The Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO LED Grow Light. 

If you’re working with a limited grow space but still want to maximize yields, the Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO LED Grow Light is exactly what you need. This little beast is the latest addition to Mars Hydro’s flagship EVO line, packing all the premium features of its bigger siblings into a compact, budget-friendly unit. With 150 watts of power, Samsung LM301H EVO diodes, and smart control via the optional iConnect system, this light delivers top-tier performance for small-scale growers, without burning a hole in your pocket.

A Compact Powerhouse

Don’t let the modest size fool you - the Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO packs a serious punch. With 150w of full-spectrum lighting, it’s tailor-made for small grow tents, like a 2'x2' space (perfect for 1 to 3 fruiting plants). Even though it's a smaller unit, the Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO maintains the same high PPE (photosynthetic photon efficacy) as the larger models, boasting 2.85 umol/j - every watt is optimized for plant growth. Plus, with a PPF of 427.5 umol/s, this LED light provides intense light penetration and even coverage across your grow area. For small indoor setups, it’s like having the sun on tap - but at a fraction of the cost and energy use of traditional HID or HPS lights.

Built For Performance

What really sets the Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO apart from the competition is the use of Samsung LM301H EVO diodes, known for their exceptional efficiency and reliability. These aren’t your average diodes - they’re horticultural grade and specially built for botanical and resin-producing plants. They deliver a full spectrum of light, hitting the sweet spots of both blue and red wavelengths that plants need to thrive at every stage. The blue light promotes lush vegetative growth, while the red light boosts flowering and flavour development. With these diodes, you’re not just growing plants - you’re optimising their potential from seedling to harvest. 

Edge to Edge Performance

One of the common problems with budget grow lights is uneven coverage, leading to hotspots that can damage your plants or under-lit corners that stunt growth. That’s not an issue with the FC1500 EVO. Mars Hydro has engineered the light bars with an optimized diode layout, ensuring uniform light distribution across the entire grow area. Whether you’re growing in a small tent, cabinet, or shelf setup, you won’t have to worry about uneven growth or wasted space. Every inch of your grow area is bathed in the perfect light intensity, ensuring a healthy, vigorous grow from corner to corner. Bravo Mars Hydro. 

Exceptional Heat Dissipation 

When it comes to running a high-intensity light in a small space, heat can be your worst enemy. Mars Hydro has tackled this problem with their wave-shaped aluminium heat sinks and spaced light bar design, which promotes passive cooling. The result? You get powerful light output without turning your grow tent into a sauna. No need to worry about your plants overheating or your ventilation system working overtime. The Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO runs cool, which not only keeps your plants happy but also extends the lifespan of the diodes, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.

 

Smart Control With Mars Hydro iConnect

One of our favorite features of the FC1500 EVO is its smart control capabilities made possible through the Mars Hydro iConnect system. This optional controller transforms the LED Grow Light into a fully automated system that you can manage remotely through your smartphone or tablet. Whether you're at home or halfway across the world, you can adjust light intensity, set custom schedules, or monitor your grow room's environment with ease.

The iConnect app offers a suite of controls, including sunrise and sunset simulations, light cycle automation and auto-dimming. You can fine-tune your grow light’s intensity down to the minute, which is ideal for growers looking to replicate natural growing conditions as closely as possible. The app also supports daisy-chaining, allowing you to control up to 30 lights from a single device - a feature that’s invaluable for large-scale grows.

The Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO also supports OTA (Over The Air) updates, ensuring that your system is always up to date with the latest features and improvements, without the need for any manual intervention. It’s a professional-grade control system that’s just as useful for home growers looking for convenience as it is for commercial operations needing precise control over multiple grow rooms.  

Energy Efficiency & Cost Effective Operation. 

Let’s talk numbers. The Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO is a master of energy efficiency. With a power draw of just 150W, this light cuts down on electricity costs while delivering high-intensity light output. If you’re concerned about your energy bill, you’ll love the fact that this light can help you grow more while spending less. In fact, Mars Hydro claims that the FC1500 EVO can push yields up to 3.0 grams per watt - a level of efficiency that’s hard to match at this price point. 

 

Plug & Play Operation with Top Notch Build Quality

Setting up the FC1500 EVO is a breeze. It comes fully assembled, and its compact size makes it super easy to install - even in tight spaces like small grow tents or closet grows. The dimmable driver gives you precise control over light intensity, and the detachable driver with a 2-meter extension cord allows you to place it outside the grow tent for even better temperature control. The build quality is robust and reliable, with IP65 waterproofing and a 5-year warranty that ensures long-term peace of mind.

 

Full Spectrum For Maximum Growth

The Mars Hydro FC1500 EVO is designed to support all stages of plant growth with its full-spectrum output, which includes everything from 660-665nm red light for flowering to 4800-5000K blue light for vegetative growth. This wide spectrum mimics natural sunlight, ensuring your plants get everything they need for healthy, rapid development. Whether you're growing leafy greens, herbs, or flowering plants, this light has the perfect blend of wavelengths to deliver a bountiful harvest.
