I love my Mars lights, this was my first grow with a set of SP250's, 480w from the wall, 2x4 canopy yielded just over 20oz, great lights and they produce no heat at all even with the drivers inside.
This is my current grow with a full 4*3 canopy this time instead of the 2*4, if I'm honest two of these would still probably yield you 30+oz in your tent with a little training.
I paid £340 for the pair delivered to the UK, can't fault @SmokeSara shes great for info, help and assistance.

That is true. Sara’s very nice, and very helpful.
Yes she’s very knowledgeable about Mars products.

Still wondering about a light can’t decide? What’s the best budget light! Don’t judge me! Lol the spider farmers seen excessive on amazon and they r saying pre order for UK and the mars just seem over priced for me especially if it doesn’t even have the good parts like the spider farmers

Yeah, the person on Amazon has just bumped up the price , taking the piss since lockdown.
As I've said, I've been looking at the spider farmer myself, 3 weeks ago the sf 1000 was £160, now it's £200. They're taking advantage.
6 MONTHS ago it was £120 on Amazon.
You can still find it on eBay for £129 but you gotta check the seller.
Wish I'd bought it for £120 6months ago.

Mars Sp250 bud, you will be impressed and they do have some uv specs in them I'm hearing.
Sorry I don't know your budget.

my budget is around £160 but I will check that sp250 bud
I know seriously taking the P man! And even if I did pay the horrible asking price is probably have to wait a while for it!

Irk, I was happy to pay the £160 for it, but seeing jump up to £2oo over night put me off.
Mars hydro and spider farm are the best available to us in this country, unless you import from abroad.
Maybe the price will go back down after we're allowed out.

I can understand the choice right now for ease, but there is one other option. You can buy the Samsung boards and mean well drivers in parts and make your own light, much cheaper, there's even threads on here telling you how.

Will most definitely have a look at that! Is it easy to purchase these parts?

I'm not really up too date with parts sites, a couple of years ago I was looking at a cob build, if I remember properly the a site was called Alibaba or something.
Anyway the main part, the board name/number is Samsung Lm 301H boards , there's loads of places for the mean well, you just have to match the driver watts to the amount of boards you have.
Loads of members on here have built thier lights, check out the light section in growers forum, they'd be able to tell you best place.

I think with a discount code it's around £160-200, soon as you get one just keep buying them when ever you can

I couldn't give an opinion on that light but if it's a blurple then I wouldn't rate it I tried a 340w blurple and the performance and overall outcome was terrible, I'm running one now in a veg tent and it's even bad for vegging but it's only my opinion based on one grow using them.

If you're on a tight budget and want the best components you should look into doing a DIY build @Edzzed did it super simple and affordable.
