Mars Hydro TS3000 introduction

May i ask if there are any feedback pictures for TS3000? Mars.
Two SP250 and TS3000, which is better? Thanks in advance.


SP will get you better canopy penetration. TS will have a more even spread, less penetration. If I can think of another way to work penetration into a sentence, I’ll get back to you. :tiphat:

it was prob me... they cover u for 3mos- then up to 12mos u pay the shipping back to them, 12-36 u pay round trip shipping, repair charges and handling fee...

certainly not what i consider a '3' yr warr..

saying the above, there are a number of guys using their lites, and some impressive grows- i actually just bought a ts600,(for side lighting) and it is brite... i hope it lasts...

I've been using a tsl2000 for 6 months now at full power with no cooling. No issues with it yet. I imagine mine will last the least amount of time of anyone's the way I use it.

What does the TS3000 use for cooling?
I dont see any fins or fans?

The Alumunum pcb board could help lower the heat.
Also it is dimmable. The power can be dimmed down.
The drivers can be mounted out of tent since there is extension cord. :tiphat:

I've noticed some reports of LED drivers running hotter, when cool air is constantly blowing on the LEDs. I would imagine it's universal, but wanted to make sure the TS series operates the same way.

Does cool air on the LEDs run the drivers harder and a bit hotter? (This would account for at least some of the heat variation growers report)

That sounds a little weird. Could you pls share the report link?

More seedling pictures of TS3000.
Seems one TS3000 can cover 16 plants in this stage. :dance013:
