The Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO. The Ferrari Of Grow Lights

When it comes to premium LED Grow Lights, Mars Hydro’s FC series always sets a high standard - and the FC8000 EVO LED is no exception. Featuring a massive 800w output, top-of-the-range Samsung diodes and smart control features via the new iConnect system, this ultra flagship grow light is designed for serious home cultivators and commercial growers alike. The Mars Hydro FC8000 truly is exceptional in terms of power, build quality and advanced control features.

 

Massive 800w Power & Pure Efficiency

The Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO takes 800w of raw power and converts it into a lush, dense jungle of heavy, highly aromatic and resin-rich flowers. The FC8000 and its plentiful footprint confidently 5x5 ft grow space - making it a perfect fit for personal grow tent cultivators and commercial setups. The LED Grow Light fixture features a breathtaking photosynthetic photon efficacy (PPE) of over 2.9 umol/j, ensuring that every watt used is maximised for flavourful plant growth. With a monsterous PPF of 2424 umol/s, the Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO bathes your plants with precision light spectra to enable deep canopy penetration and even coverage from corner to corner. This is the kind of efficiency and power that most growers can only dream of.

 

Premium Quality Samsung EVO Diodes

At the core of the Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO is an array of nearly 3000 Samsung LM301H EVO diodes, widely regarded as the best in the business for horticultural lighting. These diodes are designed specifically for growing aromatic and resin-producing flowers, offering a mind blowing efficacy of 3.14 umol/j per diode. The Mars Hydro FC8000’s unique spectrum blends a generous helping of red and blue light for advanced photosynthesis, alongside a mint green light for deep canopy penetration. If you’re looking dense, heavy and resin-rich flowers - this spectrum has you covered.

Another thing that sets the Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO apart from other LED Grow Lights - is its unique diode layout. Mars Hydro has arranged the chips in a scientifically optimized pattern across the fixture’s eight light bars. This LED Grow Light ensures uniform light distribution with absolutely no hotspots and even light coverage across the entire grow area. The PPFD values for this light are truly remarkable too - expect well over 1,100 μmol/m²/s across the entire 5x5 ft coverage area, with peaks of 2427 umol/m²/s, ensuring that every inch of your grow space is utilised to its full potential.

 

Build Quality That Lasts

Mars Hydro’s FC series is renowned for its premium construction, and the FC8000 EVO doesn’t disappoint at all. It features a super robust, lightweight aluminium frame with wave-shaped heat sinks for ultra efficient passive cooling. The six bar design is not only effective for heat dissipation but also easy to handle and install. The 800w driver is detachable and comes with a generous 2-meter extension cable, allowing you to mount it outside the grow tent to further manage temperatures. Perfect for those tricky summer months. 

This build quality isn’t just about durability; it also enhances the light’s performance. By reducing operating temperatures, the Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO ensures stable performance and extends the lifespan of the diodes, giving you up to 50,000 hours of use.

Smart Control With Mars Hydro iConnect

One of the standout features of the FC8000 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 and set custom schedules 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 FC8000 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.  

 

Exceptional Heat Management

With the FC8000 EVO boasting all that power, most growers could think that heat could be a concern, but Mars Hydro has you covered with the FC8000 EVO’s advanced heat dissipation design. The fixture features a wave-shaped heat sink that increases surface area for better passive cooling, while the multi-bar design creates space between each LED light bar to prevent overheating. The detachable driver also allows for remote placement, reducing the amount of heat inside your grow tent and making it easier to maintain optimal growing conditions.

Despite its powerful 800w output, the Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO operates cool and quiet, with no need for fans or additional cooling systems. This helps keep your grow space at the right temperature without putting extra strain on your ventilation system, ensuring your plants remain stress-free and productive.

 

Energy Efficient & Cost Effective

Efficiency is a major factor when choosing an LED Grow Light, and the Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO is a true marvel in this area. With blistering a PPE of 2.9 umol/j, it delivers excellent light output while keeping energy costs manageable. For growers conscious of their electricity bills, the FC8000 EVO offers a fantastic balance between power and efficiency. Mars Hydro proudly boast that the FC8000 EVO can produce yields of up to 3 grams of flowers per watt. So, with its monstrous output of 800w, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO is an investment that pays for itself within just weeks of operation, making it a highly productive option for those looking to maximize their return on investment as fast as possible.

Full Spectrum Output for Big Flavours

The Mars Hydro FC8000 EVO’s full-spectrum output ensures that your plants get exactly the right kind of light for each stage of growth. It offers an optimal balance of blue and red light, with an additional mint green light for full canopy penetration. The blue light supports vegetative growth, while the red light helps speed up the flowering process and boosts the density and quality of your buds. This sunlike spectrum is particularly beneficial for indoor growers looking for heavy yields and bold flavours.
