Sorry Dennise, it is not we don't want to sell them,it is just the competition on EB and Amazon are making us losing too much money, and there are just too many copied ones, so...

I finally received the 300w old style light from Cramazon and what a kick azz little light. I hate you are going to stop selling them... I am really quite impressed for the price and it is just perfect as a fill in light in the 4' tent........

that is a great tools

High Kraise I have that same exact LUX meter... I don't know how accurate the real numbers are but I know it works well for measuring the difference in the lights you have and are comparing......

Hope you get the light soon.

Thanks Sara.
No worries, I am in no rush. It is the right thing for my garden. And I have been building my garden up for the last 6 months.
Blossoms Blooming.
Hope you had a nice holiday

Welcome back Sara, hope you enjoyed your holiday

Hello Dennise it seems we share the same taste in equipment, or the same sense of frugality at least I do have a Photography light meter which is very accurate, apparently there is a mathematical way I can work out lux using that, I'll have to read up and we can see how accurate our lux meters are

 

[Mars Hydro]

Still if you need my help, please don't hesitate to tell me.

Thanks Sara.

HELP

After couple days into bloom 12-12, light stayed on today for 16.5 hours(big closet), just put it off manually,timer from the 300w didnt go out,changed all last night an half hour later when

The first 4 weeks are the most important, so was wandering if this could have done harm?

Hi Sara, my order number is 6098. I understand wait times and everything else I just didn't expect not to have my product by now. I'm 5 days behind with 2 seedlings not making it due to my t5s breaking while being hung plus with the way my mail man operates the day my package is to arrive I technically won't get it until the following day if I can make it before they close. This is why I need tracking so I can plan to leave work to pick up. I ordered on the 12th and money was taking out of my account on the 13 and been told twice tracking was sent. I got no issues with mars hydro. I think the owner and you Sara are great and go above and beyond but sometimes there's these flukes that don't pan out the way they should, not our fault just the roll if the dice. I can't wait a unknown X amount of days any more. Please mars hydro let's get this sorted out

 

[kelticBlue]

Still if you need my help, please don't hesitate to tell me.

Absolutely! I have a tracking number.
I will take pictures when it arrives.
Happy Day . . .
Thanks so much.

Hi guys!

I want to get affordable LEDs and came across the 300W "old model" types on various sites including ebay.
I have a few questions before I buy:

* There are those with 100 LEDs x3W and then a similar model with 60 LEDs x5W.

What is the difference and which ones should I buy?

On ebay there are vendors called "marshydro-uk", "marshydro-de" etc. I am aware that buying from ebay means only one year warranty, but the price is just too good to pass. (Budget is limited). I am just wondering whether those vendors are actually the Marshydro guys and not some vendors trying to sell cheap knock-offs. (From looking at it they seem genuine?)

I am planning to grow in a small greenhouse. Is it correct that I cannot use any drip-system with those lights because they're not waterproof?

Are there other brands/vendors in this price range which sell "decent" 300W lights? I am aware that €100-ish for a 300W LED would likely not give me "top-of-the-line", but as long as the lights are decent I think I should be ok?

Cheers,

G.

The 5w have better penetration, so if you grow taller that would be better.

Hi Sara,
As I can see you are a Mars staff member.
Can I ask about Reflectors?

I see that you have 144 x 5 W reflector. Reflector series LED Grow Lights - Mars Hydro

My question is: do you have a 192 x 5 W version, or only 3 W?

If you have a 192 x 5 W, what is the real power draw of it at 220V?

Overall: which of your light is better Mars II series or Reflectors? And why?

What is the actual power draw of Mars II 900 W at 220V?

Thanks very much,
Cheers
