"Nice and minimal esthetic goes well with my twinstar."
"When using a timer, I notice sometimes the light getting dimmer each day. It seems each time it turns on it ticks down one notch. This doesn't always happen, but I tend to have to check my lights once a week to be sure they are at the right level."
