I don’t have one of those but I have used Mars lights and if your issue is that nothing happens or if one or more panels are out when powered and switched on take a look at the cable assemblies. It looks like the wiring package used utilizes the same type of splice points they use in their other lights, I have found that they tend to under strip, over insert and under tighten the wiring in those splice points. If you open up the splices and just redo the connection points it will probably sort you out.

I'm 99% sure these light come out of the same factory as the spider farmer lights and also the supplemental reds I have.
This light will work great in a 3x3 tent @ 18". It's a bit light on in the red department, no IR or UV but capable of producing up to a pound of bud.
Compare it to the SE3000. I think the Mars has wifi control via a phone app now.
On assembly remove all connections and redo all wiring connections in the cable joiners..test them for heat build up over time.
It won't do a 4x4
Very good light. Samsung LM301B and Osram 660's.
Not sure of cost but I know Spider Farmer do sales a few times a year where you can get like 20% off so keep an eye out.

Thank you Phlash I have a TSW 2000 that quit after almost 3 years of use. No sign of burn out just quit , I'll check that out. I bought the FC3000 to replace it and its a really nice light but it hasn't ran on the app yet. Still trying, just wondering if anybody has ran one on the app.
