Point here isnt about pointing fingers at any one brand. But its a good idea to look at what kind of parts have given problems which led to fire hazard. In Mars defense: ive not seen any of them causing a fire. But i have seen more than one of their speed connectors burn, those that have a few pins and with a screw mechanism for water proofing. Didnt light the tent up but who wants the risk. Point against Mars: when you tag them in a thread regarding issues, some times safety related, some times just re shitty marketing, photoshopped plants in marketing etc you usually get crickets.That can literally be said of ANY brand light
User error, most of the time
Point in favor of Mars: they seem to be improving, both their lights and them answering.
But theres been people ordering a light in the EU, light arrives broken, and then Mars telling them they need to shipp it back to china for them to send out a new light. Shipping to china is more than a new light. But i believe it was fixed by posting here re the issue. So its a mixed bag, with movement in the right direction. Engaging with sellers in a forum seems to further everyone.
Point is in general life lives in the grey zone, the black and white approach is usually not the right one. Probably a sign of our times, we prefer just to stick to us and them approaches.
But no amount of talking against or for a light will change how the light hanging in your tent is working.
Ps i might be mixing up some Mars happenings with spiderfarmer, to me theyre all the same pretty much
