hi guys.

I have been using a MarsHydro Ts600 for the past couple of months without any issues.
Removed a couple of other lights so only the mars was left on and noticed a flicker.

It is not to the point where the light is turning off and on but you can see there is a bit of a flicker, and it was a little bit alarming.

The light itself is not live as i touched it by accident without being zapped, if i open the light and all wires are secure would it be a cheap driver issue ?, and would it still be saft to use with the flicker ?.

Thank's in advance

It is safe to use if it’s flickering?

Bullshit. Unplug that light.

Thank's for the info guys.. i contacted mars directly and got passed to someone else who didnt reply, i then contacted the main email again and got ignored.. it's not an expensive light, i have replaced it with a different brand and will never buy from mars again ... their loss not mine, i'm forever buying lights anyway... but now not from them

Next time buy a quality product. HLG, Timber, ChilLed are a few, but there's other good ones too.

I bought two mars hydro and u can feel a electric current off the metal reflector and will sometimes get a shock and when it's turned off but still plugged in if I keep my finger on the metal reflector the lights turn slightly on like maybe 5% power if that it's like when I touch it I finish the connection and it turns on a touch I did get these off Amazon but not used. I think they were like the 150w version ill have to see I'm out of town right now. I'm still running the lights though just trying not to touch any metal parts.
