that sux as i pulled it the other day and im starting to regret it now from what is being said here. i was just scared it was male and i did'nt catch it or something and i did'nt want the pollen to drop, and as far as the light goes it's a real low dull glow so dull i can't see my hand in front of my face or anything close just a real dull low glow coming from sum duct work for my fan but less than a moon lit night with clouds. i'll put it that way.
