I still have my first Mars panel, but have since converted it to COB LEDs.. No Mars sticker on it, but I still have the emails from
@MarshydroTina from when it was shipped from China.. I loved the light, but running it almost 20hrs a day for a couple years, diodes burn out and such.. I'm glad I was able to recycle the chassis and not lose the drivers/fans.. I'm considering getting another one and further expanding my area, but with some blurple to enhance the UVA/UVB coverage; not to mention the Mars II come w/ UV LEDs, which is nice..
Still hard to get the same bud density from LED versus HID.. Something I've DEFINITELY noticed over the last couple grows.. There's a place for both lights in the big picture; now it's time to find out what the best blend of spectrums is..
