doug man i’m not questioning your integrity by any means. i’m not qualified to judge anyone anyway. as long as you also find and state the negatives about the free shit you’ve been given with as big of an emphasis as you’d put on the positive shit, i wouldnt expect anything more from a sponsored grower or grow. some or most dont do that so people are sceptical understandably.

I totally understand and was not taking it personally. Nobody has said a negative word to me or questioning me at all. Folks are right to question a persons motives if they are going to listen to their opinions. Those who pointed out I got my gear for free were completely accurate. I got no issue with that and even put that info into my posts for transparency. No issues here bud :peace:

crazy temps, scalding temps, just pure fucking madness!

The two main causes of mechanical parts failure are heat and vibration.

its gonna fuck up the q90 and q80 values of those diodes too. plus it is a safety hazard it literally is scalding hot. medically speaking 120f is scalding hot.

I will say tho I went and double checked all my connection points that are on today. At lights on I'll double check the fixture and make sure. If anything it's a good reminder to double/triple check things

They only give like 3% I believe?

i wouldn't whore myself out for only 3%. lol.

now if i could only get some golf club mfgs to send me free drivers to test, i'd be all over that. i'd put Titleist stickers on everything.

To me it looks like the driver had an internal failure. Looks like something was on the driver at first glance but if you zoom in it looks like the case split from heat and spewed carbon. I bet something fried inside.

looks more like a containment breach in sector 7a to me. lol

is it a mars branded driver? i didn't even bother to look. or made by inventronics or meanwell?

I did not want this to become a bash fest. I just want a new light with some better customer service. I am deleting this thread.

I mean let's be honest. . .those Mars Hydro sticker packs are lame anyway :lol:

Hey @MarsHydrofactory just an idea, how about a DESIGN CONTEST for new stickers??

It's got the Mars name but shows as an LG driver. It's different than the one on my FC 8000. My FC 6500 has an Invotronics.

No need to worry @Cabrone , nobody is really bashing Mars. Honest info is never a bad thing.

You can also tape two or more boxes together. I just had a box of rockwool slabs delivered that way.

i guess look on the bright side: it could have been much more serious. any indoors electrical failure is not fun.

or UHaul. they have some non standard size boxes too. since mars is paying, who cares if it's bigger than needed.
