Mars Hydro FC3000 EVO 300W LED Grow Light | 2.85 μmol/j

Precision Control in Any Space

When the equipment you're running introduces more variables than it solves, every cycle becomes a liability. Inconsistent light distribution creates canopy dead zones where lower sites never reach saturation — and hot centers that stress the tops while the perimeter starves. Fixtures without programmable dimming force manual intervention at every stage transition, compounding labor cost and introducing human error into what should be a repeatable process. Lamp depreciation in HID and lower-grade LED systems means the output you commissioned on day one is not the output you're running on day ninety, and that gap is invisible until it shows up in your harvest weight. The enemy is not a single failure — it is the accumulated cost of equipment that was never designed to hold a number.

After deployment, the canopy picture changes. Every position in the 3x3 footprint receives a calibrated photon dose from a four-bar array engineered to eliminate center hotspots and edge falloff simultaneously. Scheduling runs through the Mars Hydro iConnect app — sunrise ramps, photoperiod transitions, and multi-unit dimming sequences execute without manual touchpoints. There are no lamp replacement intervals to track, no re-lamping labor to budget, and no output degradation curves to compensate for mid-cycle. The fixture holds its output rating across a 50,000-hour operational lifespan, which means the number you set is the number the plant receives, cycle after cycle.

The mechanism behind that consistency is a diode array built on Samsung LM301H EVO chips — the same component specified in premium-tier commercial fixtures — operating at a system efficacy of 2.85 µmol/j. Each individual diode is rated at 3.14 µmol/j, and the four-bar passive cooling architecture distributes thermal load across the fixture surface without fans, eliminating mechanical failure points and the acoustic signature that active cooling introduces. The spectral output combines 660-665nm red for accelerated maturation and improved flower quality, a 2800-3000K warm white channel for red-spectrum density, a 4800-5000K cool white channel delivering blue-spectrum vegetative stimulus and phytochemical accumulation support, and sufficient green content for canopy penetration and balanced plant development. Dimming is continuous from 0-100% via the iConnect app, supporting daisy-chain deployment across multi-unit arrays without additional controllers. In practical terms, the FC3000 EVO delivers 855 µmol/S PPF across a 3x3 coverage footprint at 300W draw, pulling 2.535A at AC120V and generating 1,023 BTU of thermal output managed entirely through passive dissipation.

Where This Belongs (and Doesn't)

Electrical installation must comply with all applicable local codes. Circuit capacity and HVAC load calculations should be verified by a qualified electrician or facility engineer prior to deployment. The FC3000 EVO is rated for AC120-277V input — confirm panel compatibility before commissioning.

How It Works

The FC3000 EVO is a four-bar passive LED array operating at 300W ± 5% across an input voltage range of AC120-277V. The fixture draws 2.535A at AC120V, 1.238A at AC240V, and 1.082A at AC277V — a wide voltage tolerance that accommodates both standard North American residential panels and the 208-277V infrastructure common in licensed commercial facilities. Total thermal output is 1,023 BTU, dissipated through the passive bar-style heatsink architecture with no moving parts and no fan-dependent cooling pathway.

The diode population is built entirely on Samsung LM301H EVO chips, each rated at 3.14 µmol/j individual efficacy. At the system level, the FC3000 EVO achieves 2.85 µmol/j — a figure that places it within the performance band of fixtures sold at significantly higher price points. The four-bar form factor distributes emitters across the full 3x3 footprint, eliminating the center-weighted intensity profile that single-point and blurple fixtures produce. The result is even PPFD delivery that avoids hotspots at the canopy center while maintaining photon density at the perimeter.

Spectral architecture combines four active channels: 660-665nm red, which accelerates maturation and improves flower and bud quality; 2800-3000K warm white, which provides red-spectrum density and broad-band coverage across the lower photosynthetically active range; 4800-5000K cool white, which delivers blue-spectrum output to stimulate vegetative development and support phytochemical accumulation; and a green content component incorporated to ensure canopy penetration and balanced photosynthetic response across all leaf layers. The fixture does not include UV or IR emitters. Dimming is continuous from 0-100% via the Mars Hydro iConnect app, with daisy-chain capability enabling multi-unit scheduling and synchronized photoperiod control across an entire facility array from a single mobile interface. Rated operational lifespan is 50,000 hours. In practical terms, the FC3000 EVO delivers 855 µmol/S PPF across a 3x3 footprint at 300W draw, with a 5-year manufacturer warranty and ETL, CE, UKCA, and RoHS certifications confirming electrical safety and compliance for deployment in licensed U.S. facilities.

System Integration

• iConnect App Control: The FC3000 EVO connects to the Mars Hydro iConnect mobile application, enabling remote dimming (0-100%), photoperiod scheduling, and sunrise/sunset ramp programming from iOS or Android devices.
• Daisy-Chain Scalability: Multiple FC3000 EVO units can be linked in a daisy-chain configuration, allowing synchronized control of multi-unit arrays without additional controllers or hubs — critical for operators scaling room-by-room.
• Wide Voltage Compatibility: AC120-277V input range accommodates standard 120V circuits and commercial 208-240V or 277V panel configurations without voltage conversion hardware.
• Passive Thermal Integration: Zero fan operation means the fixture introduces no additional HVAC load from mechanical heat generation and does not require dedicated cooling airflow positioning around the unit.

Operator Field Note

• Voltage Selection Matters at Scale: Running the FC3000 EVO at AC240V (1.238A) or AC277V (1.082A) rather than AC120V (2.535A) significantly reduces amperage draw per circuit, allowing more units per breaker and reducing wire gauge requirements — a meaningful cost factor in multi-room deployments.
• Passive Cooling Requires Adequate Airflow: While the fixture generates no fan-driven airflow, the bar-style heatsink dissipates 1,023 BTU per unit. Ensure room circulation is sufficient to prevent heat stratification above the canopy, particularly in sealed environments with multiple units running simultaneously.
• Daisy-Chain Limits: Confirm the maximum daisy-chain unit count supported by the iConnect app and Mars Hydro's current firmware before designing large-array control architecture. Controller capacity can affect scheduling reliability at scale.
• No UV or IR Channels: The FC3000 EVO does not include UV or far-red emitters. Operators running protocols that depend on UV-driven secondary metabolite expression or far-red end-of-day signaling will need supplemental fixtures to complete those spectral requirements.
• Foldable Design for Multi-Room Operations: The foldable four-bar form factor reduces packaged dimensions, making it practical to reposition fixtures between rooms during facility reconfiguration without full disassembly — a logistical advantage in facilities that rotate room function by cycle.
• Yield Reference: The manufacturer-stated maximum yield of 3.5g/W is a reference figure under optimized conditions. Actual yield is a function of genetics, environment, nutrition, and cultivation protocol — use this figure as a ceiling benchmark, not a guaranteed output.
