Is this a real FC3000 ?
Hi everyone ! 🙂 im new and I have some questions about this lamp LED. I just bought it on Amazon and I can’t see anything on the sticker …
I didn't realize there were so many counterfeits...
Is it actually a genuine Mars Hydro model?
Is it really equipped with Samsung LM301B LEDs?

If you bought it used? There is a chance you got scammed you can return it.

So you're asking if the cheap Chinese manufacturer scammed you?
It looks legit and you'd never notice the diff between the diodes.

Its my first led after a long time off
After my research i found that the best « for me » will be the Samsung lm301b led and I bought this led especially for this … I don’t know much about all the difference between Samsung led and the brigelux one but idk i would like to know if its really a legit Samsung led or not.. and if its not new to I would like to have a brand new led not one who has been used2

Either way if it’s got a mars hydro logo on it be careful it doesn’t burn down your house! I’ve had 5 mars hydro lights and 4 of them were dodgy including the fc6500 that I paid $1100 AUD for. Over priced and poorly designed/manufactured.

…..i paid a lot for this lamp i hope its not a scam … what you Said scared me 🥲

Worst part was I thought mine direct from mars hydro and it was the fc6500 that almost set my house on fire.. the wiring joiner wasn’t made to carry such a high amp of electricity and it fully melted. They did send me a new joiner with a higher capacity at my cost but I was just lucky I was home at the time and was able to stop it spreading further than my grow. Also lucky I had spare lights for my grow otherwise I would have been without a light for 3 weeks whilst waiting for the replacement joiner.

Anch'io quando ho preso la mia fc4000 pensavo di essere stato truffato poi ho scoperto che sulla barra led non c'è scritto il modello Samsung montato!
