is straightforward, with independent power and mode buttons located on the top of the main body. The power button turns the light on and off, while the mode button cycles through five distinct lighting modes. These modes include a combination of high spot and flood light, high flood light only, low flood light, red night vision, and a rapid flashing hazard beacon. The hazard beacon is designed to immediately alert others to the user's location, providing an important safety feature in emergency scenarios.
One of the most significant features of the FLEXIT Solar is its dual charging capability. It can be recharged via a solar panel integrated into its design or through a micro-USB port. The solar panel allows for continuous recharging whenever the device is exposed to light, harnessing renewable energy and reducing reliance on external power sources. This is especially beneficial in outdoor settings or during power outages. For quicker charging or when solar power is unavailable, the micro-USB port provides a convenient alternative. Users can connect the device to a USB wall charger, car charger, or any other USB charging device, such as a computer. The device indicates its charging status through the power button, which blinks while charging and glows solid when fully charged.
The FLEXIT Solar is built with an ultra-thin, flexible body that houses an integrated lithium-ion battery. This battery is designed to be powerful and long-lasting, providing reliable illumination. The device's construction emphasizes durability and practicality, ensuring it can withstand various conditions while maintaining its flexible form factor.
Maintenance of the FLEXIT Solar primarily revolves around its battery. To prevent battery damage and ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use a power charger with an output of 1A to 2A when charging via micro-USB, and to avoid chargers with an output exceeding 2A. For units that are stored for extended periods, it is crucial to recharge them every four months. This regular recharging helps maintain the optimum performance of the lithium-ion battery and maximizes its charging levels. Failure to maintain the battery through regular recharging can lead to damage, which is not covered by the warranty.
Safety considerations are also highlighted in the device's guidelines. Users are warned that the product contains high-intensity LED devices and should avoid staring directly into the light beam at close range to prevent permanent eye damage.
In summary, the FLEXIT Solar is a highly adaptable and self-sufficient lighting solution. Its ability to bend into various shapes, multiple lighting modes including night vision and a hazard beacon, and dual solar and USB charging options make it an invaluable tool for emergency preparedness, outdoor activities, and general utility. The emphasis on renewable energy and flexible design underscores its utility as a modern, reliable flashlight.
