My plants love the programmable 8 hours of light they receive each evening from this lamp. It has so many great setting you can customize. Haven't used the timer function yet.
The arms are very bendy but sturdy. The octopus arms are great and when i put this in the middle.
It flickers and goes off. If you tilt too far back, the metal joint cuts the cord. Even though the main bulk of them live in my dining room between two windows i felt that they weren't getting enough light.
The timer is not dependable. The control now malfunctions every day. The timer works sometimes. I won't rebuy this brand.
It's very bright, the remote works from pretty far away. I love the timer it has - 4, 8 & 12 hours. It also has a dimmer and you can set it to have both lights on or just one.
One works fine and the other quit working after 24 hours. Falsely advertised as coming with a power adapter but just comes with a usb connection.
