Lantern Schedule Lighting Adapter Compatible with 0-10V

Automating a Lantern Lighting Schedule on Hydro-X

A lantern lighting schedule is a vegetative-growth routine: 12 hours of light, 5.5 hours dark, 1 hour of light, then 5.5 hours dark again, repeating. The short 1-hour light period in the middle of the dark cycle keeps plants from sensing a true long night, holding them in vegetative growth.

The TrolMaster LMA-24 lighting adapter uses two channels on a Hydro-X system to create this schedule for any grow light using a 0-10V control protocol, converting the system's digital signal into the analog signal those lights expect.
