Tina, could you post those pictures you have on the 420 site that shows those copycat and false advertised lights compared to the Mars. I think it might be interesting for those here who don't know about them and the safety issues so they know what to look for when buying a light.

Hey Tina I have a question for you; I have the 1600W Mars II unit and I was wondering if it's safe to use an appropriate gauge extension cord with it? The provided cord in a 5 x 5 tent isn't long enough to reach my outlet. If you don't recommend an extension cord, is it possible to replace the power cord with a longer, compatible power cord?

Thank you! Have the light mounted in the tent; hoping to have a grow journal started very soon!

Hey Hobbes I know ha Asked Tina But I'm Running 1254 actual watts of Mars Hydro 1 900w and 4 300w panels through an regular gauge cord with no problems. Hope it Helps.

Longer cords would be nice though

Awesome, thanks bro! Are you plugging directly into the wall? Are surge protectors out of the question?

where the lights meet the cord I have a star plug in with 6 outlets and a built in surge protector. I then run straight to the wall.

Yes Margahooja, I can post that, but I am not sure if it is against the rule. I will ask Mossy about it.

Tina your good to go, That would be a great thing to be able to identify a fake......You would not be breaking any rules.

Yes, Son of Hobbies, you can get an extension cord, but please buy one with 14AWG, with a external diameter of 0.0641inch 110v. As 1600w light has a current of 6.5A, very strong so this is the safest one.
