I just bought a telos bro,

The new mars are quite efficient

This feels like deja vu lol. Which one are ya leaning towards?
Maybe a better approach...you know your budget. What features do ya want, that youre able to afford in that budget?
Ts1000 is 150ish watts at the wall, dimmable, and mars hydro is an active vendor here in afn. Not sure about the other choice.
I luv my ts1000 for what it is, budget friendly and plug and play, easy to use. It checked off the boxes i wanted

I'm leaning toward the ts 1k although still looking for reviews on the hipargero 800

So right off the bat 2 things, these lights are def different. The ts1000 is like half that power, a lil more than half.
2nd the ts1000 is passively cooled so no worries about a fan dying during the grow.
Not that thats a bad thing for a light to have a fan but something ya should be aware of. Fans make noise, so if ya need stealth id def lean towards the ts1000

You have a ts1k is it as bright as the hipargero pictured...also hows the penetration?

I dont even know the answer to that, im sure its available somewhere.
Penetration is good, tho its not the best. The trade tho is ya get a really nice spread of light to the top of the canopy.
I have an autocob and 2 quantum boards. I myself much prefer the quantum board but i think the autocob has its place.
I myself would not even really consider the hipargero. I just quickly glanced and its 150 bux online. For that you can get any of the lights ive mentioned which are probably, honestly and said without malice, better lights.
You do you tho! Youre the one whos gotta be happy or unhappy with their lights lol

Nice! I hope ya like it, im diggin on mine!
A tip, you will need a tiny screwdriver, like from an atomizer if ya vape, or an eye glass repair kit or something, to adjust the power.
If ya want i can post up later with a pic to point ya in the right direction.
