I needed to paint the carbon composite hood on my 2004 Acura TL, and needed a heat lamp. I didn't want to go with the traditional multi-bulb type as they all come with unstable base (I use them at work and hate them). This unit has a stable & smooth-moving base, and the price was reasonable so I went with this.Being made in China, there are a few minor quality issues (+the instructions are full of grammatical errors), but not bad enough to return (negligible). It has ON mode & Timer mode up to 60-min, which helps. It really helps cure painted surfaces, but my biggest concern is the bulb does not have a part number so when the bulb burns out I would either have to find a matching bulb on my own (couldn't find the seller's contact info) or junk it. I'd rather not junk it, as I really like the stable & smooth-moving base and it doesn't take up much space in my garage.
