With LED technology being relatively new still and with all of the high tech sensors and internal driving chips , along with their high prices and LED companies that could be here today and gone tomorrow, this is why I believe HID growing comes with pretty much established expectations and with LED lighting it's like a roll of the dice on an expensive gamble if you lose.
It could be different in a few years, that LED lighting prices will drop as well as getting more powerful LED units being backed by reputable dealers with far better quality control. Right now HID lighting is still the gold standard for indoor herb growing.
I recommend to the OP , get a digital HPS like a 250 or 400 Apollo brand. I've seen them on ebay from between $90 -to- $110 with free shipping. If heat is an issue, use a cheap cooltube. If you're still determined to grow with LEDs, I think it would be good to have a digital HPS light as a backup if any future LED lighting you buy fails on you. This way you'll always be able to finish the grow.

naysayers will speak ill of LED anytime somebody has problems, but won't say a word when things go well.
The problems are with the company, and you got what you paid for. Spend your $ with a good company and you won't have this issue. I'd say more to help, but there isn't anything we can do.

If you don't like leds then why do you come to this section and post nonsense and bullshit. There plenty of journals here to prove to the contrary. Hps blows donkeys. Its 1970's tech and has not really improved since. Stay on your side of tracks. We don't want any soliciting propaganda bullshit over here.
With dorm grow...... sounds like the same problems at hydro hut. Tell them you plan on reporting them to the better businesses buruea and legal ethics committee. They are in cali. So I would file a small claims lawsuit against them too. Take thm to judge Judy. If that's still around

ooops just checked my email. and trhey said they would be glad to help me out i just have to send pictures. whew!!! either way i loved the light until i noticed some off bulbs
IDK if they are reading this thread but I have had to do an RMA with them before and it was really easy. I sent a picture I put the light in the mail and they sent a light back that same day so I was only down for less than a day. I sent them an email on a Sunday and had a reply within a couple of hours. I don't work for them or even know who they are but I do own a few of their lights and I've been happy with the lights and the customer service.

Are you PMS'ing like.. every second day? You have really severe mood swings.
They offered to replace the light, but you wanted to be slow and finish your grow - and now the offer to repair it.. I don't really see what you are complaining about.
