Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

I get what your saying.. There so little and they fit right under light not needing to be higher for coverage yet. I should only have to raise light for coverage. I ordered a light meter. I did some reading and everything I read was telling me a lux meter wasn't accurate for actual plants. I ordered it any way because I'm sure as hell not spending $500+ on meter to read Par. Thank you Buzz. Everything is online exempt these very important answers I want. lol
After getting light meter I find 12" to be perfect at 35% dimmer for veg.

Question, TS1000 set up in closet, this morning before the timer kicked in I saw that the light had a faint glow and looked up from below it and noticed that the diodes looked to be glowing. Unplugged light and the glow on the diodes disappeared. Plug lights back into power from timer and diodes glow.

Normal operation? :nomo:
WoW!! I have heard others complain of this. I think factory settings aren't dialed down enough on zero. Not sure but is there a screw on bottom of driver to dial down? If not exchange for a return.

see it in cars all the time with LEDs, resistor is fix if becomes problem in car.
LED work on such low power you will get pass through on timer switch or they shared neutral then use a 'bleed', something outside of tent like a light bulb.
 
Hmmm...that is not good for business (growing). There recently was another member on here explaining the same situation.

Your timer should cut all power to it when it is "off". If there is still a trickle of power getting to it, I would replace the timer before thinking it may be the light.

The light is designed to accept the power given. It would not glow of there was no power getting to it.

Your timer should cut all power off once it's cycle has ended.

The timer is a cheaper fix and as in automotive, always go for the cheaper fix first.

While tending to the dwarf plants under the light I got the same thoughts. When it gets dark enough I will conduct testing to determine the root of the problem. I am suspecting the timer has bleed thru I will use meter to test.

Thanks to all :thumb: and it was one of those DUH:laugh: moments when I thought it thru.

Ok.. I've got some umbrellas for fan leaves. Obviously there covering up some potential bud sites. Should I remove. Will it slow down growth. I haven't seen @SeniorMoments in a while but if your out there please give me some tips. Senior Moments grew some monster Gorilla Glue autos a couple months back. Anybody!!!! Love to hear thoughts.
