The Mars Hydro® FC 3000 300W LED Grow Light (Bridgelux Diode Edition) is a budget-friendly, high-efficiency 4-bar LED grow light engineered for small grow tents, vertical racks, and personal cultivation spaces. Operating at a power draw of 300 watts, this fixture generates a photon flux output of 855 µmol/s at a photon efficacy of 2.85 µmol/J. Designed as an energy-efficient alternative to traditional 600W single-ended HPS/MH lighting systems, it delivers uniform light coverage across a 3.5' x 3.5' vegetative or 3' x 3' flowering footprint while minimizing operational power costs and ambient heat buildup.

Key Features

• High Efficacy Bar Architecture: Delivers 855 µmol/s PPF at an efficacy of 2.85 µmol/J for high PPFD levels with low electricity draw.

• 600W HPS/MH Alternative: Draws only 300W while producing photon density comparable to legacy 600W HID lighting systems.

• Cost-Effective Bridgelux Diodes: Powered by high-output Bridgelux 3030 white chips paired with 660nm deep red LEDs for full seed-to-harvest performance.

• Sunlike Full Spectrum: Emits a balanced light spectrum (2800K–3000K, 4800K–5000K, 660–665nm) to accelerate vegetative growth and floral mass.

• Uniform 3x3 Canopy Coverage: Multi-bar design distributes light evenly across 3.5' × 3.5' vegetative or 3' × 3' flowering canopies without localized hot spots.

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

• IP65 Water Resistance & Dimming: Protective clear glue coating guards against moisture and humidity, while an onboard dimmer knob enables 10%–100% output control.

 

Equipped with high-performance Bridgelux 3030 white LEDs and upgraded 660–665nm deep red diodes, the FC 3000 Bridgelux Edition emits a sunlike full spectrum to support vigorous plant expansion and heavy flower production. Built with a heavy-duty aluminum heat sink frame for silent passive cooling, IP65 waterproof diode protection, manual step-less dimming (10%–100%), and RJ port daisy-chain compatibility, it provides robust and cost-effective lighting for home and commercial growers alike.
