FAQs

What are the ideal coverage areas for this light?+

The FC-E 6500 is designed for a core coverage area of 4'x4' for flowering plants, where it delivers the highest light intensity. For vegetative growth, it can effectively cover a maximum area of 5'x5'.

Is this light suitable for both veg and flower stages?+

Absolutely. The full-spectrum output provides all the necessary light wavelengths for the entire plant life cycle. The built-in dimmer allows you to reduce intensity for seedlings and clones, and gradually increase it as your plants grow into the vegetative and flowering phases.

Can I connect multiple FC-E 6500 lights together?+

Yes, the FC-E 6500 features a daisy-chain function that allows you to connect and control up to 30 lights simultaneously from a single master light. This is ideal for simplifying controls in larger grow rooms or commercial setups.

What makes this light 'cost-effective'?+

The 'cost-effective' design focuses on delivering high-end performance metrics, like a 2.8 µmol/J PPE, using reliable BridgeLux diodes. This provides growers with exceptional light output and efficiency that rivals more expensive brands, offering a faster return on investment through energy savings and impressive yields.

Why should I switch from HPS to an LED like this?+

Switching from traditional HPS lights to an advanced LED like the FC-E 6500 offers significant benefits. LEDs run much cooler, reducing the need for extensive cooling equipment, and they consume far less electricity for the same amount of light output. You can learn more about the reasons to switch from HPS to LED in our detailed guide.

What other models are in the Mars Hydro FC-E series?+

The FC-E series offers a range of sizes to fit different grow spaces. If you need less power, consider the Mars Hydro FC-E 4800. For larger areas requiring more intensity, the Mars Hydro FC-E 8000 is an excellent choice.
