Nice. When I first turned mine on (it's a bit older and has a pink hue instead of the full spectrum people seem to use now) I was shocked how bright it was. Had to convince the neighbours it was for chilli and not pot. Could see it from down the street.. looked like a red light district.
I've got mine on a shelf inside the lounge room, so only I get to be dazzled by the light. I put a shower curtain around it to cut it down, but it still glows a lot. I've bought some mylar sheets that I will use to line it inside to cut the light further. The shower curtain has a nice forest scene on it and is quite pretty, but still a bit too bright - and the reflective surface will be good for the plants too.
