Highstar founded in 1999 are known as one of China’s leading manufacturers of LED reading lamps and Bluetooth speakers. Recently they released a new product with features not commonly found in other LED lamps.
At first glance the Highstar HSD9042A has a resemblance to the Xiaomi Philips Eyecare Smart Lamp due to the similar design of the stalk. However they are completely different in function. For starters the lamp is not flexible and has a wooden base.
The first noticeable feature of this new lamp is the fan on the base. This mini fan can be removed from the base and features 3 speed settings. The fan’s inbuilt battery is recharged via 2 pins on the base of the lamp.
The other interesting feature is two USB ports for charging your mobile devices or the fan itself. Unfortunately the exact speed of these USB ports have not been stated, but it would likely be 5V/1A or 5V/2.1A.
