yes, you can use that one, plug into wall, you'd better use 220V cord to connect two light together. so you need to use two 220V cord.

I bought my Mars II on 420, April 20th 2014.
Do you mind answering my question about the warranty? Will your company honor my three year warranty? I plan on buying another light and I will buy it on ebay again from your company. That is my wife's requirement if I want another. You are better equipped to understand the way a woman thinks and I know better than to go against her wishes.

Thanks,
WJ

Thank you so much for your honest answer Sara. I will try to convince the wife to buy from your website. Just have to say the 3 year warranty is from that site only. I have used your light for two successful grows for my medicine and now on my third. Autos what a wonderful plant.
I want to winter over my tomatoes in the basement with a larger light. For the past two years I have used a 250 watt CFL and a 125 watt CFL; both actual wattage. LEDs would be so much better. My tomato plants are three years old. I might get tomatoes in the basement with a 900 watt LED.

Hey bud, it might be easier to convince her, their website accepts paypal as payment, so you will still have paypal buyer protection. And if it helps at all, I just bought a light directly from their website Monday the 8th, they were closed Monday for Holiday, so my order was received on Tuesday the 9th, and I had a tracking number Wednesday the 10th.
I should receive the light at the beginning of next week, and I can personally take pictures to prove I received the product if you'd like.

Ordered thought email with sara, paid with paypal and got tracking code all within 4 business days.

U. OTE=.SmokeSar a;2231428]ok, I would like to explain this , I have known that for a long time but forgot to tell you .

Yes, EB only give customers 1years warranty, while website give you three years warranty. it seems there is a law in United States say that electrinic products ,seller can only give one year warranty, so EB store changed and observe that law why I keep three years warranty on website, becuase I know most people who place order on website know me , we are friends, I would like to help you more. I know the led grow light can keep working for a long time, one year is not a problem. but three years, I think I can help you. after three years, I recommend you throw them away even they are working well. for safety,electronics you can not use too long time. I know some company give five years warranty, do they know most grower use the light more than 12hours per day? keep using 5years, how dangerous that would be? I can not image. I know they think longer warranty they give, most customers will buy from them and think they are providing better service, we do not think so. in our business, safety is the first

Sarah please tell me this isn't so I'm supposed to throw a product away after 3 years. That they are dangerous after 3 years ? that was only thirteen thousand hours out of 50,000 hour led life. on 12/12 395 day year. 3 year warranty I thought was that if it broke after 3 years I was on my own. not that It would be dangerous or catch Fire. first thing I want to thank you for your honesty for giving Out these Safety concerns. I will definitely have Them gone from my house in 3 years. it definitely changes the cost difference between led and conventional lIghting. thanks

I agree Tunaslayer, I expected these lights to last longer than three years. If they are not safe beyond three years I will not be buying another.

I look at it like a new car warranty. You buy a car that had a 3year/36000mile warranty. If it breaks within those promised times, they fix it. If something happens after that, you fix it.

The car manufacture would love for you to buy one every 3 years, but most consumers do not. It's either they pay repairs, or not. I trust my seat belt to help me if something goes terribly wrong with the car , and I trust my power strip, circuit breaker and smoke alarm if something goes terribly wrong with my light.

You don't have to throw them out after 3 years. Do you throw your brand new car in the garbage after 36 months has passed?

this was the main reason i searched for one of the best circuit breakers in our area without spending 200$ and having a electrician re-wire its own switch.

i also installed a smoke detector inside my veg room and above my flower tent to give any last minute warning.

the one 't' i havent crossed yet is getting this portable sprinkler system that you attach to your ceiling. when it sense's smoke like the detector it releases 2.5-5 gallons of water. messy, but no fire

I&i

after 3 years, once warranty is voided i would (being a techy guy) take it apart and just check the inside, clean it if needed make sure no wires or sauder are burning or melting and fans are all operating correctly.

Send them to me after three years I will gladly pay the postage!

That's ok bud. You can post your pictures of box opening here for everyone to see if you want. That would be nice for others especially the newbies that are thinking about buying a good LED at a good price. I watched Sara from the beginning and that's why I bought two. Other people's journals and how they felt about TopLED products. She gave away three when I was watching and I thought that was grand. I would have liked a free one but I had never grown before. I'm on my third grow and I'm still a knucklehead and a newbie.

I am familiar with the company and Sara. My wife isn't. You know how women are. I've been married to mine for 38 years.
I like to stay on the good side of her and for me it isn't hard. Oh yea, it's her paypal account. Jeez, love, what can you say?

[wildjim]

You're absolutely right Colesdad. I don't plan on throwing them out at 3 years. My Toshiba TV is more than 10 years old. It had a 1 year warranty. I will however open them in a couple years and clean them of dust and stuff to keep them operating at their peak. By then I'll have the TopLED 10 watt chip lights. Hopefully. How about it Sara? Any 10 watt chip lights in the works from TopLED?

10 Watt chips and LEDs only last for 1 grow... thats 90 Days... then you need to throw then out or send them to me... LMAO!!!!
Ohooo yea... thats 90 Days from the manufacturing date.. not when you get them... hahahah

im going to be trying a 3w light system my next flower. the 5w is great and ill continue to use it however the temps on the 1600 in my 8'x5'x5' tent push 90 degrees when i didnt have the bigger blower in there. now ive got my 6" blower blowing in and 4" pulling out temps stay right around 80-83 (i would like to see even lower around 78-80) could not imagine the heat that would come from a 10w would be interesting at a commercial level..

I&i

Edit : flower room is on second level of a house as well so temps should come down in the coming month or so

 

[wildjim]

My 700 watt raises my tent temps to 91. A/C is set at 76. Room gets to 83. 10 watt chips could get higher. I only have a 4'' fan pulling air through Phresh filter and out tent. I can't wait for cooler season. Fan crapped out and new fan got here yesterday bent and unusable. Bought cheap fan and filter. Fan lasted 3 months but amazon is giving me cash refund. VenTech is crappy fan IMHO.
My tent is 2'x3'x5' tall.

[Gfcollective]

that sucks about the fan.. im with you on waiting for the cooler seasons.

like yourself, my fiance tends to play a big roll in what i can and cant do with my garden inside the house. luckily she loves my gardens when winter time hits about the only time, or when i start herbs for her to watch me grow
