The Mars Hydro 1600W LED grow light has been a staple for many years. This powerful grow light was definitely one of the best for its time. It offered enough light to successfully grow several plants and it covered up to a 5×5′ grow area. The Mars Hydro 1600W LED was a beast to handle that weighed 33 pounds. Fortunately, the new model weighs less (8 pounds), costs less ($325 with free shipping) and is more powerful!

UPDATE: Mars Hydro 1600W LED Discontinued

Unfortunately, Mars Hydro recently discontinued the 1600W LED. Luckily, they replaced it with a new model that is more powerful and uses less electricity. The new model is also smaller, weighs less and has 684 individual LED’s! I love the new Mars Hydro TSW models. If the you were considering the 1600 watt, I would recommend getting the new model linked above. These new LED lights are way better than the old models. For one, they are much easier to handle. Like I stated above, the 1600 watt weighed 33 pounds, but the new 2000 watt only weighs 8 pounds. Thats a huge difference!

The Mars Hydro TSW 2000W pairs nicely with a 3×3′ grow tent. However, if you really want to try and get the most out of your grow, you can get a 4×4′ grow tent. The Mars Hydro grow tents pair nicely with their lights respectively.
