Application: Suitable for pairing with main grow lights over 500W.
Features:
Blue Light: Enhances plant morphology during the vegetative stage by promoting compact growth and sturdy stems, laying the foundation for robust fruit development later.
Deep Red Light: Boosts flowering and fruiting, producing larger and stronger flowers and fruits. It also enriches the color of blooms and fruits while increasing fruit sweetness.
**Note: ADlite light bars may be shipped as a mix of new and old models. The cables and appearance may differ slightly between versions, but the spectrum, power, and performance for plant growth remain the same
Why Shop at Mars Hydro
Why choose standalone supplemental lights instead of integrated spectrum LEDs?
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.
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.

How should I use UV, IR, Red, and Blue supplemental lights for the best growing results?
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.
