Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

[arellanobrian]

Just out curiosity....How well do these lights hold up over time? I'm looking to invest in another light and I would like to try the LED route.

I've had my mars2 and reflector series lights for just over a year and did have a couple diodes go out on my but i sent the light in to the repair office for free and got the panel back in 15 days so even if you have minor issues it is easy to get fixed

Who paid for the shipping?

Who paid for the shipping?

They paid for the shipping both ways, I think after the 2 year mark the buyer pays for repair

I'm hanging (4) Reflector 144 x 5w in a 5'5" x 4" area. Does anyone have a good solution or idea to keep the lights from turning or rotating into each other.
My wish is to have them hanging equally parallel to each other for even coverage.
I use yo yo hangers.

You could fashion some metal brackets and carefully screw them into the housing of each light at equally parallel distances. One bracket on each side should keep it sturdy.

Hi Frank,when we did those tests,we put water under the light(inside the blue box is water),

we tested with different humidity(50%-80%) with different inside and outside temperature.We simulated the environment which you discribed in your home,but it didn't have droplets on the light.You also said your exhaust system function is good,it's hard for us to figure it out
Here is the video repair center sent to us when he opened your first light(i should send to you the first time)
www youtube. com/watch?v=97jbvZxEtuQ
www youtube. com/watch?v=vuK1jpTY2GY&feature=youtu.be
(you need edit it before you open the link:there is a "." after the triplet "w",there is no space after the"youtube.")
As he can't figure out other reason why plenty of waterdrops covered the light,and there wasn't any waterdrops on the foam or the box,so it didn't happen during the delivery.That's why he told my colleague it's the humidity problem when you used the light,this is the first thing came to his mind.When he opened your light,it's also dirty inside of the light,he took a long time to clean it.
Our Canada technician didn't know well about profession information about our light,he only knows how to repair our light.As you can see,at 80% humidity is not a problem for our light.
My colleague Della joined in our company just few month,she is still learning.I'm sorry for the misleading.
Della contacted with the Canada repair center,they are lacking of accessories,the new parts will arrive at this weekend.
we checked that you bought the two lights together in 2014,when the Canada repair center got your second light,it's the same situation inside.So it's really hard for us to figure why.
We are willing to honor the warranty,but when it's only under our policy.

Hi Sara,
Thx a lot for taking time to do test. The only thing that bothers me in your test is that if you leave the light inside the tent you'll never have water droplets form since the difference of temperature is between the tent and the external environment . For this test to be valuable you'd have to take your light from inside the tent at no mater what RH over 50% and temp over 20 to outside of the tent and expose it directly to a much lower temperature close to 9C.

You are right you haven't been silent about the situation and I appreciate It and that why I contacted you through here. In the past you gave me a good price and an incredible service when I purchased those lights and I was expecting the same for the customer service but communications with Della were not easy and I felt she didn't understand me well. She didn't answer any of my questions and her answers were systematic I had exposed those lights to 70% humidity so it was my fault if they were broken.

As I said in an earlier post she even sent me picts of the text messages I exchanged with your Canadian technician just to show me she knew I exposed the lights to 70% humidity. But you confirmed that your lights have been tested in rh up to 90% without problems so I guess it must not be my fault if they broke.

That's why I came here and contacted you.

Also do you think I would have shipped you a light with water droplets into it? Sorry but im smarter than that and if it was the case I would have let it dry before I shipped it ...

Anyway from now ill just wait for Della to contact me and hope this situation will be resolved properly.

I guess I wont be refunded for the first repair I already paid for but its ok I don't mind. I just hope it will be considered for my 2nd light.

Best regards and A Good day to you and to 420 members

Frank

Re: Humidity question

Hi BeaverIslander,Please do not worrywe tested our light can be used at around 90% humidity
We tested with big temperature difference at 50-80%humidity for one of our client this week.At 80%humidity,we switched the light on for one night and switched off for one day,the light function well.For Reflector seies will be the same.
You need to make sure that your exhaust system works well,and avoid Sulfur， silver， acidic substance in the air.Also do not change the parts which out consult with us first.
when the fans in you light pull air in to cool the hot inside of the lamp,the moist could perhaps condensate and thereby fog up your glass. You know like the window in you bedroom when waking up a cold christmas day,you can not see anything outside for your window,thats the result of hot moist air meeting cold surface.
It will not be a problem for using the light,you can clean it regularly,.

Sara,

How does humidity effect the MarsHydro Reflector series (particularly 192X5)??? I would think they would be fine when the light is on, but what about when the light is off? Are they specially made to resist moisture?

What I'm getting at is - if the humidity level in your grow area is say 60%, what does that do to the internal components of the light? As an example, I have a grow area that is covered in plastic, this morning when I checked on it there was water running down the inside of the plastic at 55% humidity..... I'm probably worrying over nothing, but it got me to thinking about it.

Thanks,
Beav
