Yes you live and you learn, but what did you expect from a growlight for €60? I had two of the 300W, this is a loooong time ago. With one I had to replace LEDs myself (MH sent me the LEDs since the LEDs burnt out very quickly. The other unit oddly enough was fine. (I still have the lights in my closet somewhere). I mean you get what you pay for. I think they're still "ok" as beginner lights if someone is on a tight budget. This is the same like those people flying Ryanair or some other budget airline for €39 from the UK to Spain, and then complaining about the service or the food on the flight
