How reliable are Steve's LEDs fans?

[MorganAtlanta]

I just finished a DIY actinic supplement bar with Steve's LEDs square tubing and fan. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and order another fan to have on hand in case the current one gives out. Other computer fans I've used seem to have about a 12-18 month lifespan (at best) in the humid and salty environment of a canopy. How long have people found Steve's fans to last?

I ran my biocube retro kit from Steve's for 2 years without any problems

Mine went out in 6 mths. But they replaced it.

About six months on four fans for me. They all have been working great.

Not had a problem with the fan itself, but the voltage regulator used for the fan was DOA. They sent me two replacement regulators and it has been fine since.

They are cheap fans..

And if you have your fans blow into the canopy they will last MUCH longer vs blowing out as they are then just passing fresh external air and the "moist/salty" air is just going out a vent.
