180 Blackstar UFO - pulled the trigger - Any input?

Did a lowball bid on one yesterday and the offer was accepted.
This is the 2011 model, 6 band w/ 2 watt diodes. Advertised as flowering model.
Willbe used in a 2' X 2 1/2' closet where the plants don't get over 3 ft from dirt to canopy. (usually more towards 2')
Grow style varies widely and from 1 to 9 plants depending on grow style at the time.
After procrastinating for about a year on these, I thought it good to give a try with one. I know this may not be the top of the line for many of you, but for me I'm not needing(?) much. Being comfortable with the 250 MH/HPS I'm hoping this is a good alternative and somewhat compatable.
I find that most info on total grows with these to be sketchy at best (and confusing).

Questions are -
Should I be expecting to need side / low CFLs to compliment the grow of these in veg or flower?
Will my light meter still be usable when comparing light at the plant when checking intensity / penetration?
What distance for total coverage and best penetration / intensity?
And if I expand room size, how much area are these really good for covering? Think they say 3' X3',, but that's advertising and we all know how to believe that.

Honestly, still not convinced on LEDs,,, but I've gotta find out. The "pluses" are definately inticing to me. Now if it only will work.

i was looking at the same light for my dp90.let me know how the light turns out for you.

I just got the 240 flower- the 180 if I remember is 2w leds- the 240 uses 3 which gets bit better penetration. Added mine to my cab along wiith the 2 90w UFOs ( 1 w chips) and growth is taking off. Going to flower in a week or so once I get enough side colas from LSt. They love the 6 spectra it seems. I did add a cfl for heat originally b4 I putthe 240 in- plenty of heat now so I pulled it out. I still may side light with cfls once the canopy gets dense. You are only going to get 4-6 sq ft, not 9 out of this one.

Thanks for the reply.
I was torn between them 2 actually. Hope to do complete grows with this in the 5 sq ft closet. Remember thinking the 240 may have been a bit much to start out.
Figured if need be, a CFL could get dropped down the middle for lower levels.
Hear 8 - 12 inch over the canopy is about right?

Thanks

8" is supposed to be right withthe 60 degree leds- not sure how 180 is- might be a mix. Wider angle, you can get closer. I have my 90s with 1w 120s about 3" away on sides

How low was your offer?
