Mars Hydro FC-E 1500 Full Spectrum LED Grow Light

The Mars Hydro FC-E 1500 is the solution, delivering exceptional efficiency and a tailored light spectrum to maximize your yields and crop quality. Engineered for home growers and compact veg rooms, this fixture offers professional-grade results without the high operational cost.

Powered by high-quality BridgeLux chips, the FC-E 1500 achieves a remarkable PPE of 2.8 µmol/J while only drawing 150 watts. Its innovative design ensures deep canopy penetration and uniform light distribution across a 2'x2' flowering or 3'x3' vegetative area. The exclusive Yield Max spectrum provides the ideal wavelengths to drive photosynthesis, promoting robust and healthy plant growth from seed to harvest. For growers looking for a similar entry-level fixture, the Mars Hydro TS 1000 is another excellent choice in the Mars Hydro lineup.

Managing your grow environment is simple thanks to its wave-shaped heat sink for passive, silent cooling and a built-in dimmer for precise light control.

FAQs

What are the ideal coverage areas for the FC-E 1500?+

The FC-E 1500 is optimized for a 2' x 2' flowering footprint and a 3' x 3' vegetative footprint. It pairs perfectly with our selection of 2x2 grow tents for a complete, efficient setup.

Can I connect multiple FC-E 1500 lights together?+

Yes, you can. The FC-E 1500 supports daisy-chaining, allowing you to connect and control up to 30 lights simultaneously from a single master light. This feature makes it easy to scale your operation as your needs grow.

How efficient is this grow light?+

This light is highly efficient, boasting a Photon Efficacy (PPE) of 2.8 µmol/J. This means it converts electricity into usable light for your plants very effectively, leading to lower energy bills and better growth. The switch to efficient LEDs is one of the best upgrades a grower can make, and you can learn more about the reasons to switch from HPS to LED on our blog.

Is this light suitable for all growth stages?+

Absolutely. The FC-E 1500 features a Yield Max full spectrum that provides all the necessary light wavelengths for every stage of plant growth, from seedling and vegetative phases right through to flowering and fruiting.

How does the FC-E series compare to other Mars Hydro models?+

The FC-E series is designed to be a cost-effective line that delivers exceptional value and performance. While it uses the same high-quality design principles as other Mars Hydro lights, it utilizes BridgeLux diodes to provide a more budget-friendly option compared to models with Samsung diodes. For growers needing more power, the Mars Hydro FC-E 3000 is a great next step up in the series.

How do I manage heat from this light?+

Heat management is effortless thanks to the passive cooling design. The multi-bar, wave-shaped aluminum heat sink dissipates heat efficiently without the need for cooling fans, ensuring completely silent operation and reducing the number of potential failure points.
