260 watt Quantum Board kit for $330.00 USD. Can't beat that.And the HS1 LED are the Money worth?
I can Order from the USA with litte Tricks they are not high Taxeswhich is the Best LED in the US for 300-400€???
This Light here from Opticgrowlights? http://opticgrowlights.com/200-watt-vero29-led-grow-light.html
470USD are not Cheap maybe the HS1 Grownorthern are a better Option because no Tax in EU! Very Hard to find the right LED...
I contacted Hans several years back and I almost bought a light from him, but I decided on the Spider600 from BML instead because they are only about 90 miles from house here in Texas. I liked the setup & the price of the Hans LED, but I just didn’t feel comfortable ordering something from overseas. BML uses white light now instead of the old burple lights that were so common back when I purchased mine...I have the Hans Panel 180 Watt version and I can vouch that it's an excellent light. I see everyone here selling it short. Do you guys have one? Are you using one? If not then don't you think it would be better to just say nothing or 'I don't know'?
In my personal experience, I was growing 3-4' foot plants with my HPS setup indoors- This LED light is doing that or maybe even better than the HPS. I was surprised at the output of the light and had my doubts that it couldn't stand a chance against my HPS. I was wrong.
I heard someone say that the technology is outdated...oh? How so? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything. I just can't understand why people are discounting something with no experience in using the lighting system itself.
I'd also like to mention that it's very well made, and again...puts out a LOT less heat, and sucks up a lot less of my money in electricity. So I disagree with the comment about the technology being 'outdated'. It's HPS lights that are becoming obsolete, too expensive to run, and which create a lot more damaging heat and light burn if you aren't careful.
I guess it's probably a good time to throw some photos. And for those who are interested, I'll keep updating, and maybe I will create a grow journal and then you can decide for yourself if its right for you or not. Not just some advice out of hearsay or pure speculation.
Yes, the 180 watt is expensive at $350 for some people, but shipping was free which sweetens the deal, and it's a lot cheaper than some of the most expensive LED systems.
I just planted an Auto Blueberry and a White Widow (hybrid auto feminized) the two plants in the 6-liter buckets. Let's see for the record how good it is. Oh and ignore the sick Warlock fem that is recovering from high pH in the photos. I adopted this plant
The Hans Panel has a lot of white light with blue LED's for the veg stage. It has a switch on the side that turns on some extra RED LED's for flowering. There are no purple looking spectrums like those cheap Chinese LED lamps - Those are garbage for sure, and I almost bought one
The thing is I am growing autos but am switching when the plants begin flowering. 
You don't need to have personal, hands-on experience with a grow light to know that it's outdated. The power-to-price ratio of this Hans panel is way out of line with modern LEDs. When you can get a 260w Quantum Board fixture (a light that has the weight of countless testimonials, journals, reviews, and pictures on its side) for the same price, it's a no-brainer: there is no reason whatsoever to buy one of these units. I'm not saying it won't grow good weed, and a few years ago, I'm sure it was a viable option, but buying one now? You'd be cheating yourself.I have the Hans Panel 180 Watt version and I can vouch that it's an excellent light. I see everyone here selling it short. Do you guys have one? Are you using one?

Sorry, I disagree with you.
Okay. But why?
Yes, please. Why?
How convenient for you.
Looks like we're not going to get an answer.
I've owned 4 too (the old 80w model), only one survive till today, not that great but it was a good first experience with led grow light... I didn't know for Hans, i had the chance to meet him at his place in amsterdam, he was a really nice guy, it's sad.
If it works for you that's all that matters.
Don't take it personally when I say that it's overpriced and outdated. No one is saying you're stupid. But facts are facts, and it's simply true that there are better lights for less money. If you're happy and you're growing herb that satisfies your needs, that's great. But our observations on this light are not irrelevant - you're not the only person reading this thread, and if someone else is looking into buying a Hans panel, they may encounter this conversation while researching the light. Being honest about this unit's shortcomings is entirely appropriate.
Todogrowled sells Quantum Boards and COBs, they're in Spain.
Humple, what is wrong? You say not updated but dont provide any radiometric data to support that laughable assertion.
Cool cred? You're funny.
One or two people are running at 220 lm/w, at a 320 LER, that is 71 or 72%, that is strictly expensive Diy, not a single sold fixture is in that category.
