Hello everyone, is there are someone who have 4x2 tent with led lights? I have mars hydro tsl2000 in 4x2x7 tent with exhaust 20w 5inches 190m3 but it's not enough to keep temperature belove 25, basically the tent has to be opened all the time... Outside temperature is just above zero, in the...

I take it that you now supply adequately long leads on the TS series to place the power supplies outside the tent. My TSL 2000 has leads that are a bit short even for the installation with the power supplies mounted on the light. The leads are short enough that they can place undue stress on the plugs and sockets - the plug housing are bending upwards because of the somewhat short leads. After the many daily thermal cycles of 50C++ this could potentially fail sometime in the future. Ref. the pictures below.
Now, like some people I'd like to place the PSUs outside the tent, but that either requires extension leads which are hard to get in adequate quality, or make my own extension. For the latter option I can't find any 2.5mm DC plugs with a rating I dare use for each of the 150 watts halves of the TSL 2000.
My plants and me like the TSL 2000 a lot
- it's a great light, but the situation with the DC leads isn't ideal. Since you now do supply long enough leads (two TS 1000 I recently bought had the long leads, and so did the OP's TSL 2000 in the referenced thread), I'm wondering if you will make those available for existing customers. Personally I'd be happy to replace the existing leads, opening the PSUs and swapping them out for longer ones (well within my professional capability), but others may want actual
extension leads that are professionally made and rated for the power in use.
The somewhat short leads:
The short leads place mechanical stress on the plug and socket - an arrangement like this can be failure prone, particularly with the thermal cycles the lights undergo:
