It looks like Mars are paying attention to what people want , good drivers, not the best diodes but it looks reasonable.

What price is it where your looking?

About 200 earth pounds in our money.

Add another £100 to that, ~ £300 and that'll get you 2 x Fotop boards + a meanwell HLG 320h 48A for twice the coverage though.
Why do they make those lights so narrow, 90mm - 3.5"?
Nice enough spectrum.
I wish I could find/ purchase those mars type boards cheap, no heatsinks or drivers, just the bare boards.
I'd wire them up to run at between 30-60 watts and use them as supplementary lighting.

I Build lights for people if you need help. Building a 1920w and 1280w light right now. Just waiting on some parts to come in.

Ive seen some guy on grasscity pulling 400g + from just one of these in a 2x4, so apparently these are 1.8 umol/j (actually emitted and measured, none of that theoretical value crap) I'd say it's a good option for those who don't want to wait for the boards from China. Even Migro dude was positive about this fixture.
Alternatively the driver can be unplugged and used on better boards in future. I was gonna order 4 fotops 800 boards and DIY but im gonna buy this one instead. Half the price and I'll have two tents so I can propagate and shorten time between harvests. Once my bloom light fails I'll be looking at QB's. By that time they will get even better ;)

Pardon the yellowing few, reused coco with no nutes added first week, cuz I thought they might get burned, well they starved instead. But Bennie's + myco got mixed in now, and a proper splash of biobizz, so should be all good in a week. Top row is beggining of week 3 from dropping a bean in the coco. I'd say perfect light for veg/clone tent. Love the Dimming function. 150 W @ 12" Temps are at 27°C, the one all the way to the right in the top row is an auto, I will keep y'all posted :)

That's how they vegged out, now in a 4x4 flower room. Had a major problem due to a hole in a wall made by my neighbour. Had to move em to a friend for 2 weeks, got cold shocked and mistreated by him, but it's all good now :) I'm giving them one week for transplant adjustment , and then it's bud town.
