NEXTORCH eStar Knob Controlled Headlamp Review

The NEXTORCH eStar is a knob controlled headlamp with a spotlight, a floodlight and a red light. It takes three AAA batteries or a rechargeable LiPo battery with USB-C charging.

The runtimes are better than expected and the output is well regulated.

Spotlight

Floodlight

Both (Spot + Flood)

The thermals are pretty good.

Nice review.
BTW, does the word “Knob” down under have the same meaning/use as in good old blighty?

Yeah, it has a few different meanings :rofl:

Is the level memorised for each mode separately or applies to all of them?

The brightness level applies to all of the modes. So if you have it set to 100% it will be 100% when you switch between modes.

I noticed that making it dimmer takes more turns compared too making it brighter.
