The Mars Hydro® FC-E3000 300W LED Grow Light (BridgeLux Edition) is a cost-effective, high-efficiency multi-bar LED grow light designed for small grow tents, vertical racking systems, and personal home cultivation setups. Drawing 300 watts of real power, this 4-bar fixture produces a photon flux output of 832 µmol/s at an efficacy of 2.8 µmol/J. Built as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional 600W single-ended HPS/MH lighting systems, it delivers uniform PAR coverage across a 3.5' x 3.5' vegetative or 3' x 3' flowering footprint.

 

Key Features

• High Efficacy Output: Generates 832 µmol/s PPF at 2.8 µmol/J efficacy, providing high photon density with minimal heat output and lower electricity costs.

 

• 600W HPS/MH Replacement: Consumes only 300W while matching the photon density and performance of legacy 600W single-ended HID fixtures.

 

• Removable & Adjustable Light Bars: Modular bar construction allows growers to adjust light layout spacing for tailored canopy distribution or replace individual components easily.

 

• Sunlike Full Spectrum: Blends BridgeLux white LEDs (2800K–3000K, 4800K–5000K) with 660–665nm deep red diodes for full seed-to-harvest plant development.

 

• Uniform 3x3 Flowering Coverage: 4-bar multi-bar layout eliminates center hot spots and corner drop-offs across 3.5' × 3.5' vegetative or 3' × 3' flowering footprints.

 

• Silent Passive Cooling: Heavy-duty aluminum heat sinks dissipate thermal output efficiently without mechanical cooling fans (0 dB operation).

 

• Daisy-Chain & Dimming Control: Includes an onboard rotary dimmer knob (10%–100%) and dual RJ ports to chain up to 30 fixtures under a master controller.

 

Equipped with high-output BridgeLux 2835 white diodes and 660–665nm deep red LEDs mounted on detachable, fully adjustable light bars, the FC-E3000 allows growers to customize bar spacing for precise canopy coverage. Built with a thick aluminum heat sink frame for silent passive cooling, IP65 waterproof clear glue diode protection, manual step-less dimming (10%–100%), and RJ port daisy-chain compatibility, it offers versatile performance for budget-conscious growers.
