Thanks for clearing that up for us Tina

Good evening Weedman30

Hey man thats the "Old Style" 300w Panel with 3w chips. It uses about 180w from the wall. Great light and you cant beat that price

 

[Marshydro]

lol, it is always better to discuss with your wife, haha

Funny I seem to ask my wife as well before buying anything lol. Hope you like your light. Happy growing.

 

[Marshydro]

Your wife is so sweet Can you share some pictures of the new 60x5w lights here? I am pretty sure many growers will be interested, thank you

No sir this time I'm innocent. She knew I wanted another 300W LED and was ordering some things she needed so bing bang boom she does a search, remembers Mars Hydro and clicks order. She did it. I benefit from it. I was going to order an old style 300 but this is better, now I can check out some 5w leds.

 

[Marshydro]

Yep, we have not increase the price yet, so it is pretty a good deal you get it now, lol

Looks like an old style case, but has 5w leds, count em out, only 60 leds on that 300W. check the answers at the bottom of the page, they explain that it's a new model. But even if it was an old style, at this price its a steal.

 

[Marshydro]

Haha, you like the new one right?

Yea I see the answers how they say it's now 5w chips but in the product description it says 60x3w. Hopefully Tina can clarify this as it never seen the old style with 60x5w only 100x3w. Kinda interesting actually but still a steal.

 

[Weedman30]

Haha, you like the new one right?

Yea i think its a great move on your guys part. The 5w are such better Chips for penetration rather then tbe 3w.

 

[Marshydro]

That is a good question, I know you will be interested. lol
The thing is Mars II lights and old models are the same in spectrum except the IR lights, however, the material mars II lights using are much better than the old model ones, therefore the price is still higher.
The old model are designed to be more affordable to our customers, therefore the price is lower. Hope now all is clear.
By the way, mars II lights will still have better growing result

Wonder if their is much difference between yours and the mars2. Both have 5 watt chips.

 

[Marshydro]

We will not improve the chips to be 10watt ones, at least for now. Actually the chips wattage also depend on which kind of chips we use. For example, if we use Cree chips, even the 3watt one are much brighter, but Epistars, 5watt will be better.

That's what I was thinking. Makes the mars2 redundant if that's the case. I know you can daisy chain Mars 2. Perhaps Tina will be able to explain. Will they make new Mars 2 with 10watt chips?

 

[Marshydro]

You clear now dear?

If it has the 5w chips like it says the difference between that and the 400w Mars 2 is:
White panel -60x5w / 140-150 actual watts / coverage - veg 2.2x2.2 ft/flower 1.5x1.5 ft /Price -$81 out the door
Mars 2- 80x5w / 170-200 actual watts / coverage - veg and flower 3x3 / Price - $190
Difference- 20 less chips /25-40 less true watts /a little less coverage/ half the Price

So really you would be better off buying two of the white ones for the same price and get more watts more coverage at the same price.
