The Mars Hydro® FC-E6500 730W Commercial LED Grow Light (BridgeLux Edition) is a high-output, commercial-grade multi-bar LED grow light engineered for 5' x 5' grow tents, commercial cultivation facilities, and CO2-supplemented indoor grow rooms. Drawing 730 watts of real power, this 6-bar fixture produces a massive photon flux output of 2,044 µmol/s at an efficacy of 2.8 µmol/J. Designed as an energy-efficient replacement for traditional 1000W DE HPS fixtures, it significantly reduces electricity consumption and HVAC thermal load while delivering uniform light intensity across a 6' x 6' vegetative or 5' x 5' flowering footprint.

 

Key Features

• High Commercial Output: Generates 2,044 µmol/s PPF at 2.8 µmol/J efficacy to deliver deep PAR canopy penetration in dense, high-yield setups.

 

• 1000W DE HPS Replacement: Consumes only 730W while matching or exceeding the total light output and footprint coverage of legacy 1000W double-ended HPS lamps.

 

• Removable & Adjustable Light Bars: Modular bar layout allows growers to adjust light spacing for specific footprints or replace individual components effortlessly.

 

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

 

• Uniform 5x5 Flowering Coverage: Multi-bar design eliminates center hot spots and corner shadows across 6' × 6' vegetative or 5' × 5' flowering spaces.

 

• 180° Foldable Passive Thermal Design: Heavy-duty aluminum heat sinks dissipate thermal load silently without mechanical fans (0 dB), while the foldable frame simplifies transport and installation.

 

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

 

Equipped with high-performance BridgeLux 2835 white diodes and 660–665nm deep red LEDs mounted on detachable, customizable light bars, the FC-E6500 allows growers to configure bar spacing for precise canopy distribution. Built with a foldable 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 commercial-tier performance and versatility at a competitive price point.
