Targeted UV & Far-Red Power: Mars Hydro ADLite Supplemental LED Bars for Advanced Grow Setups

The Mars Hydro ADLite UV 27W + IR 15W Supplemental LED Bars Combo is designed to enhance advanced indoor grow setups by adding targeted ultraviolet (365–370nm) and infrared far-red (730–745nm) wavelengths. These bars are not standalone grow lights — they are precision spectrum boosters built to work alongside high-output LED fixtures (500W+).

What’s Included

• 2 × ADLite UV 55 bars (27W each)
• 2 × ADLite IR 30 bars (15W each)
• Plastic mounting racks
• Hanging ropes

Why Add UV & IR to Your Grow?

• UV (365–370nm): Encourages production of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids and resins, supporting plant defense mechanisms and enhancing flower quality.
• IR / Far-Red (730–745nm): Penetrates deeper into plant tissue, promotes stem elongation, and can assist in accelerating flowering cycles in photoperiod-sensitive plants.

Important: ADLite bars are supplemental lighting tools and should be used in combination with a full-spectrum LED grow light.

Ideal For

Growers running high-output LED systems (500W+) who want to fine-tune spectrum for bloom optimization, canopy penetration, and advanced cultivation strategies.

When & How to Use UV and IR Supplemental Lighting

UV and far-red (IR) lighting are advanced spectrum tools designed for experienced growers looking to optimize flower development, canopy structure, and plant stress response. These bars should be used strategically and in moderation.

Using UV (365–370nm)

• Best applied during late vegetative or flowering stages.
• Encourages production of secondary metabolites and resin development.
• Run in short intervals (1–3 hours per day) to avoid plant stress.
• Always avoid direct human eye or skin exposure.

Using IR / Far-Red (730–745nm)

• Can help accelerate flowering in photoperiod-sensitive plants.
• Often used at "lights off" transition to trigger faster phytochrome response.
• Promotes stem elongation and deeper canopy penetration.
• Use carefully to prevent excessive stretching.

Pro Tip: Supplemental spectrum is most effective when paired with high-intensity full-spectrum LED systems (500W+). Always monitor plant response and adjust duration gradually.

Important Safety & Usage Notice

UV light can be harmful to eyes and skin. Avoid direct exposure and never look directly at illuminated diodes. Use protective eyewear when operating UV lighting.
