LED grow lights intended for large spaces can be expensive. Many grow lights on the market today are either inefficient, don't properly cover the stated coverage area, or are grossly overpriced. When you're spending $1,000 or more on a LED grow light, you want to make sure that you're getting not only a high-quality product that will last several years, but also a LED grow light that is efficient and evenly covers the grow space with light.
LED lights are an ideal choice for most growers and choosing the right one can save you money while improving the quality of your harvest. Today we are comparing the Mars Hydro FC 8000 - LM301H and the ECOZ PRO 700W Samsung 301H Chips LED Grow Light
Mars Hydro FC 8000 - LM301H
Commercial LED Grow Light: Wave-shaped heat sink increases the heat dissipation to achieve superior cooling. The detachable design allows for easy installation and storageIts w
Consistent PAR Distribution and Uniform PPFD Output: This multi-light bar and the dense layout of the light diodes enable the FC8000 LED grow light to have PPFD values in the range of 1000-1500 μmol/m²/s throughout the effective coverage area, the optimal range for cultivation with added CO2.
Professional Spectra For Plant Production: Enhanced blue and red light as a specific spectral combination, boosting plant growth while improving the yield and quality.
Daisy-chain Dimming Function: The dimming function is available from 0-100% variable brightness and adapts to the different plant growth stages. A maximum of 30 lights can be daisy-chained together and be controlled by one light.
IP65 Waterproof: Enables the light to operate in wet conditions for easy cleaning.
Top-Notch LED Diodes: The FC 8000 mounts 2968 Samsung LM-301h and Osram 660nm diodes and makes use twice as many LED's as other comparable models. Quality guaranteed and high efficiency up to 2.9 μmol/j.

Mars Hydro FC 8000 - LM301H
ECO Farm ECOZ PRO 700W Samsung 301H Chips LED Grow Light 
Both lights include deep red and blue in their spectrums, but ECO Farm has more purple UV spectrum and far red IR spectrum.
UV grow lights can also produce changes/increases in phenolic compounds, flavonoid pigments, resins and oil production, etc. As plants are exposed to UV light, they produce such compounds to protect themselves, similar to the way you might put sunscreen on so you don’t get sunburn. While these effects are highly desirable for many crops.
The far red frequency will encourage young plants to develop larger leaves and will also affect photoperiodism (Flowering phase) of short day plants. When short day plants are exposed to far red light, it will encourage them to flower. So, many growers will use far red lights like a IR LED light bar for a few minutes up to two hours before the lights off phase. Doing this will speed up flowering, meaning you will see flowers develop quicker than without far red light
