Great little dual-tube starter unit!

Installation and Operation	Compared to the Arcadia starter units, this does a very similar job. The end caps push onto the tubes, and the main unit is easy to install; in many ways it's probably easier and less fiddly to mount than the Arcadia starter unit, but it does take up a bit more room. It seems compatible with all standard reptile tubes and reflectors.
Performance vs. Expectations	It performs well - in many respects I prefer it to the Arcadia unit because you don't get the flicker as it turns on; you literally flick a switch and the light is there, rather than you having to wait for it to warm up, flicker a few times, then stay on. It controls TWO tubes, and these must be the same wattage - don't go mixing and matching tube lengths here! Having only a single switch for two tubes can be a bit of a pain if you want to run different cages on different timings, but for the price I'd say it's a more then worthwhile tradeoff.
Value for money	This generally works out cheaper than buying two individual controls, although you do sacrifice a bit of versatility for this, as there's only a single on/off switch. If you have a stack of vivs all using the same tubes and on the same timings, I'd thoroughly recommend this controller!

Liked about it	Value for money - you can control two tubes for not much more than it would cost for a single controller. * No flicker on startup - the tube just turns on. * Very easy to mount - you fix it with screw holes in the corners rather than having to fiddle about sitting it on screwheads then screwing through.
Didn't like	Takes up more space than the competing Arcadia starter. * Tubes must both be the same wattage. * Only one on/off switch - either both are on or both are off.
