Mars Hydro TS 3000 VS HLG 550 V2 Quantum Board LED Grow Light
Mars Hydro TS 3000 Grow Light
The TS series has four lights: the 1000 is the smallest, the 3000 is the largest and the TSW 2000 and TSL 2000 are both in the middle and about the same, differing mainly in their form factor.
The TSW is almost square and gives you a square coverage area, while the TSL is long and gives you a rectangular coverage area similar to the SP series of lights.
the Mars Hydro TS 3000 sports a modern quantum board design. So what are you getting with this new design?
White light spectrum plus infrared,
Fanless design,
Manageable heat,
High power efficiency: Pulls 450 watts from the wall and emits 2.2 micromoles per Joule of energy used (uMol/J).
Light intensity doesn’t decrease as much as traditional lights when you measure further from center underneath the light.
Best price in its class
One of the biggest improvements on quantum board designs is the more evenly spread light intensity. For example, a low end traditional LED grow light may emit 1000 micromoles of light directly underneath the center, but as you measure 1 foot from center, the intensity will drop significantly.
That’s not helpful because ideally, you want intense light over the whole grow space, not just the center underneath the grow light. This was a common problem with LED grow lights under $500 until quantum boards came around and improved the situation.
More On Light Intensity:
One difference between the Mars Hydro TS 3000 and the main quantum board competitors HLG and Spider Farmer grow lights is the type of LED used. Mars Hydro is using Epistar LEDs while HLG and Spider Farmer use Samsung LEDs.
Samsung LEDs are generally viewed as higher quality, but there’s definitely some brand name premium priced in. The factors that will affect your grow will be the intensity of the light and the color spectrum emitted by differing brands.

A big LED board which has a full-color spectrum. The HLG Quantum Board 550 V2 LED grow light enhances photosynthesis with the usage of more green and yellow light.
Features at a glance of the HLG 550 V2
White light HLG quantum board
480 Watt power Draw
Fast and rapid growth
Efficiency of 161 Lm/W
Dimmable power supply (max 480w – min 240w)
Full spectrum
Great for veg and bloom
3 years warranty
All specifications and features
The HLG 550 V2 LED grow light is your next go-to light for the growing cannabis at all stages. Having 4 custom designed quantum boards by Samsung Company, this LED grow light is surely one that you can rely on.
Quantum Board
HLG 550 V2 has custom designed quantum boards. Having LEDs from Samsung, they use white light technology to focus on the plants. Furthermore, it is assembled in the USA.
In addition, this HLG quantum board enhances the photosynthesis process required for the germination and flowering stages. All in all, they give great canopy light penetration.
The biggest pro of this quantum board is the diffusion of the light. You can cover an area of 4.5 x 4.5 feet for flowering and 6 x 6 feet for the vegetative phase. This is a huge area. It fits perfectly with a 4×4 grow tent or other grow room where you need a diffused light.
Full spectrum of the HLG quantum board
The HLG 550 V2 LED grow light comes with a full spectrum light. This spectrum is at 3000k for this HLG quantum board. This full-color spectrum especially focuses on the yellow and green light (invisible to the eye). As a result, this makes it responsible for the healthy growth of veg and flowers.
It comes with a 480w power draw that replaces a 1000w Single Ended HID. You can dim the light with the included dimmer to a minimum of 240w.
This HLG quantum board offers a perfectly diffused full spectrum light for a large area. It is probably one of the best lights on the market when it comes to light spectrum and coverage. Therefore, I must say that this is an amazing light. My plants love it!
Cool design of the HLG 550 V2
This HLG quantum board is great in keeping itself cool. This quantum board is quite large and therefore it is easier for the light to keep itself cool. This LED grow light is one of the coolest lights on the market.
The HLG 550 V2 is great in heat dissipation and working cool. This LED grow light does not have any fans, as it doesn’t need any. Its design is so high quality that it is perfect at keeping low temperatures.
Coverage area
HLG 550 v2 quantum board has proven itself to be one of the best when it comes to flower and vegetative footprints. It has a flower footprint of 4’ x 4’ to 4.5’ x 4.5’ as well as a veg footprint of 6’ x 6’.
So, the HLG quantum board does a perfect job in lighting all your plants and canopies. And, it provides a good diffused light. This light is not super bright in the middle and weak at the outsides. It evenly spreads its strength over the area.
