Samsung LM301H EVO LEDs

The Mars Hydro Smart FC 4800 EVO uses premium Samsung LM301H EVO LEDs, one of the most efficient and reliable chips on the market. These LEDs deliver high photon output per diode, consistent color temperature, and low lumen degradation over time. Through strict binning and quality control, the module offers even light distribution, better PAR penetration into the canopy, and longer life compared to cheaper LEDs, resulting in stable yields and less replacement and maintenance.

480-watt consumption

The Mars Hydro FC-4800 EVO consumes 480 watts, suitable for standard AC 220–277V mains voltages, making it easy to use in European and international environments. This power provides strong light output without excessive power consumption, ideal for compact to medium-sized grow rooms. Thanks to its efficient design and fanless aluminum frame, heat dissipation remains effective, allowing the system to function reliably in continuous use without the need for additional cooling equipment.

Efficiency 2.85 µmol/J

The Mars Hydro Smart FC-4800 offers high efficiency of approximately 2.85 µmol/J, which indicates how many photosynthetically active photons are generated per joule consumed. This PPE value translates into powerful PPF output and a favorable ratio between light output and energy consumption, enabling growers to achieve lower operating costs. With this efficiency, the FC-4800 is designed to promote maximum crop yield without unnecessary energy loss.

Spectrum: Full spectrum

The spectrum of the Mars Hydro Smart FC-4800 is composed to support both vegetative growth and flowering, with a balance of blue, red, and supplemental wavelengths that promote flower development and root stimulation. This plant-friendly spectrum optimizes photosynthesis and metabolic reactions by delivering critical wavelengths to which plants are most sensitive. The integrated spectrum tuning ensures improved leaf health, compact growth forms, and increased yield quality.

Smart control via iConnect

The Mars Hydro Smart FC-4800 features smart control that allows growers to precisely control light intensity, timers, and schedules, often via an app or built-in controller. This smart functionality makes it possible to automatically adjust growth cycles, create dimming profiles, and optimize energy management. With smart control, users can adjust the lighting duration and spectrum for each phase, resulting in precision control of plant development and easier management of multiple units.
