4x4 LED Grow Light PAR Test & Heat Test! - Mars Hydro TS3000 LED Grow Light

In this video, I PAR test and heat test the Mars Hydro TS3000 LED grow light. These measurements are taken at factory settings. Click the link below to see a PAR test where I increase the dimmer to 100%. What do you think about these measurements? Let me know in the comments section below.

    Hey Mr Grow It, I have just got the TS 3000 last week, all set up now, let's get a grow going and see what it can do. I'm running 5 Blueberry from Dutch Passion in a 4x4 in 5 gallon pots. Happy Growing dude and always love your content. Was subscribed to you on another channel.

    @NorthernCaliWay I have one and have been using the TS3000 for over 2 months now ad i would say it only adds 1-2'c at most to the grow tent. so if your tent is 23'c lights of it will be 24-25'c lights on

    I have a SF-4000 which is almost an identical light and I can confirm without a fan actively cooling it, it gets way too hot, so I suspended a turbo fan above the light pointing directly onto the drivers and it's only tepid to the touch now and the tent is much cooler because the heat can move freely!

    Any device with electricity running through it will last longer, if you run it at full power. Sounds more like a helpful hint than a warning. For this light, you don’t need it at 100%, unless you’re supplementing co2 or if you just like to run with your lights higher above the canopy. Probably can’t beat it for the cost.

    I’m always looking for “real” reviews of lights . The problem comes when you get a “free” light . For some reason people in this Industry will lie and sell their soul to any company that will give them a “free” light. Red flags always flying when I hear “Mars hydro sent me this light here’s my discount code “ !!

    I agree and that's the reason why I don't do "review" videos. I unbox and show the PAR numbers and let the measurements do the talking.

    @@aesho46 Cheap is all what some people can afford. Ours has performed flawlessly for 3 years of daily use. It easily yielded 1.5 gms per watt even though the light was rarely run at full power. Most of veg was appx 60% power JM2¢
