The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Opalo 3 from French brand Stoots is ideal for mountaineering, gravelling, adventure raids, orienteering, etc. This model also features a large-lens LED that delivers a 400-lumen SPOT beam. This narrow, sharp beam is aimed at over 120 metres. This ultra-focused SPOT passes through other diffuse lighting and allows you to point precisely at an area.
It has a maximum output of 1200 lumens, with a 2-hour runtime. A total of 6 levels are available: 100 lm (30 h), 200 lm (12h), 400 lm (7h), 700 ml (4h), 1200 lm (2h) and SPOT 400 lm (4h).
Opalo is powered by a removable, cylindrical Easylock 18 12 Wh battery with a capacity of 3500 mAh. The lithium ion battery is recharged via the waterproof USB-C port.
The light pack features :
- 3 white LEDs that allow you to mix 3 beam widths (wide, medium and narrow), for a lighting range of up to 120 metres.
- 1 white SPOT LED, for ultra-focused, narrow lighting.
- 1 red LED to indicate battery charge level. It is also used to illuminate in fixed mode at low power and in flashing mode. This mode is ideal for map reading, so as not to disturb neighbours or wildlife. The flashing mode lets you be visible in any situation.
The Easylock concept adds versatility to this lighting system: the lamp is independent of the battery, bracket and strap. The light can be easily attached to a range of accessories: strap, helmet, bike handlebars, etc.
3 lighting technologies:
- Fixing Focus adjusts the width of the beam according to the lighting mode. This technology makes vision more comfortable and increases the range of the beam without any loss of diffusion.
- An all-encompassing, homogenous lighting environment that reduces visual fatigue.
- The electronic control system maintains constant power, so there's no drop in brightness depending on the battery level.
Opalo 3 has an electronic lock to prevent it from being switched on accidentally when being transported. The design is robust, thanks to the aluminium chassis.

This Stoots headlamp comes in black. You can customize it by choosing an additional color palette. This option is sold separately.
