Pros
- High efficiency for its size, so a 2x2 ft tent costs little to run
- App scheduling and sunrise and sunset dimming without a separate controller
- Bar layout spreads light evenly to the edges of a small tent
- Digital dimmer display makes it easy to set the same level again
Cons
- Sized for a 2x2 or 3x3 ft tent, not a larger space
- No far red or IR diodes, which some growers add for flowering plants
