What model are you looking to buy? 5x5 is quite a large area for the mars. If you’re going to invest for long term I’d look into a couple different brands. Fluence spydr series, growers choice, timber cobs, gavita, and HLG. All of these companies have led lights that will do great in the 5x5 area. Hope you find what you’re looking for. Happy grows. And welcome.

You could also add Rapid Led Cobs to your list. I’ve got two twelve cob 3500K kits from them...Nice.
