Mars Hydro - TSL2000 - 300W
Product Information:
The Mars Hydro TSL2000 is an excellent, high-powered LED that I have used for nearly a decade. It is extremely powerful (I rarely use it at full power), and has the perfect coverage for a 4’ x 2’ growing area/shelf. The full spectrum light has a warm hue and stimulates fast growth and intense coloration in high light carnivorous plants. I use these at roughly 40-50% power hanging about 18”-24” above my Sundews, Cephalotus, Darlingtonia, Flytraps, Tropical Pinguicula, and more. I have them at 100% power about 12”-18” above my Dewy Pines.
NOTE: Lights have free shipping and will ship separately from plants.
Wattage: 300W
LEDs: 2.6 μmol/j; dimmable
Dimensions: 39.21”L x 9.97”W x 3.54”H
PPF: 778 μmol/s; can easily cover 4’ x 2’ with more than enough light, and can cover even greater area at a higher height (plus medium/low light beyond the edges of coverage)
Species: most all Drosera, Flytraps, Sarracenia, Cephalotus, Darlingtonia, most Tropical Pinguicula, Heliamphora, etc.
Lighting:
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of growing carnivorous plants. Most carnivorous plants prefer very strong light, and the best results come from high quality LED grow lights. Not only does it stimulate fast growth, the plants will attain beautiful coloration — bright red tentacles on Sundews, red mouths on Flytraps, pink/purple/red on Tropical Butterworts, and deep reds on Sarracenia just as a few examples (some species will stay green in bright light but will be healthier). Sundews will produce more dew under proper lighting (not usually an issue with water, but lighting)! Bright light can make the plants a bit more compact and robust, but the increased health and better appearance are absolutely worth it.
Using LEDs is simple, and most designs have a dimmer switch to adjust the light intensity. Mount them over your growing area and roughly calculate the light intensity based on distance and dispersion.
Cheap LEDs are too weak, extremely energy inefficient, and limited in spectrum (types of light “color” that plants need). High quality LEDs are essential for healthy plants and will use far less energy and produce less heat (and last for many, many years). I’ve personally vetted and used these LEDs for my plants and can attest to their quality and function.
