For which grow space is the Mars Hydro TS LED Grow Light suitable?
The TS-600 is suitable for a grow space of 60x60 cm and the TS-1000 for a grow space of 70x70 cm. A 100 Watt LED grow light replaces a 150 Watt HID fixture with HPS or MH lamps. A 150 Watt LED has the same light output as a 250 Watt HID. In short, growing with LEDs is more energy-efficient.
Extras and features of the Mars Hydro TS LED Grow Light
The TS series LED leaves your old HPS/MH lamps well in the shadow! With 50% more photon efficiency and about 30% more yield at the same power, they are not only powerhouse performers but also super energy-efficient and green. So, say goodbye to those outdated lamps and hello to an eco-friendly future! Additionally, the lamps in the Mars Hydro TS series come with a hood that has a dual function. Not only does it spread the light, but it also has a cooling function. This ensures that the LEDs have a longer lifespan (>54,000 hours!) and produce less heat under the lamp, reducing the risk of scorched tops.
The TS-1000 features stepless dimming is equipped with a convenient button to dim the light in one go. Handy for watering or when you're working in the tent.
