" ... The light, fan . ... "
" ... Light is way to weak. ... "

" ... Wish the power adapter cord was another foot longer, but otherwise functions as advertised. ... "
" ... Design wise, the unit's pretty nifty and modern, but it's still just plastic and wire mesh with what's likely just a laptop cooling fan, so let's not get crazy and over think it. ... "

" ... There is some mention of some kind of outrageous claim of just how long the bulb lasts which makes you think that it will still be burning bright right through the next ice age, but in reality (and from info by neighbors who also made the mistake of purchasing this power-waster), running 24/7 which is what one does with these kind of units, they all found themselves with a suddenly light-less unit within six to eight months, or less. ...
