Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

just a fyi, if indeed it was the light, I found Mars customer support to be excellent...I had a driver calf on me, and a couple emails later I had a new driver on the way, it was quicker to do the repair myself, rather than send the light away...only issue I've had with the 9 Mars lights i run, over the years...cheerz... :high-five: ...h00k... :hookah:
 
Both Mars set up !!















 
I have a picture @Mars Hydro

This is how my light looks at lights out using my timer.

Hey trala. I know you found out it's your timer. I just wanted to confirm a suspicion. Was you using digital timers by any chance?

I've found that every digital timer doesn't work with grow equipment. They can allow small amount of light to stay on and affects HPS. Didn't know about LEDs hence wanting to ask :).

I only use mechanical. But as I was moving to LED only from now on I was wondering if I could use smart meters. But tbh I dont trust them.

Hope all's well :)

Hi Moony :)

Hmmm I’m not sure. It’s the one you turn and it goes click click click. If you press down it means light on and if you have the thingy up it means light off.

Omg my bestie trying to teach me how to use that fucking timer! Every time I hear the Glee song “Don’t Stop Believin’” I think of me finally understanding the timer lollling.

Alls good in da hood bruv ;)

Sounds like a mechanical one. Never known that happen. I'll keep an eye out on mine in the future just incase now I know this can happen :) just a quick check on the ladies once soon after lights out is in order :)

Thanks for the info :)
 
This THREAD details the performance of FC4800 during flowering. If you're still looking for a light to use for flowering, take a look.

You know I only recently found out that FC stands for Foldable Commercial! :) Awesome lights from awesome company :)
