Mars Hydro FC-1000W EVO LED Grow Light

Mars Hydro FC1000W EVO is a professional LED grow light that combines power, efficiency, and reliability for serious hobbyists and commercial growers. With a rated power of 1000 watts, this unit delivers deep light penetration and stable output; thanks to a high PPE of 2.9 µmol/J, much of the energy is effectively converted into usable photosynthetic light, maximizing the yield per watt. The FC1000W uses premium Samsung LM301H EVO chips for excellent lumen maintenance and long life. With a maximum coverage of approximately 150×150 cm, it is ideal for larger grow rooms where uniform lighting and high yields are essential.

Samsung LM301H EVO LED chip

The Mars Hydro FC1000W EVO uses premium Samsung LM301H EVO LED chips known for high lumen maintenance, tight binning, and low degradation over long periods of use. These LEDs maintain color consistency and efficiency under load and deliver even PAR distribution without hotspots over larger areas. The high-quality chips in the Mars Hydro FC1000W EVO also contribute to better heat resistance and consistent performance during longer operating times, resulting in fewer replacements and more reliable yields.

Power 1000 W

The power consumption of the Mars Hydro FC1000W EVO is approximately 1000 watts ±5%, which means that the lamp can draw approximately 950–1050 watts from the mains depending on tolerances and settings. This strong power draw provides deep light penetration and high PPFD values, suitable for large grow rooms and dense foliage. The Mars Hydro FC1000W EVO is designed with efficient drivers and cooling to maintain stable power; proper installation and ventilation maximize performance and lifespan.

Efficiency 2.9 µmol/J

The Mars Hydro FC1000W EVO has a PPE of 2.9 µmol/J, which indicates how many usable photosynthetic photons are produced per joule of power consumed. At a power consumption of around 1000 W, this provides an estimated PPF of approximately 2900 µmol/s, which means high photon output per watt compared to older HPS or less efficient LED systems. This efficiency translates into lower energy costs per gram of yield and better light utilization in dense crops, making the Mars Hydro FC1000W EVO attractive to serious hobbyists and commercial growers focused on ROI and cost efficiency.

Full PAR/UV/IR spectrum

The Mars Hydro Smart FC1000W EVO offers a full-spectrum, balanced, photosynthetically focused spectrum that is highly optimized within the PAR range and includes additional UV and IR components to stimulate secondary metabolites and flower development. This spectrum supports both vegetative growth and the flowering phase by delivering targeted energy in blue, red, and deep red/far-red bands, and improves color and flavor profiles in crops through the controlled presence of UV-A and near-IR wavelengths.

Smart control via iConnect

The Mars Hydro Smart FC1000W EVO is compatible with the optional MarsHydro iConnect smart control, which allows growers to easily program and manage the lamp via an app or controller. Features such as dimming, schedules, multiple presets, and group management allow light profiles to be optimized for different growth stages. iConnect simplifies scaling to multiple units and increases user-friendliness through remote control and organized automation.
