Mars Hydro is dedicated to enhancing the user experience by offering top-tier products at exceptional values. We're thrilled to unveil the 2024 new iteration of FC/FC-E series, designed specifically for discerning indoor gardeners.
What’s New in Detail
1. Enhanced PPFD Uniformity
Leverage cutting-edge LED technology for a consistent and evenly distributed photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) throughout your growing space. This ensures that every plant, at every growth stage—from seedling to flowering—receives the precise light required for optimal development.
2. Foldable Design for Simplified Setup
Our new foldable design streamlines the setup process, eliminating complicated installation steps and enhancing flexibility. This feature is particularly beneficial for large-scale operations, enabling rapid deployment and straightforward storage when not in use.
3. Cost-Efficient New Structure
Discover the financial advantages of our latest models, which begin at a power output of 4800W. These units provide cost savings at least €100 more than earlier versions, delivering significant economic benefits without sacrificing performance. Featuring broader light bars, the redesigned structure guarantees elevated PPFD levels, ensuring your plants get the optimal illumination required for enhanced growth and higher yields, all while cutting down on operational expenses.
4. Dual Lighting Options for Versatile Cultivation
Customize your lighting to align with your cultivation tactics. Select from intelligent and standard lighting options to perfectly match your growth needs. Our intelligent lighting requires an iConnect USB purchase, allowing users to implement their own growth strategies. This system automatically modulates light intensity and adjusts settings based on your predefined parameters, executing tailored lighting sequences for efficient management of your cultivation environment. Meanwhile, the standard lighting option offers a steady and dependable light source, ideal for growers who favor a direct, hands-on approach.
Comparing the New FC/FC-E Series
The FC-E Series serves as a budget-conscious version of the FC series, featuring BridgeLux diodes as a more economical alternative to the premium Samsung diodes found in the FC-EVO Series. The denser diode arrangement in the FC-E Series effectively narrows the efficiency gap, ensuring robust illumination at a lower cost.
Additionally, this series maintains the hallmark uniform lighting of the FC-EVO Series but at a more accessible price, making it an excellent option for those seeking to minimize upfront costs without sacrificing light quality. Suitable for both novice and experienced growers, the FC-E Series delivers outstanding performance for budget-sensitive cultivation endeavors.
