The Mars Hydro® FC 8000 Smart 800W Commercial LED Grow Light (Bridgelux Diode Edition) is an ultra-high-output, commercial-grade 8-bar LED fixture engineered for commercial indoor facilities, vertical racks, and CO2-supplemented grow rooms requiring maximum PAR intensity. Drawing 800 watts of real power, this flagship multi-bar system produces an impressive photon flux output of 2,280 µmol/s at a photon efficacy of 2.85 µmol/J. Designed as a direct energy-efficient replacement for 1000W–1200W double-ended (DE) HPS lamps, it provides uniform light distribution across a 6' x 6' vegetative or 5' x 5' flowering footprint.

 

Key Features

• Flagship 800W Commercial PPF: Generates 2,280 µmol/s PPF at 2.85 µmol/J efficacy to deliver maximum photon saturation in high-yield, CO2-supplemented environments.

 

• 1000W–1200W DE HPS Replacement: Consumes only 800W while outperforming legacy double-ended HPS systems in light uniformity, spectrum, and thermal management.

 

• Smart App Mobile Automation: Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enable remote dimming control, custom light schedules, sunrise/sunset simulation, and multi-unit group control via the Mars Hydro app.

 

• Cost-Effective Bridgelux Diodes: Formulated with high-efficiency Bridgelux 3030 white LEDs and 660–665nm deep red diodes for full seed-to-harvest plant development.

 

• Uniform 5x5 Canopy Coverage: 8-bar arrangement eliminates hot spots and ensures edge-to-edge PAR distribution over 6' × 6' vegetative or 5' × 5' flowering spaces.

 

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

 

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

 

Equipped with high-performance Bridgelux 3030 white LEDs and 660–665nm deep red diodes, the FC 8000 Smart delivers a full-spectrum light output that drives photosynthesis and boosts terpene production during flower development. Built with a 180° foldable aluminum frame for easy handling, passive fanless thermal management, 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 high efficiency and control for large-scale operations.
