What up Mars?
I got a 2x4 ft cfl light I run for seedlings and cuts. It works good but takes 216w to run, looking to find an alternative that could maybe cut the wattage in half n still have good results. Is there an LED that can cover this area efficiently?

several...sp150,sp250,tsl2000...
i don't know for sure but i would guess around 50% based on the other lights i have of theirs with meanwell drivers

I think they all go: off/25%/50%/75%/100% at least those are the markings on mine (a ts1000) and the factory setting is 75% I believe?

Hi Chevy, Thanks for using our light. it is 90%. The light can be 110% power but we don't suggest to do like that. Because that will shorten the lifespan of the light.
So how low can the spf 250 be dimmed and does that shorten life as well or increase it?
I'm going to switch to led lighting soon, I got a 4'x8' with 2 600w atm with a small veg/mom box, I want to expand and add a veg room, swap the 2 600's and add a 2'x4' tent for veg cycle.
Think I could swap 2 600 for 3 300w tsl2000 and then get a tsl2000 and setup a veg tent without changing overall wattage.
You won't regret it.... your electrical usage will go down a lot, and your cooling becomes easier/less costly.
I've used HID's for decades and now that i've started using LED's my plants show less heat stress, and grow even better than with high intensity discharge lights, i would go so far as to say that HID is inferior to LED.....
I'm going to try Mars Hydro next (April), their gear is top notch and the price is WAY better than what i paid for my current setup....
If you have one 120x120x200cm grow tent.
Will you pick two pcs SP250 or one TS3000 for it?
Tell me so I can buy it and replace 1000 hps lights
