Mars Hydro ADlite IR 30 730-745nm Far-Red Bar | 15W Per Bar

Precision Control in Any Space

The enemy is guesswork — and the silent cost it imposes compounds every cycle. When far-red delivery is uncontrolled, photoperiod transitions become inconsistent events rather than engineered inputs. Operators running limited-space production environments absorb that cost as cycle-to-cycle variance: uneven flowering onset, inconsistent canopy response, and the accumulated yield drag of a light recipe that was never actually dialed in. Manual timer workarounds introduce their own failure modes — missed windows, operator error, and the chronic uncertainty of not knowing whether the Emerson Effect was triggered at all. That uncertainty is not a minor inconvenience; it is a structural inefficiency baked into every run.

After deployment, the picture changes. Far-red transitions happen on schedule, every cycle, without operator intervention. The 15-minute pre-dawn and 15-minute post-dusk IR windows run automatically, delivering the photoperiod signal that drives reliable flowering response across the canopy. Each bar operates independently on its own power connection, so integration into an existing room layout requires no rewiring and no controller dependency. The facility runs tighter, the light recipe executes as designed, and the variance that was previously absorbed as yield loss is eliminated at the source.

The mechanism behind that outcome is straightforward. Each ADlite IR 30 bar outputs at 730-745nm — the far-red band that activates the Emerson Enhancement Effect when delivered at the correct photoperiod boundaries. At 15W per bar, the set draws 30W total, making it a low-overhead addition to any room running a main fixture over 500W. The prescribed protocol is 30 minutes of daily IR operation: 15 minutes before the main light activates and 15 minutes after it extinguishes. This window is compatible with the Mars Hydro iTime 2-in-1 Smart Timer or iHub Pro for automated scheduling, eliminating the manual control dead zone entirely. Each bar ships with its own independent power plug, enabling flexible positioning — including embedded installation within Mars Hydro FC / FCE fixtures via the bracket system. In practical terms, the ADlite IR 30 delivers 730-745nm far-red output at 15W per bar across a two-bar set, operating 30 minutes daily at the photoperiod boundaries of any main fixture rated over 500W.

Where This Belongs (and Doesn't)

Electrical installation must comply with all applicable local codes. Consult a licensed electrician before modifying existing circuits. HVAC load calculations should account for supplemental fixture additions. This product is a supplemental light source and is not designed to replace a primary full-spectrum grow light.

How It Works

The ADlite IR 30 operates on a single-channel far-red architecture. Each bar in the two-bar set emits at 730-745nm — the wavelength range that drives the Emerson Enhancement Effect, a photobiological response in which far-red photons delivered at the boundary of a light period amplify the photosynthetic efficiency of the preceding white-light exposure. The mechanism requires precise timing: the far-red signal must arrive at the correct photoperiod window to produce the intended response. Delivering it outside that window — or not delivering it at all — means the enhancement effect does not occur, and the energy cost of the main fixture is not fully leveraged.

The prescribed operating protocol for the ADlite IR 30 is 30 minutes of daily runtime: 15 minutes before the main light activates (simulating a dawn far-red signal) and 15 minutes after the main light extinguishes (simulating a dusk far-red signal). This protocol is designed to be automated via the Mars Hydro iHub Pro smart control hub or the iTime 2-in-1 Smart Timer, both of which support independent scheduling of supplemental bars separate from the main fixture schedule. Each ADlite IR 30 bar is independently powered with its own plug, meaning the two bars in the set can be positioned and scheduled without dependency on each other or on the main fixture's control circuit.

Installation flexibility is a deliberate design parameter. The bars can be mounted at custom positions within the canopy zone or embedded directly into Mars Hydro FC and FCE series fixtures using the manufacturer's bracket system, enabling integrated far-red delivery from within the primary fixture footprint. At 15W per bar and 30W total set draw, the thermal load added to the room is minimal, and the passive cooling design of the bar-style form factor requires no active thermal management. In practical terms, the ADlite IR 30 delivers 730-745nm far-red output at 15W per bar across a two-bar set, with independent power connections and bracket-compatible mounting for integration into Mars Hydro FC / FCE fixtures.

Commercial Assurance

• Authorized Distribution: Cannafull Spectrum Solutions is a factory-authorized dealer for Mars Hydro ADlite supplemental light bars. Units ship as genuine manufacturer product.
• Warranty Coverage: Warranty period is not specified in available source data. Contact Cannafull Spectrum Solutions at support@cannafullspec.com to confirm current warranty terms before purchase.
• Compliance Posture: ADlite IR 30 bars are independently powered supplemental fixtures. Verify that supplemental fixture additions comply with your facility's electrical permit and inspection requirements.
• Scalable Deployment: The two-bar set format supports scalable deployment across multiple rooms or canopy zones without requiring a centralized control infrastructure — each bar operates on its own power connection.
• Support Access: Pre-purchase technical questions and post-sale support are available through Cannafull Spectrum Solutions. Contact: support@cannafullspec.com.

System Integration

• Primary Fixture Requirement: Designed for use alongside main grow lights rated over 500W. The ADlite IR 30 is a supplemental channel, not a standalone light source.
• Smart Control Compatibility: Compatible with the Mars Hydro iHub Pro smart control hub and the iTime 2-in-1 Smart Timer for automated scheduling of the 30-minute daily IR window independent of the main fixture schedule.
• Fixture Embedding: Bars can be embedded into Mars Hydro FC and FCE series fixtures using the manufacturer's bracket system, enabling far-red delivery from within the primary fixture's mounting position.
• Independent Power Architecture: Each ADlite IR 30 bar ships with its own power plug. No daisy-chain dependency between bars or between the supplemental set and the main fixture control circuit.
• ADlite Ecosystem Expansion: The IR 30 set can be deployed alongside ADlite UV 55 (365-370nm), ADlite Deep Red 55 (660nm), and ADlite Blue 55 (440nm) bars for a full four-channel supplemental light recipe. The complete kit with iHub Pro is available as a bundled SKU.

Operator Field Notes

• Timer Precision Is Non-Negotiable: The Emerson Enhancement Effect requires far-red delivery at the correct photoperiod boundary. A manual timer with drift tolerance greater than one minute introduces protocol variance. Use the iHub Pro or iTime 2-in-1 Smart Timer for reliable automated execution.
• Do Not Extend Runtime Beyond Protocol: The prescribed IR window is 30 minutes daily — 15 minutes pre-dawn and 15 minutes post-dusk. Extended far-red exposure outside this window does not amplify the effect and may interfere with the photoperiod signal.
• Independent Power Is an Asset, Not a Limitation: Each bar ships with its own plug. This means bars can be positioned independently across the canopy zone without running new control wiring. Use this flexibility to address uneven canopy coverage.
• Bracket Embedding Changes the Geometry: When installed in Mars Hydro FC / FCE fixtures via the bracket system, the IR bars deliver far-red from the same mounting position as the primary fixture. This eliminates angular delivery variance that occurs when supplemental bars are mounted at a different height or angle than the main light.
• Scale the IR Channel First: When building out a full ADlite supplemental stack (UV, IR, Red, Blue), deploy and validate the IR channel timing protocol before adding UV. UV requires a separate 10-minutes-per-hour flowering-stage protocol that must be managed independently.
• Low Thermal Overhead Is a Real Operational Advantage: At 30W total set draw with passive cooling, the ADlite IR 30 adds negligible heat load to the room. No active cooling adjustment is required for the supplemental fixture itself.
