Lantern Schedule Adapter

The lantern lighting schedule is a lighting routine that enhances the growth of the plants in vegetative stage. The lighting schedule consists of having lights on for 12 hours, turning the lights off for 5.5 hours, turning it back on for 1 hour and finally turning the lights off for another 5.5 hours. This 24 hour schedule is then repeated for a plant’s vegetative stage. Turning the lights on for an hour in between the off hours inhibits florigen production. In turn, this prompts the plant to stay in a high growth, vegetative state.

This LMA-24 lighting adapter is specially designed to use both two channels on the Hydro-X system to create a lantern schedule control for any lights with 0-10V protocol. It is compatible with HIDs like Gavita/Nanolux/Luxx/Growers Choice/Illuminar/PL and LEDs like Fluence/Next light/Spectrum King;

*LMA-24 is designed for lights with 0-10V protocol control

TrolMaster’s Hydro-X system can control most of the horticultural lighting fixtures sold on the market today. Most light manufacturers provide the ability to control their lighting systems using what known as a low-volt control. That low-volt control can take many forms and communication protocols. TrolMaster makes several types of lighting adapters (LMA units) that allow the Hydro-x to control lights using their low-volt control option.
