ADlite is a multifunctional supplemental LED light bar designed by Mars Hydro to provide targeted supplemental lighting. It enhances specific parts of the light spectrum based on your plants’ unique needs. ITime is a smart timer from Mars Hydro that connects with other smart devices through the MarsPro app, offering advanced features like multi-stage and cycle timing. The MarsPro App is a centralized platform for managing all Mars Hydro Smart series devices.
ADlite and iTime can be seamlessly integrated with the MarsPro app for smart scheduling of ADlite’s operation. You can set lighting schedules in advance, and monitor or adjust ADlite’s status anytime, anywhere—just with a smartphone and Wi-Fi. Plus, the newly upgraded MarsPro interface is clearer and more user-friendly, making your growing experience smarter and more efficient.
Why Choose ADlite
Unlike integrated full-spectrum LEDs, standalone supplemental lights, such as UV, IR, Blue, and Deep Red, give growers precise control over light application and plant development.
- Custom Spectrum Adjustment: Fine-tune light recipes for each growth stage to maximize efficiency and yield.
- Energy Efficiency: Save energy by using only the wavelengths your plants need, when they need them.
- Flexible Installation: You can position the lights freely or integrate them seamlessly into Mars Hydro FC/FC-E fixtures using the convenient bracket system. If you are using a third-party brand of main LED grow light, ADlite is also compatible—just ensure you have enough space for proper installation.
Why Choose ITime
The MARS Hydro iTime 2-in-1 Smart Timer takes automation and energy efficiency to the next level with versatile scheduling options tailored to your needs.
- Multi-Segment Timing: Set up to 12 customized schedules with daily or fixed weekly combinations. This feature ensures precise control by automatically switching devices on and off according to predefined settings.
- Cyclic Timing: Ideal for repetitive operations, this function allows users to program fixed switching times and running durations. Once set, the timer continuously cycles through these intervals, ensuring consistent performance.
Note: The Dual-outlet design enables each device to be timed individually or controlled synchronously, providing seamless adaptability to meet your automation needs.
