Silencieuse, design sobre, ça fait le taf sans prise de tête.
Recommended to buy: Yes
Pas mal du tout niveau robustesse, ça respire la qualité quand on prend la lampe en main. Le poids rassure, la finition metal donne vraiment le sentiment que ça va durer longtemps. Monté en quelques minutes, et après plusieurs jours, ça tient bien la température sans ventilateur. Chapeau pour ce côté discret mais costaud.
Recommended to buy: Yes
J'ai tenté un truc un peu perso en mettant cette lampe un peu plus haut que d'habitude pour voir si ça étale mieux la lumière sur mon espace. Résultat : ça fonctionne vraiment, super régulier partout. Aucun bruit, ça chauffe pas, c'est top pour ne pas stresser les plantes et moi aussi. J'aime bien ce côté discret et costaud à la fois. Le seul hic c'est qu'il faut gérer un dimmer à côté, c'est un peu chiant mais au final ça vaut le coup.
