- One of the cheapest ways to light a 2x2 ft seedling or herb tent
- Dimmer knob lets you turn it down for seedlings and up for fruiting plants
- Fanless, so it runs silently in a living space
- Plugs into a Spider Farmer GGS controller for scheduled dimming
- The maker’s own output and efficacy figures disagree, so its real efficiency is likely closer to 2.2 µmol/J
- Too little light for more than a 2x2 ft area of fruiting plants
