Features, Performance & Results – Mars Hydro 600W LED Grow Light Review

As mars is a well known brand and pretty much everyone is knowing enough about the brand, so we’ll proceed with rest of the details in this Mars 600W Review.

Yeah, why to waste time in unusual stuff that don’t matter?

• Build Quality & Design Factor – Measuring Durability Of Mars!

Being straight to the point, most of our experts liked the design & panel quality.

However, very few among us is impressed with the light placement and board design.

Yeah, parts & materials used in the making of this Mars Hydro 600W Model is of top notch; and there’s no doubt in that.

But, PCB board where each of the diodes are placed to create the effect seems like old fashioned and ordinary.

Moreover, this light is comprised of 112 PCs of 5W LEDs which is equivalent to 560W, so, we are also feeling skeptical for the maths behind 600W figure marked on this panel & and its adverts.

However, upon taking opinion from industry experts we found that light quality in terms of lumens output and PAR readings is more than ordinary 600W HPS or MH systems. And, that’s the reason behind labeling it as a 600W product.

Yeah, we’ve done PAR testing of this mars hydro 600W LED grow light and we’ll discuss about it in detail later in this review.

To conclude, we’ll give 8 out of 10 ratings to it for its build & design factor.

• Light Quality & Results Produced – Something That Grabbed Our Attention

Yeah, I mean light is neither having optical lenses or reflector on it to maximize light effect; and, still we found actual light and brightness of fabulous quality.

Moreover, light is equipped with LEDs of different band ranges which includes 400-410nm, 440-450nm, 450-460nm, 630-635nm, 650-660nm, 730-740nm and 2700K-3000K.

Yeah, Mars Eco 600W features a complete full spectrum which has almost all bands and effects found in our true sunlight.

However, we tried to check for UV lights but it seems like it is not present; while we found 2 IR chips to be working in the center of both part of this LED Grow Light.

Now, if we talk about results then instead of testing it in a single grow space we collected results of around 10 people so that we could count a proper average amount to be expected.

Yeah, on average each member in our survey got around 3 to 4 oz. of yield using single LED for a single harvest.

However, results are dependent on multiple external & internal factors and hence may vary depending on it. So, we advice our readers to consider it for a rough guess only and don’t build any expectations out of it.

• Grow Area, Light Density & Spread – More Than Enough for A Beginner!

This 600W LED grow light by mars hydro is capable of covering around 2.5’ X 4’ of grow space due to its rectangular shape and reflector less panel design.

Moreover, each diode is placed at 90 degree of focusing angle so, all the light will be delivered directly towards your plant canopies. Yeah, near to none light loss.

Also, we found that various studies suggests that direct light boosts the light penetration and light will be pretty dense and plants will take a bite on it as soon as it’s being delivered on it.

Wait! We’ve done a practically believable test for measuring real light quality and density.

Yeah, we’ve done PAR, PPFD & Lumens output tests to make this statement more clear.

We found in our tests that this Mars 600W LED grow light is capable of producing PAR or PPFD results of around 440-455 uMol from height of 18”.

Moreover, lumens outputs obtained from Mars Hydro 600W LED is also pretty impressive.

However, lumens output don’t really matter as it’s what’s being seen by human eyes and don’t have any connection with plant’s growth or health.

But yeah, PAR results are sole aspect behind measuring real worth of an LED panel; and, in this case we’ll say for the price it’s more than expected.

Also, depending on plant’s phase of lifecycle, growth rate and grow tent quality; you could increase or decrease the coverage caliber of this panel as PAR will remain pretty much same.

So yeah, for coverage caliber, we’ll say that it’s one of the most ideal 600w grow light for marijuana growing.

• Power Pulling – What It Costs To Have In Your Grow Space?

Yeah, a wise man won’t look at initial cost of a product and will focus more on to recurring cost that he has to pay while using a product.

Same in this case, if you’re here just because this grow light is pretty much cost effective in terms of initial pricing then you should read it carefully.

Well, actual power consumption depends on several external factors such as type of power output socket, input voltage to the panel and so on.

Hence, in this case as well, we ran a test among our connections of people who’re using this panel since a long time.

Yeah, we found that initially panel consumes on average 195W for its working.

Moreover, one user reported that after 2 year’s of constant usage with rest of 45 minutes after each 18 hours; his panel is consuming around 210W on average.

Also, we’d like to mention one thing in this Mars Hydro 600W LED grow light review that, for the label of price, this is a minor change.

So, in case, you are planning to change your mind then also don’t forget to keep rest of benefits it offers into the mind.

Moreover, entire cooling mechanism is operated with help of ECO Cooling system which is patented technology by Mars Hydro.

Also, upon testing it physically, we found that it runs with normal temperature for up to initial 6 hours and then its heat increases gradually. So, we would recommend to have a hold on each 12 hours of usage until panel don’t get stabilized to the room temperature.

Moreover, with a good quality and decent grow tent with optimal ventilation, this panel will work like magic.
