Mars Hydro FC EVO Series installed with best-selling Samsung LM301H EVO diodes, built to industry-leading designs and project research, provide the market-leading efficacy of 2.85 umol/j and a 30% higher average PPFD, promising a big yield of 3.5 grams per watt, and increase production by 50% compared with old blurple and HPS lights. FC Series is the best light line of Mars Hydro LED growing lights.
Mars Hydro LED indoor grow lights are designed to be energy-efficient compared to traditional lighting sources. They utilize LED technology, which consumes less power while providing high-intensity light output. This efficiency helps reduce electricity costs and minimizes heat generation, allowing growers to maintain optimal growing conditions without excessive energy consumption.
This unique spectrum blend of the FC 1500-EVO contains a precise combination of blue and red light to promote optimal plant growth. The Blue light stimulates vegetative growth and supports the accumulation of essential phytochemicals, while the abundant Red light accelerates the maturation process and improves the overall quality of buds and flowers produced by the plants.
Mars Hydro FC Series has a large aluminum heat sink with a certain space between the individual light bars to dissipate heat.
Spectral Characteristics
- Full-spectrum Coverage: FC1500 provides full-spectrum lighting in the range of 660-665nm 2800-3000K 4800-5000K, including the main wavelength bands such as blue light and red light required for plant photosynthesis, as well as other wavelengths of light beneficial to plant growth. It can meet the needs of plants at different growth stages.
- Precise Light Quality Ratio: Through a scientific light quality ratio, FC1500 simulates the influence of natural sunlight on plants. Among them, blue light is helpful for the growth of plant leaves and the synthesis of chlorophyll, making the plants stronger; red light plays a key role in the flowering and fruiting process of plants, promoting flower bud differentiation and fruit development.
- Precise Light Quality Ratio with Samsung LED Beads: Mars Hydro FC1500 uses high - quality Samsung LED beads, which are known for their accurate light emission. Samsung LED beads can precisely emit light in different wavelengths according to the preset ratio.In the 3030 series of Samsung LEDs used in this grow light, the lm301h model can offer a high - efficiency light output in the wavelengths most needed by plants. This ensures that plants receive the optimal light quality for various physiological processes, such as photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, and nutrient uptake.
Light Intensity and Uniformity
- High - brightness Output: The Mars Hydro FC1500 is equipped with a powerful lighting system that delivers a high luminous flux and intense light. This abundant light supply is sufficient to meet the energy requirements of plants. The use of Samsung LED beads contributes to this high - brightness output. Samsung's advanced semiconductor technology enables the beads to emit light with high intensity while maintaining energy efficiency. As a result, plants can carry out photosynthesis more effectively, leading to accelerated growth and development.
- Uniform Light Distribution: With special optical design and the layout of Samsung LED beads, the FC1500 achieves an even distribution of light across the plant canopy. The unique shape and arrangement of Samsung LED beads help scatter light uniformly, eliminating hotspots and ensuring that every part of the plant receives an equal amount of light. This uniform illumination is crucial for consistent plant growth, preventing issues such as uneven development or stretching due to inconsistent light exposure.
- Adjustable Light Intensity: The FC1500 comes with a convenient dimming feature that allows users to fine - tune the light intensity according to the specific needs of their plants. Whether it's a delicate seedling stage or a more mature growth phase, the light intensity can be easily adjusted. The Samsung LED beads respond well to these adjustments, maintaining their high - quality light output at different intensity levels. For example, when plants are in the vegetative stage, a lower light intensity might be sufficient, and the dimming function enables the user to set the appropriate level while still benefiting from the excellent light quality of Samsung LEDs.
Energy Conservation and Efficiency
- High Light Efficiency and Energy Saving: Incorporating Samsung LED technology, the FC1500 has a remarkable electro - optical conversion efficiency. Samsung LED beads are designed to convert electrical energy into light energy with minimal waste.Compared to traditional grow lights, the power consumption of the FC1500 is significantly reduced while still providing intense illumination. This not only cuts down on electricity costs but also makes it an environmentally friendly choice for indoor gardening.
- Low Heat Generation Design: During operation, the Mars Hydro FC1500 generates relatively little heat, which is in part due to the efficient heat - dissipation properties of Samsung LED beads. These beads are engineered to dissipate heat effectively, reducing the overall heat output of the grow light. This is beneficial as it lessens the impact on the ambient temperature of the growing environment, minimizing the need for additional cooling systems. Moreover, it protects plants from potential heat damage, especially when placed in close proximity to the light source. This makes the FC1500 suitable for use in multi - layer vertical growing systems where heat management is crucial.
Quality and Durability
- High - quality Materials with Samsung Diodes: The Mars Hydro FC1500 is constructed with top - notch components, and the Samsung LED beads are a prime example. Samsung is renowned for its strict quality control in manufacturing LED products. The beads used in the FC1500 are made from high - grade semiconductor materials that ensure stable performance over time. They are resistant to factors such as voltage fluctuations and temperature changes, reducing the likelihood of premature failure.
- Long Service Life: The use of Samsung LED beads contributes to the extended lifespan of the Mars Hydro FC1500. Samsung LED beads are designed to have a long operational life, often reaching up to 50,000 hours or more. This means that growers can rely on the consistent performance of the grow light for an extended period without the need for frequent replacements. The long lifespan not only saves costs associated with purchasing new lights but also provides stability in the growth environment for plants, as there is no disruption in light supply due to light failure.
Intelligent Control Functions
- Programmable Light Cycles: With MarsPro app, smart FC1500 allows growers to set specific light cycles for their plants. This feature automates the process of turning the lights on and off at precise intervals, simulating natural day and night cycles. It helps maintain consistent light schedules without manual intervention.
Remote Control and Monitoring: Mars Hydro smart FC1500 LED grow lights can be controlled remotely using MarsHydro app. This feature allows growers to adjust settings, and monitor the light’s performance from a distance. It provides convenience and flexibility, especially for growers who cannot be physically present in the grow area at all times.

Nichole Jones –
this grow light is great. put out a lot of light . the plants love it. I had bought some other ones that does not put out as much light as this.
KRC –
Very pleased with the light. It was packaged well and functions as it should. I would do business with this company again.
