Mars Hydro FC 1000W-EVO delivers intense 2900 µmol/m²/s PPFD with Samsung LM301H EVO chips and smart control for growers demanding maximum efficiency and yield

1000W LED grow light with Samsung LM301H EVO diodes, 2900 PPFD, and smart dimming for CO₂-enriched 4x4 and 5x5 grows.

Built for high-performance CO₂ grows, the Mars Hydro FC 1000W-EVO throws down serious light—2900 µmol/m²/s of high-intensity, full-spectrum output powered by Samsung LM301H EVO diodes. Whether you’re running a 4x4 ft flower tent or scaling up in commercial vertical racks, this LED is tuned for deep canopy penetration, even PPFD, and explosive yields.

If you’re tired of patchy coverage and underwhelming bud development, this light solves it. Optimized chip layout = uniform distribution, no hotspots. The smart-ready design gives you sunrise/sunset simulation, dimming by the minute, and mobile control when paired with the iConnect controller. This thing is built for pros—but priced so small-scale growers can step up too.

Is the Mars Hydro FC 1000W-EVO Energy-Efficient?

Absolutely. This LED delivers 2.9 µmol/J—outclassing double-ended HPS systems (1.7–2.1 µmol/J) and blowing old-school 1.3 µmol/J setups out of the water. That’s nearly double the efficiency, with none of the heat, bulb swaps, or wasted watts. Ideal for CO₂-boosted flower rooms, hydroponics, or soil in 4x4 and 5x5 setups.

Features

  • Powered by Samsung LM301H EVO Diodes delivers industry-leading diode efficacy of 3.14 μmol/J, with a plant-optimized spectrum that enhances photosynthesis, nutrient absorption, and bioactive compound production.
  • Exceptional PPFD Output reaches up to 2900 μmol/m²/s, making it ideal for high-intensity CO₂ grow environments and boosting yields with intense light penetration.
  • Full Spectrum Grow Lighting provides a carefully balanced range of blue, red, and green wavelengths to support every growth phase—from strong vegetative development to enhanced flowering and bud quality.
  • Smart Grow Compatibility enables remote scheduling and control through the Mars Hydro APP (requires iConnect controller). Features include OTA syncing, minute-level scheduling, and Sunrise & Sunset Simulation.
  • Auto-Dimming Precision Control allows time-based dimming adjustments tailored to your grow cycle, automating lighting to match natural plant photoperiods with professional precision.
  • Optimized Heat Dissipation features a wave-style aluminum heat sink and spaced multi-bar design for effective passive cooling, eliminating hotspots and extending fixture lifespan.
  • Professional-Grade Design supports a 4' x 4' core cultivation area (up to 5' x 5' max), built for continuous, high-output operation in both personal and commercial grow setups.

Samsung LM301H EVO Chip

The Samsung LM301H EVO stands out as the optimal horticultural lighting diode and the most efficient chip available on the market, boasting an impressive efficacy of 3.14 μmol/j per individual diode. The LM301H EVO emits a unique plant-centric spectrum that supports both physical and nutrient growth. As a result of its superior per-diode efficacy, the FC1000W-EVO is a highly efficient and effective solution for stimulating photosynthesis, producing bioactive compounds, enhancing plant quality, and saving energy.

Professional Samsung LED Grow Light

The Mars Hydro FC1000W is an innovative LED grow light that leverages the latest Samsung LM301H EVO diodes to achieve exceptional results. With a consumption of 1000W and a remarkable photosynthetic photon efficacy (PPE) of 2.9 μmol/j across the entire unit, the FC1000W-EVO represents an ideal lighting solution for indoor plants, offering a reliable and consistent source of energy that is well-suited for both personal growers and commercial cultivation facilities (especially vertical farming).

High PPFD and Even Light Distribution

The smart FC1000W-EVO provides an impressive PPFD of up to 2900 μmol/m²/s, making it an excellent choice for commercial cultivation and enhancing flowering to produce higher quality crops and greater yields. The LED chips on each light bar are arranged in a scientifically optimized pattern, resulting in even light distribution that promotes uniform plant growth while avoiding hotspots in the center.

Full Spectrum Light Rich in Red and Blue

This unique spectrum blend of the FC1000W-EVO contains a precise combination of blue and red light, along with sufficient green light to promote optimal plant growth. The Blue light stimulates vegetative growth and supports the accumulation of essential phytochemicals, while the abundant Red light accelerates the maturation process and improves the overall quality of buds and flowers produced by the plants.

Smart FC1000W LED Grow Light in Smart Grow System

【Buy Mars Hydro iConnect Smart controller to enable smart function.】
By connecting to the Mars Hydro APP, the smart FC1000W grow light enables convenient mobile access to your smartphone or tablet, allowing for remote control and data transfer. With this feature, it’s easy to manage and schedule the smart FC1000W from anywhere, with just a few taps on the device. All the settings and data are securely stored and transferred using OTA (Over The Air) technology, ensuring hassle-free and efficient data transfer between the devices, advantageous for busy growers who cannot devote much time to tending to their indoor plants and for commercial growers who are operating hundreds of lights simultaneously.

Auto-Dimming and Precise Configuration Capability

【Buy Mars Hydro iConnect Smart controller to enable smart function.】
The smart FC1000W grow light offers an auto-dimming feature that can be fine-tuned to the year, month, day, hour, and minute, guaranteeing that the light intensity is customized to align with your grow schedules. This level of precision provides the Sunrise & Sunset Simulation feature that replicates the natural photoperiod of plants, offering a professional-level option for personal growth.

Fast Heat Dissipation

The wave-shaped heat sink allows for quick heat dissipation, preventing any disruptions to the light's operation. The multi-bar style design incorporates reserved space between the light bars for cooling, effectively mitigating any potential hot spot issues.

What's Included?

  • Dimmer Box (Manual control unit for light intensity)
  • Dimming Cable (Connects dimmer to light fixture)
  • Hanging Kit (Steel cable set for secure mounting)
  • Suspension Kit (Rope ratchet system for height adjustment)

FAQs

How many watts do I need for my grow space?

The wattage depends on the size of your grow tent or room. A general guideline is 30-50 watts per square foot for high-light plants like cannabis. For example, a 2x2 ft area may need 100-200W, while a 4x4 ft area may require 400-600W for optimal coverage.

What is the difference between full-spectrum and red/blue LED grow lights?

Full-spectrum LED lights mimic natural sunlight, providing a balanced mix of blue (for vegetative growth) and red (for flowering and fruiting) light. Red/blue LED lights focus on specific wavelengths but may not support plants as effectively as full-spectrum lights.
