Frequently asked questions

The term 'Full Spectrum' refers to the fact that this grow light covers the entire spectrum of light that plants use for photosynthesis, from the blue light (400-500nm) that is required for the growth of seedlings and green leaves, to the red light (620-730nm) that is responsible for flowering and fruiting. This feature makes the MARS HYDRO FC-E6500 perfect for all stages of plant growth.

The detachable precise lighting of the MARS HYDRO FC-E6500 allows for greater flexibility in the cultivation of plants. Each bar of light can be removed and relituated according to the specific needs of the plants being grown. This kind of fine-tuned lighting can help promote healthier growth and higher yields.

2.8umol/J refers to the efficacy of the grow light. It indicates that the light delivers 2.8 micromoles of photosynthetically active radiation per joule of energy consumed. This is a measure of how efficiently the light converts electrical energy into usable light energy for the plants. The higher this number, the more efficient the light.

Yes, the MARS HYDRO FC-E6500 is designed specifically for commercial plant growth and is perfectly suited for vertical farming. In a vertical farm setup, the space-saving design and detachable precise lighting feature make it ideal for maximizing growth in a controlled environment.

  • Excellent grow light, misleading advertising.
Size: 5Γ—5(800W)
I posted a very long review that didn't get approved, so I'm going to make it short and sweet. This light draws 800w +/- 5% but the driver consumes 70w. So, 730w of LED power is what you're actually putting out. That being said, I have never had happier plants. I went from having an extremely hot tent with a 1,200w HPS to having a 5x5x6.5 tent that never cracks 85Β°, even with the exhaust fan turned to the minimum. The LED puts out less actual ePPF than my HPS but it's much wider spectrum and MUCH more evenly spread out. My entire tent at 12" doesn't get below 823ePPFD at the minimum. The average at 18" is 1,064ePPFD according to my quantum sensor, and 1,321 ePPFD average at 12". However I like to keep it at 18" so that the light spread it more even, and I don't want to burn my plants as I am not using supplemental CO2. Anyways, the driver thing was explained to me in an email from Mars. I got this grow light on sale for $560, so there's no way I could ever get a better deal on a light like this. My only gripe is that I bought it RIGHT before they put out the FC-E1000w which I would have rather purchased. Oh well, this one is still good for my purposes! If I decide to supplement CO2, I'll lower the light. My power use immediately dropped very significantly just from having this light for 2 weeks out of the power billing period. I'm glad, because power rates in my area are about to go from $0.1205/kWh to $0.24175/kWh at the start of January. I can always lower the light and dim it to cut energy consumption if necessary. I give the light a 5/5 in all categories, but like all companies; MarsHydro overstates the performance of their product. At 12" I only get a total of 1,933 ePPF and they advertise 2,100 PPF Which it seems is never the case in any reviews. As long as you're cool with that, this light grows plants like no fixture I have ever used. The 8 100w blurples from Marshydro that I was using 2016-2019 couldn't get anywhere near this performance or efficiency. Also, the efficiency is much lower than claimed by Marshydro. I get 2.416 EPPF/J. 1933/800=2.416. If we go by the output wattage, I get 2.65ePPF/J, which is less than the efficiency of 2.8 PPD/J that they advertise. All in all, I don't regret my purchase, I will save around $2,000 in the next year on my power bill because of it, and my flowers have never grown so densely and happily. Great job Marshydro, just be more realistic in your ads. Update 1/15/2023: This light has saved me $100 on my power bill compared to a 1200W HPS. My usage statement on November 13 was 1145kWh consumed, December was 13th statement was 1209kWh, This month's statement shows 687kWh consumed. The light will pay for itself in 4 more months. Then we're just saving money. ... show more

Went from the Ts1000 to this after YouTube input. Great power output and efficiency. At 100% dim doesn’t burn up the lung space. Wattage tests confirmed the 300W.

  • Strip/warranty failure update
Size: 4Γ—4(480W)
At 62 years of age, this has been the worst purchase ever! Now jan of 2025, I continue to have constant light bar failures, currently 10 of the 12 original light bars have failed, Mars hydro has warrantied them with a corrected light bar, but at a cost to myself. My belief is Mars hydro was aware of there faulty product and should of replaced it under full warranty when i first made a claim, instead this problem has slowly continued to this day. From the first claim the original light bars, 10 bars of 12 to date, marked MHCEF441LED001.0-480W-A have failed by simply turning on a light switch. While the replacements (9) marked MHCEF441LED00A1.2-480W have not had any failures at all. That is why my belief is Mars hydro was aware of the problem, and failed to appropriately warranty there product at first claim.Now the 10th light bar has FAILED, after another warranty request I'm informed by Mars hydro the product has been discontinued, but i can purchase a replacement fixture for a discounted price. Mind that each failure I've taken them down and had to put back up my 1000w HID and wait 2 months for delivery. I don't operate during the summer months. I refuse to spend any more money on a FAILED MARS HYDRO PRODUCT! I purchased 2 fc-4800 in August of 2022. I've had 6 light strip failures on both fixtures since. Mars hydro has warrantied the failed strips, but at a slow process, and shipping costs. After last failure, mars hydro has offered to replace fixtures at a cost to me of $221 ea. I declined. Update 7-26-24: after 2 months i received another warranted strip. started my system today, another 3 light strips failed again. Mars hydro has contacted me, $30 shipping and a 2 month delivery. I totally regret purchasing this product 😑 ... show more
