ADlite refers to Supplemental LED Light Bars designed to work in conjunction with full spectrum LED grow
lights. These light bars are not typically used on their own—they function as auxiliary lighting to
enhance specific parts of the light spectrum based on your plants’ needs.

As a pioneer in the industry, Mars Hydro was the first to develop and introduce multifunctional
supplemental LED light bars and has been continuously investing in this field for years. We offer the
most comprehensive ranges of supplemental light bars, including UV, IR, Blue, and Deep Red spectrums.
Benefits include:

When used together with full spectrum LED lights, these bars allow you to fine-tune your grow lighting
setup according to different stages of plant growth. This results in optimized plant development and a
more engaging growing experience—helping you unlock your plants’ full potential.

This not only delivers better growing results but also enhances your cultivation skills and increases
the enjoyment of your growing experience.

Using standalone supplemental lights — like UV, IR, Blue, and Deep
Red — gives growers much greater control over light application and plant development,
compared to LEDs with fixed integrated spectrums.

Benefits include:

Customized Spectrum Adjustment: fine-tune your light recipe
for each growth stage to maximize efficiency and yield.

Energy Efficiency: avoid energy waste by only using targeted
wavelengths when necessary.

Flexibility: supplemental lights can be installed at custom
positions or embedded into Mars Hydro FC / FCE fixtures using their bracket system for optimal light
distribution.

Each light type plays a specific role during a plant’s life cycle — and timing matters. For specific
usage times, please refer to the chart at the bottom of this page.

– IR Light:
Recommended for the flowering stage. Run 30 minutes daily —
15 minutes before the main light starts, and 15 minutes after the main light turns off.

– UV Light:
During the flowering stage, turn on for 10 minutes per hour
when the main light is on. Advanced users can gradually increase UV exposure based on the growth stage.

*Note: UV rays may irritate plants and cause damage, so they should not be used for long periods of
time.

– Red Light:
Used throughout the flowering phase. Match the main light schedule (usually 12 hours ON / 12 hours OFF).

– Blue Light:
Used throughout the vegetative stage. Synchronize with the main light schedule.

**Important:** The usage time for Blue and Deep Red light is typically synchronized with the main LED
light cycle.
If your main LED light cycle is 12 hours, Blue and Deep Red
should also be used for 12 hours.
If your main LED light cycle is 16 hours, Blue and Deep Red
should be used for 16 hours as well.

Mars Hydro bundles are designed for both scientific logic and cost-effectiveness:

1. Scientific Reasoning:
UV and IR primarily enhance the flowering phase, but require precise time management. Blue and Deep Red
are essential for vegetative growth and flowering, and are easier to use since they sync directly with
your main LED light schedule, best for beginners.

2. Economic Advantage:
Bundled sets offer a full spectrum solution at a lower combined price, compared to buying each light
separately. This lowers the cost barrier for growers and saves on shipping fees. Whether you’re a
hobbyist or a commercial grower, bundles give you an efficient, future-proof setup at better value.
