Did you always run that way or was there a reason to bring the two together?

What ya using for your 4x4 grow?

I can't spend $700 on a light so I'm hoping to get some budget suggestions

Mars hydro fc4800

 

[TheHouseOfGreen420]

I run 2 mars hydro fc4800 - no burning smell, or over heating, real nice fat juicy and snowy buds is all I get. it's not just the light its making sure your whole room is dialed in.

1 will do a 4x4 fine, other option is spider farmer se 5000

yeah the HLG is a better product but it depends if you have the budget.

Four TS1000s, gives me up to 600w and as I have 4 of them I get better control over my lighting.

You mount the driver outside?

I run it that way in the cooler months for the extra IR, and switch to LED only in the warmer months.

 

[HydroKid239]

$549 isn't terrible for 480w is it? Also you don't have any issues with overheating or burning smell? Thats the one complaint ive seen posted about mars-hydro products.

You mount the driver outside?

Yes, on top of the tent with my exhaust keeping the driver cool to the touch.

Where'd ya get that rack to elevate it off the canvas?

 

[DrDukePHD]

I decided on one FC4800. Is it ok to order it from Amazon or should you order direct from website?
