What you say about the warranty is true. It is limited, and a weakness for sure.The lights seem to work ok. But they lie about the par ratings. The warranty is very limited. You end up paying over half the cost the light to fix it after the first 3 months. They say costomer service is terrible. The stores here won't sell them because of these issues.
+1 I also did a grow diary on the p1500 by viparspectra, such a good light I didn’t sell it. I have future plans :)It's a good light but there are better options. Depending on your situation (budget, tent size, desired results...), this may be a good option for you.
Here are a couple others that I looked into when choosing my light:
HLG. HLG lights are some of the better quality lights on the market right now and are considered to be the most trustworthy. They use brand name parts, have a good warranty and publish third party test results. Their lights are built and assembled in the United States. They do come at a higher cost though. They also often don't have proper heat sinks and half relatively low diode/watt ratios compared to other companies lights. These combined will reduce light output, increase heat output and reduce lifespan (only slightly but still something to consider.)
Viparspectra (full spectrum lights). These lights are also made from brand name parts. These lights are assembled in China so they come at a much lower cost than ones coming from North America. A plus with these lights are their heat sink. Viparspectra lights also all have dimmers on them which can be super useful.
Hope I helped.
My kingbrite from china is still going strong. Im about to order the 320 watt versionForgot to say the light goes for ~105-120$ and shipping was another $55
