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.

Good Prints for Sublimation
Model: 500N STD, Model: 500N STD
After years of using converted printers for sublimation, I finally decided to go with the Sawgrass printer, which is specifically designed for sublimation. The printer turned out to be very nice! I’m particularly happy about the Sawgrass customer service they provide. Follow-up. I ordered the SG500 printer bundle from Amazon, but unfortunately, the prints had visible grid lines. I promptly reached out to Sawgrass customer service, and after a few emails, they figured out that the printer I received was faulty. It was all resolved within a few hours, which was way faster than I had expected. They immediately sent me a replacement machine and the prints are absolutely beautiful for my sublimation projects. Sawgrass customer service is truly amazing! Over the past three months, I have been using the Sawgrass printer and have identified a shortcoming that I would like to share in my review. While the prints produced by the Sawgrass printer are satisfactory, they fall short of the quality achieved with a printer I previously used for several years. This printer required a conversion to sublimation printing. I have sent a note to Sawgrass inquiring about potential solutions to this issue a couple of months ago, but I have not yet received a response. This suggests that the company may not have a viable remedy. You be the judge. I followed Sawgrass recommendations and used the Sawgrass Print Utility, but no matter what changes I make, the converted printer seems to produce prints much more to my liking. Both of the book markers shown were sublimated at the same time. In the future, when I have an order to complete, I will be opting to use the more affordable printer that I converted.

Sawgrass quality is excellent
Model: 500N STD, Model: 500N STD
I've been on the fence with Sawgrass, simply because cost can be an issue, but this past week I decided to put the new Sawgrass to the test against another of my printers which I converted for dye sublimation. I also own the Versiflex. I was on the fence with it initially as well, but I've been using it ALOT and I now have it down to an art. I've made shirts for friends and they were literally blown away at the quality of the print, so. . . yes, it is expensive and yes, you get what you pay for. So. . . I recently received the sublijet ink with my new Sawgrass since you cannot mix inks in a Sawgrass, not even to switch the type of ink for risk of damaging the machine. I'm seriously impressed. I made lanyards, T-shirts, bags and the quality is outstanding. I don't know if I'm going to retire my Epson, but the software to print using the Sawgrass print manager is pretty slick. Lots of options to fine tune your print quality. If you have the cash, buy it. If you don't save up. It's worth it. . . and this is coming from a skeptic.

Sawgrass is Always Innovating & Improving!
Model: 500N STD
I do own a versiflex and already have an expectation of quality and it did not let down. I’ve been running it for a few weeks and I’m honestly proud of what I’ve made. Mugs come out with deep blacks and smooth gradients, coasters are sharp edge to edge, and my poly tees keep their color after the first wash. Setup was fairly simple - drivers, print Manager, paper in, Wi-Fi paired first try. I barely tweak settings; reds, skin tones, and fine text land right without a lot of tinkering. No banding, no weird shifts, and the first print of the day is clean as it has an auto maintenance. For consistent, sellable results, it’s been worth it so far and I highly recommend it.

If you have a Cricut you need this
Style: Starter Bundle
Just what I needed to compliment my Cricut system. Works great, colors are perfect, set up was a breeze, connected to my wireless instantly. Prints look prefect, not all wonky like some can. Value pack was definitely worth the extra $50.

I am very happy with my printer. The print quality is excellent; the colors are vibrant, and the details look crisp. That said, I must admit that I have faced a few challenges when adjusting the tones, but I believe that with a little more practice, I will master them. Overall, it is an investment I highly recommend for anyone looking to get started in the world of sublimation.
