The VG80 LED T5 Grow Light is designed for seedlings, cloning, vegetable propagation, and indoor tropical plant cultivation, offering wide coverage and low power consumption. It features a full-spectrum design, using OSRAM chips, and has an IP65 waterproof rating, making it suitable for fast growth of clones and low DLI green leaf plants. It consumes less energy and costs less electricity than fluorescent T5 bulbs. Providing high-quality vegetable light, the VG80 promotes healthy plant growth.

  • Wattage - 80W (40W Each Light Bar)
  • Core Coverage: 4ft*2ft
  • Recommended tent size: 120x60cm

Features & Benefits

  • Energy-efficient: Capable of providing high light intensity with lower energy consumption, contributing to reduced electricity costs.
  • Long lifespan: Fewer tube replacements and maintenance costs.
  • Low heat generation: Unlike traditional fluorescent tubes, LED tube produces very little heat, aiding in maintaining indoor temperatures.
  • Compact design: Thinner than traditional T5 fluorescent tubes, making it easier to install on plant cultivation racks or in planting boxes.

Daisy Chain and Functional Diversity

The VG80's easy installation and ability to daisy-chain up to 20 LED lights make it convenient for commercial growers. It is also compatible with various indoor planting systems, including bottom, side, under-lighting, and top lighting, and can also solve slow growth and narrow leaves due to insufficient light in tall plants.

Optimized for Cloning and Vegetative Growth

The VG80 is a low DLI plant light designed specifically for vegetables, seedlings, and clones. With only 80 watts of power, its low heat output allows it to be hung at a lower height on plant racks without harming plants. Despite the low wattage, it can cover a large area and achieve the same effect with less energy consumption.

IP65-Rated Water Resistance

The VG80’s light panel is installed with a special transparent waterproof lampshade to protect the diode and circuit from moisture, ensuring that it can work properly in highly humid environments without shortening its lifespan. The interface of the VG80 is also made with a special waterproof treatment to ensure that the whole grow light is water-resistant.=

Cost-Effective Option and Maximum Production

While the VG80 can be used for seedling cultivation and cloning separately, however, if it is coupled with lights that are more suitable for the flowering stage along with adopting a cyclic planting method the VG80 can shorten the harvest cycle and maximize your yield.

A T5/T8/T12 Replacement and a Partner for Plant Racks and Stands

The VG80 is an optimal LED alternative for T5/T8/T12 fluorescent grow lights and provides effective, potent, and cool lighting performance on plant racks, plant shelves, and plant stands.


Mars Hydro VG80 Works Great For Growing Mushrooms

In the intricate world of mushroom cultivation, the role of lighting is paramount. But what is the best light for mushroom growing? The Mars Hydro VG80 LED grow lights have been specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of this niche. These lights not only provide the optimal spectrum and intensity for mushroom growth but also incorporate energy-efficient LED technology, crucial for long-term cultivation.

Specialized Light Spectrum for Mushroom Growth

Mushrooms thrive under a specific light spectrum, notably the blue light at the 400-500 nanometer wavelength range. This is where the Mars Hydro VG80 excels. They emit light within this spectrum, particularly beneficial during the crucial fruiting stage when mushrooms develop spores. This mimicry of natural daylight is vital as mushrooms grow best under conditions that closely resemble natural sunlight.

Mushrooms require a unique approach to lighting compared to typical plants. Most mushroom varieties need only minimal light, primarily to trigger the fruiting process. Both the VG40 and VG80 offer adjustable settings for light intensity and duration, allowing growers to provide just enough light to support mushroom growth without overexposure. This flexibility is crucial for maintaining the right balance of light for extended periods.

Great for using behind me on Zoom calls
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
This works great as a place to put tapestries behind me when I'm on Zoom calls... much nicer than blurring out the background. Easy to put together, large, works great.

Good quality, very adorable solution.
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
Easy to put together and take apart. Wish it had a storage bag of some sort—that would be very helpful. Used it for our mom while she was on hospice at home. The wheels made it very easy to move around as necessary. Nice and tall and wide for privacy. Highly recommend.

Nice, large room divider for privacy
Color: Black, Size: 1 Large Panel
Easy to assemble. Fabric screen covers the large frame very well and provides privacy by separating spaces. I would not exactly call it sturdy, but it does the job and stands freely with no problem. It’s lightweight and portable if you need to move it. Came with a screwdriver and wrench tool for assembly.

Perfect solution
Color: Black, Size: 2 Large Panels, Color: Black, Size: 2 Large Panels
Was a perfect solution to blocking off a part of a room for guest stay. My only wish was a bag for it to go in while not in use. Right now we’ve got it tucked away in a corner where it’s waiting to be used again. I put one wheel through a wooden partition gate (for dogs) and pushed a couch up against it and it held great keeping young kids out of the room. Though the dog figured it out pretty quickly haha I love the fabric in between the sections as well as the fact that they can be completely separate for individual use as needed. Makes it very useful in more scenarios.
