My new grow box https://stealthgrowbox.co.uk/product/led-grow-box/ came with MarsHydro ts 600 and i am more than pleased. Grow box dimensions are 40x45x90cm and it does a very good job with not much heating building up (exhaust fan with carbon filter helps with that as well).

I consider this grow light to be excellent for the money and one of the best out there for small spaces.
Now i am trying to build a second stealth grow box of my own and probably i ll use this light to that box as well!

I would avoid the the TS series and the old SP mars lights. They have been made irrelevant now with the wide spread popularity of boards with samsung diodes and $/watt. The TS series is is a dismal 1.6 PPFD @ $0.93/watt. Under a dollar per watt is really good but better can still be had in the budget market. The Viparspectra P series is 1.89 ppfd @ $0.89/watt. I know what your thinking,, Viparspectra wtf !! The 150/250 SP series is 1.8 PPFD/watt @ $1.12/watt. For that price per watt you can step into something with Samsung diodes sitting around the 2.0 ppfd.

I made a list stickied on afn in the light discussion listing most popular lights by ppfd and $/watt to make it easy for those shopping around for lights.

Definitely where I would be putting my $$$ right now if I was in the market. All these QB style boards coming out really should just be branded samsung. The pcb's are all likely stuffed by the same board builder anyway. Then stick a heatsink on and a meanwell driver and call it a day.
