Did you always run that way or was there a reason to bring the two together?

I can't spend $700 on a light so I'm hoping to get some budget suggestions

Mars hydro fc4800

I run 2 mars hydro fc4800 - no burning smell, or over heating, real nice fat juicy and snowy buds is all I get. it's not just the light its making sure your whole room is dialed in.

1 will do a 4x4 fine, other option is spider farmer se 5000

yeah the HLG is a better product but it depends if you have the budget.

Four TS1000s, gives me up to 600w and as I have 4 of them I get better control over my lighting.

I run it that way in the cooler months for the extra IR, and switch to LED only in the warmer months.

$549 isn't terrible for 480w is it? Also you don't have any issues with overheating or burning smell? Thats the one complaint ive seen posted about mars-hydro products.

Yes, on top of the tent with my exhaust keeping the driver cool to the touch.

You run 2 inside a 4x4? Also do you mount the driver outside?

TheHouseOfGreen420 · May 2, 2022

I run 2 in a 1.8 x 1.1 tent

drivers are mounted outside, yes.

Where'd ya get that rack to elevate it off the canvas?

DrDukePHD · May 3, 2022

I decided on one FC4800. Is it ok to order it from Amazon or should you order direct from website?
