If that's the first attempt at a quantum board knock off they failed, but that's normal for Mars Hydro

Swings and roundabouts.
It has better coverage than an hlg qb v2 kit, a bigger board. At least they're honest lol..... as they say it uses epistar diodes.
PAR readings look ok. Fuller spectrum. Maybe a tad too much blue for some.
Cost £100
The QB v2 kit costs £170 so nearly twice the price.
Good for anyone on a budget
Dunno about warranty.
I can't really knock it compared with their burples.
And it caters for the Japanese in plug choice!
Just my take on it

That drop off is hardcore though. And a super cheap Chinese driver. Matches the 15 year old diode tech. But for 130ish US it would make a good veg light. I wouldnt flower with it.
I like how it says driver tested is meanwell HLG-120h-54a and clearly the light shipped is not a meanwell driver.

I've bought 5 Mars Hydro lights and have never been disappointed in any of them, and all of them lit an area bigger than what they claimed.

The first couple lights I bought because, for the specs and price they were the best buy for led at the time.
The tents I had at the time were quit a bit bigger than the footprint the lights were designed for which was fine because I needed room for my fan, humidifier, etc.
As the plants finished veg and went into flower I pulled the equipment out and pushed the plants to the edges of the tents well out of the
recommended coverage area. They all flowered fine and there was a slight difference from the buds on the edge compared to the
middle, but not no much that it mattered.
The test wasn't done with meters and testers granted, but every light did more than I expected, so believe me or not, it's up to you.
