Mars Hydro TS 1000: What to Know
Per Mars Hydro's own product description, the TS 1000 draws 150W plus or minus 5% at AC100-277V, with a core coverage of 2x2 ft and a maximum coverage of 2.5x2.5 ft. It lists PPF at 343 umol/S and PPE at 2.3 umol/J, uses BridgeLux chips, and spans a spectrum of 660-665nm, 730-740nm, 3000-3200K and 6000-6500K. Those are unusually specific numbers for this price class, which is why it earns a spec-transparency nod here.
The same description states a max yield of 2.0g/W, a 50,000-hour lifespan and a 5-year warranty, and says the fixture is mounted with 354 chips. Mars Hydro positions it as a replacement for a 250W HPS light while reducing power draw by roughly 40% - a manufacturer claim, not an independent measurement.
