Highlights for me include the ability to mount your camera easily to the back of your desk, control it with stream deck and adjust the light through levels of brightness and colour warmth with ease.
It also uses bright, flicker free OSRAM LEDs but they're edge lit, and diffused, so it's not just glowing brightly directly into your eyes.
