Why isn't this the perfect light for budget grow?

I have two already I like them... a Lil warm for a led imo. But they are way cooler than mh. And they are on eBay cheaper. image.jpg

I don't see any infrared diodes. If you're lighting a single ~3ft tall plant that light would probably be fine.

Are those not 2 Mars Hydro in your pic? And they seem same exact price on ebay, no?

Seeing as people were wondering... there is a single uv led in the center of the board. Rather it’s enough or not I can’t say. But it seems to be doing fine so far. And at the least it would be a great light for a clone or young plant cabinet or closet.

These are quite similar.... but those have a external driver. The Mars lights do not. It’s a all in one light. Very thin.

The question is, how much stuff do they lie about in that listing? I guarantee you that it does not have the advertised 2.9 umol/J efficacy.

Also their "High PPFD" number of 1020 umol/sq meter is very misleading.

I have a few Mars lights (5) and I just bought my first viparspectra light and installed it two days ago. The Mars lights I have are the tsl 2000 (3) and two of the 1000s. I’m on my second flower with the Mars lights. And I am satisfied with the turnover.
