THey have been used for 400 hours should I get them or is it a bad idea?

NO!
2x £180 = £360 when for £30 less you can get the new GN Leds priced at £330 inc vat to be released that will out perform these second hand units

Yeah but the new GN leds are £330 each and less wattage?

They are different tech, more efficient and greater output, its your money but I would want brand new when it comes to a grow light,

400hours my ass thats not even 2.5 weeks of a grow and the unit in the pic looks like its been knocked about.
Who do you know that buys leds and uses them for 3 weeks and has more than 10 of them?

Please do not buy these lights, at least look into buying them direct from a supplier who offers a warranty if you are happy to spend £360 total. You have the cash for new dont go second hand.

good luck

If you're in the market for leds and don't want to wait for the new GN's and don't feel comfortable ordering direct from Cidly or Bysen than yes, they would be a good option for you. 400 hours on them is nothing to worry about.

Hmm thinking about it I might wait! do you think 1 new panel will pull of a nice yeild with 3 plants in a 120x120 tent?

I personally doubt that one unit will be sufficient for 3 plants. It really depends on how big of a plant you're planning on growing, what size pots you'll be using, etc. It would definitely cover 3 plants grown in 32oz cups, but probably wouldn't cover 3 plants in 5 gallon buckets. It all depends on your plan of attack.

I would be growing 3 in 15l airpots so probably need 2 panels

Two would be the minimum that I would use, but maybe I over do it. Always better to have too much light than too little!
