I purchased 2 of the 180W units. They arrived and were solid and well built. I ran them for 5 months so that I could grow a range of different vegetable seedlings and get them into the ground early. The light ran brightly and I had no LED failures (N.B. I have an input voltage of 240 Volts which I think the electronics was designed for even though it works at lower voltages). Most plants love it and grow well. Light is very bright with a good spread. The inbuilt fan runs constantly but is not loud or intrusive. Below is my experience - bear in mind I never tried to flower the plants under lights;
Tomatoes - Love it, grow well
Peas & Beans - Love it, Grow well
Brassicas (Asian Greens, Kohlrabi, Broccoli) - They grow but poorly. Under a light moving on a trolley to simulate "Pulsed light" of 15mins dark 45 mins light, they grow MUCH better. Warning! All will immediately flower if you put them out into a shorter light cycle.
Chilies - Grow well if the light is not too close, otherwise they look like Bonsai Chilies. Go for the outer edge of effective distance (1.2 meter high)
I restarted using the lights after a 7 month break and all LEDS come on. I recommend this light to any beginner or seasoned light grower. The only downside to them is no ON/OFF switch - I run on a timer so it is not a big thing for me.

Review was requested
My review is for the 180 Watt lighting system. It is too early for a review besides the impression of the light itself. Shipping was reasonable, the light itself appears to be well made and everything at this point is working as expected. I purchased this light as my ghost peppers were started too late and they have not produced flowers in the greenhouse. I have 2 test plants in my containment unit currently. 1 is a hoya that has never had direct sunlight so has never flowered. I plan to bring my ghost peppers in soon. I will report back to any results in the future.my containment unit is a 3 x 3 shower stall with the sides covered in tinfoil.//update 10/19 actually measured my shower area instead of guessing. 28 x 20. I am amazed at the flowering on my pepper plants. Their sole source of light is this light. All plants are flowering more than when they were in the greenhouse. My ghost peppers are just starting to bloom but the rest are flowering like crazy. I am surprised at how well this light has worked.
