Frequently asked questions

The term 'Full Spectrum' refers to the fact that this grow light covers the entire spectrum of light that plants use for photosynthesis, from the blue light (400-500nm) that is required for the growth of seedlings and green leaves, to the red light (620-730nm) that is responsible for flowering and fruiting. This feature makes the MARS HYDRO FC-E6500 perfect for all stages of plant growth.

The detachable precise lighting of the MARS HYDRO FC-E6500 allows for greater flexibility in the cultivation of plants. Each bar of light can be removed and relituated according to the specific needs of the plants being grown. This kind of fine-tuned lighting can help promote healthier growth and higher yields.

2.8umol/J refers to the efficacy of the grow light. It indicates that the light delivers 2.8 micromoles of photosynthetically active radiation per joule of energy consumed. This is a measure of how efficiently the light converts electrical energy into usable light energy for the plants. The higher this number, the more efficient the light.

Yes, the MARS HYDRO FC-E6500 is designed specifically for commercial plant growth and is perfectly suited for vertical farming. In a vertical farm setup, the space-saving design and detachable precise lighting feature make it ideal for maximizing growth in a controlled environment.

Wattage: 800.0 Watts
I posted a very long review that didn't get approved, so I'm going to make it short and sweet. This light draws 800w +/- 5% but the driver consumes 70w. So, 730w of LED power is what you're actually putting out. That being said, I have never had happier plants. I went from having an extremely hot tent with a 1,200w HPS to having a 5x5x6.5 tent that never cracks 85°, even with the exhaust fan turned to the minimum. The LED puts out less actual ePPF than my HPS but it's much wider spectrum and MUCH more evenly spread out. My entire tent at 12" doesn't get below 823ePPFD at the minimum. The average at 18" is 1,064ePPFD according to my quantum sensor, and 1,321 ePPFD average at 12". However I like to keep it at 18" so that the light spread it more even, and I don't want to burn my plants as I am not using supplemental CO2. Anyways, the driver thing was explained to me in an email from Mars. I got this grow light on sale for $560, so there's no way I could ever get a better deal on a light like this. My only gripe is that I bought it RIGHT before they put out the FC-E1000w which I would have rather purchased. Oh well, this one is still good for my purposes! If I decide to supplement CO2, I'll lower the light. My power use immediately dropped very significantly just from having this light for 2 weeks out of the power billing period. I'm glad, because power rates in my area are about to go from $0.1205/kWh to $0.24175/kWh at the start of January. I can always lower the light and dim it to cut energy consumption if necessary. I give the light a 5/5 in all categories, but like all companies; MarsHydro overstates the performance of their product. At 12" I only get a total of 1,933 ePPF and they advertise 2,100 PPF Which it seems is never the case in any reviews. As long as you're cool with that, this light grows plants like no fixture I have ever used. The 8 100w blurples from Marshydro that I was using 2016-2019 couldn't get anywhere near this performance or efficiency. Also, the efficiency is much lower than claimed by Marshydro. I get 2.416 EPPF/J. 1933/800=2.416. If we go by the output wattage, I get 2.65ePPF/J, which is less than the efficiency of 2.8 PPD/J that they advertise. All in all, I don't regret my purchase, I will save around $2,000 in the next year on my power bill because of it, and my flowers have never grown so densely and happily. Great job Marshydro, just be more realistic in your ads. Update 1/15/2023: This light has saved me $100 on my power bill compared to a 1200W HPS. My usage statement on November 13 was 1145kWh consumed, December was 13th statement was 1209kWh, This month's statement shows 687kWh consumed. The light will pay for itself in 4 more months. Then we're just saving money. ... show more

The light seems very sturdy and well made. The only issue I had was the dimmer. Always seems to be such a cheap switch on otherwise great lights from Mars Hydro. First light had to be exchanged for one that worked. Amazon made it right quickly though with a replacement light sent immediately. Have had this issue before on different model lights from the same manufacturer. The new driver and dimmer worked beautifully and the light can go from 0 to 100% power. Do love the low heat output, especially with the driver mounted up high in the exhaust fan air stream. Getting well over 1000 par readings at 10 inches from the canopy. Buds responded well to the new light. Looking forward to using on a full run seed to flower. Ill update the review in a few months after and show the results. Coverage is perfect for my 4x4 closet. Also, do make sure to alternate between A and B bars when assembling the light. They only have one UV led diode per bar. A and B bars have them at opposite ends for even coverage. Update #1 Light has done great in veg. Had an unexpected autoflower in the bunch as well. It’s blooming nice and dense under the light at 75% power and 18 inches below. I added a picture of the veg setup. Will give one more update after flowering. So far still absolutely a 5 star light. Last Update This light has preformed absolutely beautifully. Clones grow vigorously and buds speak for themselves. Recommend this light to anyone interested. ... show more

    • Great light
Wattage: 800.0 Watts
Easy setup, awesome coverage. With the driver placed outside out the tent, temps are easily controlled. What else can you ask for. All the connections on the light were a bit loose so i tightened everything up, so be sure to check for that. All in all, for the great price, I would recommend it to people looking for a powerful light on a budget. ... show more

    • Light excellent. However the remote control app is junk
Wattage: 150.0 Watts
The light itself is excellent. However there is no Bluetooth (you have to buy it) and the app is terrible. If you're just looking for a really bright light with dimming capabilities, this is good. Don't be expecting decent Bluetooth timer/dimming capabilities on their app though.

    • Full coverage in a 3x3!
Wattage: 480.0 Watts
This light is awesome. It fits perfectly in a 3x3 and provides very even coverage thoughout the tent. I'm a few weeks away from my first harvest with this light and my plants have not seemed to ask for any more than 75% brightness during flower. The light bars get a bit toasty when the brightness is raised up, and the ballast does get hot. The ballast being removable is very handy because of this. The hottest my tent has been with this light on is 80F, while my home was 74F. It's worth mentioning that AC Infinity's adapters DO NOT work with this this lamp very well, despite being listed as a supported model. My light would randomly turn on at night, so I just stuck it back on a timed outlet to be safe. Mars Hydro's app may work better, but judging by the 1.Something star reviews for it, I sort of doubt it. Don't let that or a lack of Samsung LEDs dissuade you from buying this lamp, especially if it's on sale. I paid about $400 and received a heat mat as well. It's currently on sale for $373 for Black Friday at the time of writing this. In my opinion, it's the best bang for your buck, especially in a 3x3. ... show more
