I just received my Mars hydro light. I'm not always one to write reviews, but these guys deserved one. And my previous light was a king LED 1200 w, which used a lot of the reds and blues. I have been looking for a higher wattage light because I have been having low performance on my last few grows. I put this light in yesterday in the afternoon on the 11th of February. I checked it this morning on the 12th of February, it's like a switch was flipped on the tomato plant. I only wish I had it before a picture. In the one I showed I had to tuck more branches under the SCROG netting. Because they had moved so high they were getting closer to the light. It runs a little warmer and then the King LED. And the surfaces of it can get, I wouldn't say hot, but warmer than warm to the touch. My only gripe is that it seems to be a little weighted to one side. When I put it in my tent it leaned a bit in one direction. As far as I can tell it's that the third box which is the dimmer switch, and daisy chain box. It's on only one side of the light, it doesn't carry a lot of weight, but it appears to be just enough to make the light tilt. I fixed it very simply by using a small plastic box and adding weight to it, I rested it on top of the light, and it seems to work well. Simple solution. All in all the light is awesome, I can't speak to its longevity, I only just got it, but very impressed at the start. UPDATE I thought I would add an update to my review. It's now the end of August 2021, the light is still running strong. Still works exactly as it did. It's holding up perfectly, have not had one issue yet. Plants grow amazingly well under it. You can also put the light nearly right on top of the plant and it will not burn it. Granted you got to have good ventilation. I'm sure an obvious question people have, I was able to grow fruit that was incredibly dense, and very high in potency. I knew some purists who are very good at what they do, and they did not think an LED could stand up to HPS, and even they were impressed by the final result.
