MARS HYDRO SP & TS QUANTUM BOARD SERIES. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

[Marshydro]

This would be wonderful! If I can hang the light inside and have the heat dissipate outside of the grow area I can keep the temperatures all in the right spit.
Thank you for all of your help and information on this product line! I will wait to see when the extended power lines for the SP and TS come out. That will help
THANK YOU!!!

Our new batch of TS and SP are still on the way, they are all extended lines, I will inform on AFN when the goods arrive

Penetration
⠀
What exactly is penetration when talking about plant lighting? It refers directly to the PPFD available at a given distance after the calculation of inverse square and lens/reflector coefficients.

Mars SP can penetrate deeper to plants from the top of leaves to bottom.

Could you talk to your boss and see if they will start to sell just the boards?

It won't work for the time being. We're always selling finished products. plug and play. you can consider TS, It just adds a reflector and power supply

I'm betting it will up your sales because of diy people like me. What I want to do is run a whole room of them, but with one power supply running like 4 to 6 lights. I found a good supplier for meanwell drivers and stocked up for my next light buy. I was hoping to try the Mars ts series because of reflector. I noticed with my qb120 boards the light needs to be reflected down for maximum use of light. But I can't justify buying driver and all when I won't be using it. I just need the boards.

Please keep me in mind if things change.
