HELP! Mars Hydro 700w

[Damngrower]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a little assistance. I recently acquired two Mars Hydro LED lights. A 700w and a 1200w. Got them free from a friend but they didn't come with a power lead. Got that and turned them on. Images attached.

As you can see the 700w is missing a few bulbs but in kind of a pattern so I don't know if this is normal and they'll come on over time or if there is a problem.

The 1200 only has a couple of bulbs blown out. I'm new to LED so would appreciate any input before I try to use them.

Got them free? I would ask that friend how many years he has been using them.

Damngrower , sorry to say those lights are just worn out. The dead zones and bulbs are cooked. I had same issues with some viperspectras that eventually started burning out bulbs. Noticed my buds weren’t getting thick and solid. Probably be fine for seedlings or veg maybe.

Yeah they are very old 😂 better drop them at the tip!
