Mars Hydro TS LED Lighting
Are you looking for an affordable LED light that you can switch on straight out of the box and do not have to deal with a ballast? The Mars Hydro TS range consists of full-spectrum LED panels from 100 to 450 W, where you mainly choose according to the tent area - from the compact TS600 for 60x60 cm up to the TS3000 for a full 120x120 cm tent.

Mars Hydro TS is an entry-level range of full-spectrum LED lights, especially appreciated by growers looking for ready-made lighting without a separate ballast and complicated wiring. The lights have a full spectrum suitable for both the growth and flowering stages, and power is handled with a single cable - making them a practical choice for a first tent or for supplementing another growing space.
How to choose a specific model
The key criterion is the area you want to illuminate. Each TS model is tuned to a specific tent size, and its output matches that - an underpowered light will not give plants enough energy for flowering, while an overpowered one will unnecessarily overheat a small space. You can use this overview as a guide:
| Model | Power input | Recommended area |
|---|---|---|
| TS600 | 100 W | 60x60 to 70x70 cm |
| TS1000 | 150 W | 75x75 to 80x80 cm |
| TSL2000 / TSW2000 | 300 W | 120x60 cm / 100x100 cm |
| TS3000 | 450 W | 120x120 cm |
TSL2000 and TSW2000 have the same power input of 300 W, but they differ in the shape of the light - the elongated TSL2000 suits a narrow 120x60 cm tent, while the square TSW2000 covers 100x100 cm evenly. Choose according to the footprint of your tent, not just the wattage.
Who is the TS range suitable for
The TS range is a reliable choice for beginners and for anyone who wants dependable full spectrum light without experimentation. The best-selling smaller models are TS1000 and TS600 for home tents; for larger areas, choose TS3000. If you want finer control over intensity or the shape of the light, also look at the sister ranges Mars Hydro FC and Mars Hydro SP.
Which Mars Hydro TS light should I choose for a 60x60 cm tent?
For a 60x60 cm tent, the TS600 with 100 W power input is ideal. For 80x80 cm, choose the TS1000, and for a full 120x120 cm tent, choose the TS3000.
Can the TS range handle the whole cycle from growth to flowering?
Yes, TS lights have a full spectrum, so you can use them in both the growth and flowering stages without changing the light.
Do I need a separate ballast for Mars Hydro TS?
No, the TS range has integrated power supply and connects with a single cable - so there is no need for an external ballast.
Is Mars Hydro LED better, or an HPS discharge lamp?
