it doesn't list the actual lumen output, but they compare it to a 150watt HID, so for a couple plants this should work. I would suggest doing LST with a couple plants unless you plan on going autoflower which then they wont get too tall, but if using regular plants that grow nice and tall wrap them suckers around with LST creating a bunch of colas stretching up into the LED penetration area 
TRUST ME THATS NOT WORTH IT DON'T BUY THAT ONE ITS OVER PRICED. If your going to buy one get : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-180w-Lighthouse-Blackstar-LED-Grow-light-3w-LEDs-/290556299056?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a6814730 or http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2011-100W-6Band-Lighthouse-Blackstar-2w-LED-Grow-Light-/280736897577?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415d391a29 . Both more powerful + are made by a decent company + give more lumens

At least two times more grams per watt than HID, haha what a load of horse shit!

I wouldn't buy stuff from HGL, the owner is a scam artist. And their LEDs are super overrated and over exaggerated.

There are much better, much cheaper LEDs than HGLs. Even Blackstar is better. And those are like 1/3 the price.

Not at all the best, just the most reasonably priced and actually gives decent results. I have one of the 240 watt models (actual wattage is 135).
Grow LED Hydro LEDs are the most proven at the moment, they also have a 5 year warranty. There are others out there probably as good, but I only have experience with GLH, Blackstar, and HTG, and the HTG LEDs are terrible. I have a 300 watt one, and it wont even outperform 150 watts of CFL.
I'd check into Blackstar's 180 watt, or GLH's 100 watt, both run at about 100 actual watts.

I paid $270 for the Blackstar 240, and depending on strain, I've seen over 1/2 gram per watt. I get about that, I have a friend who has one, and he gets a little more, but the strain he's growing is higher yielding.
I have an older GLH panel, and I get better results with it than any other light I have. The GLH uses 3 watt LEDs. My GLH panel with the same exact strain produces maybe 25% more per watt used.
I think you'd be happy with either Blackstar, or GLH. Blackstar is a lot cheaper in price.

How many plants could a 180w cover do you think?
and well i'm going to invest in a blackstar then
Hows it going with them?
any link on grow?

Depending on the strain, if it's a smaller strain, like indica dominant, or an auto, with the 180, maybe 2-3 plants, 4-5 if you're lucky. If it's a bigger plant like a sativa, 1 or 2 plants at most. You can train your plants though to grow where you want them to.

probably a couple of autos
and i will use alot of LST
maybe if one plant probably a sexy scrog!
