What is wrong with this LED?

Nothing if you don't mind cheap parts that might last a few grows and paying $112 for 185w of light that will light up a 2ftx2xt space.
If you don't like false advertising its possibly not a good choice.

There isn't a 185w light on earth that can light up a 5ftx4ft space enough to flower anything worth smoking.

Please excuse my sarcasm.

Blurple.

So seems HID is still, hands down, the best, most economical light on the market.

I remember when LED first hit the scene and the LED supporters were swearing it was the best available light, those were the 1watt leds, now they are up to 10 watt LEDs and still crap.

not necessarily the best, but still cheaper to buy. but you have to buy a fan, and ducting, and a hood, and set it all up.
you can get results from both, but it takes at least 400 watts of top bin leds to match a 600 watt hps, and you'll still probably want to run supplemental uv with it. it's been my experience, experimenting with both, that if you set the room up right you can get as good or even a little better quality out of leds, but you'll never equal the mass you get from hps.

HPS are only better if the only factor you're considering is initial cost.

But then your average 100$ 400W HPS output around 1 umol/j and today's latests LEDs are doing 2.5 umo/j without heatsinks... And will last for at least 10 years without needing any replacements...And we haven't even considered the massive difference in spectrum.

1000W DE HPS are actually worth it though, they're twice as efficient as their 400W sisters, and sometimes they can be found really cheap especially if you're in california

1) 1000w but pulling 185w? What a bunch of little fuckers. I have two Meizhi 450w in a 2x4 tent and at least Meizhi is crystal clear they are 195+/- 5w lights. I got them for about 75 bucks a piece, new.
2) Go look at the "customer pics" and notice that one guy that has a cola of popcorn buds. NOT a pic I would upload and brag about.

If you can get some cheap LED lights, and you have a small space, then you do you. But personally, I'm not buying that brand.

EDIT: Here is the pic on Amazon.
