The Mars Hydro ADlite series comprises supplemental LED light bars specifically engineered to augment the performance of existing full-spectrum LED grow lights, rather than being used as standalone fixtures. This series, featuring individual bars for UV, Infrared (IR), Blue, and Deep Red light, allows growers to transition from a general full-spectrum light recipe to a highly customized light regimen tailored to specific stages of plant development. The independent nature of the supplemental bars grants growers superior control over light application, enabling them to strategically introduce targeted wavelengths—such as UV for stimulating secondary metabolites or IR for maximizing the flowering response—only when necessary, which maximizes spectral efficiency and overall crop yield.

• Customizable Spectrum Control: Offers dedicated light bars (UV, IR, Blue, Deep Red) to fine-tune the light recipe beyond a standard full-spectrum fixture.

• Targeted Growth Enhancement: Each spectrum is specialized: Blue for promoting compact, sturdy vegetative growth; Deep Red for boosting flowering and fruit quality; UV for increasing secondary metabolites (like flavonoids/THC); and IR for inducing flowering and improving canopy penetration.

• Universal Compatibility: Independently powered with individual plugs, ensuring the light bars can be used with any brand of main LED grow light.

• Flexible Mounting Options: Designed to be mounted externally or embedded directly into Mars Hydro FC/FC-E fixtures using a bracket system.

• Smart Control Ready: Easily integrates with the Mars Hydro iTime Smart Timer or iHub to enable automated, precise control and scheduling via the MarsPro App

A key advantage of the ADlite design is its operational flexibility and ease of integration. Each light bar is independently powered with its own plug, ensuring universal compatibility with any brand of main LED grow light and simplifying the setup process. Furthermore, Mars Hydro has provided versatile mounting options, including a bracket system that allows the ADlite bars to be neatly embedded into their FC/FC-E fixtures for optimal under-canopy lighting. For advanced control, the lights can be paired with the Mars Hydro iTime Smart Timer or iHub, allowing for automatic, precise on/off scheduling of the specialized light cycles via the MarsPro App.
