The Mars Hydro® FC 4800 Smart 480W LED Grow Light (Bridgelux Diode Edition) is a commercial-grade 4-bar LED fixture engineered for medium-to-large grow tents, commercial vertical racking, and dense canopy cultivation. Consuming 480 watts of real power, this high-performance light delivers a photon flux output of 1,368 µmol/s at a photon efficacy of 2.85 µmol/J. Designed to replace traditional 800W single-ended or DE HPS/MH lamps, it significantly cuts electrical costs and thermal output while providing edge-to-edge PAR distribution across a 5' x 5' vegetative or 4' x 4' flowering footprint.

Key Features

• Commercial-Grade 480W Output: Generates 1,368 µmol/s PPF at 2.85 µmol/J efficacy to deliver deep canopy PAR penetration.

• 800W HPS Replacement: Consumes only 480W while outperforming traditional 800W HID systems in light uniformity and temperature management.

• Smart Mobile App Automation: Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow remote dimming control, custom schedule creation, and group management via the Mars Hydro app.

• Cost-Effective Bridgelux Diodes: Formulated with high-grade Bridgelux 3030 white LEDs and 660–665nm deep red diodes for full-cycle plant response.

 

• Uniform 4x4 Flowering Coverage: Multi-bar arrangement ensures balanced PPFD across 5' × 5' vegetative or 4' × 4' flowering areas without hotspots.

 

• Silent Passive Thermal Control: Heavy-duty aluminum heat sink frame dissipates heat efficiently without noisy cooling fans (0 dB operation).

 

• IP65 Water & Dust Rating: Protective clear glue coating shields diodes against moisture, direct water spray, and high humidity inside grow rooms.

Equipped with high-output Bridgelux 3030 white LEDs and 660–665nm deep red diodes, the FC 4800 Smart emits a sunlike, full-phase spectrum that accelerates vegetative growth and boosts flower density. Built with a thick aluminum heat sink frame for passive fanless heat dissipation, IP65 clear glue diode waterproofing, integrated Bluetooth/Wi-Fi smart app automation, manual step-less dimming (10%–100%), and RJ port daisy-chain compatibility, it offers versatile control for commercial facilities and home setups alike.
