I heard that with the new AC infinity AI controller you can use it to control other light brands with an adapter. I just preordered the controller but I wondering if anyone knew off hand which adapter I would need to get in order to hook it up to the Mars Hydro FC 3000-EVO.

I would wager an ounce on Type A.

Edit: after looking up the light model, you need the RJ11/12 type A adapter. – https://acinfinity.com/hydroponics-growers/uis-lighting-adapter-type-a-for-rj11-12-connector-lights-with-pwm-or-0-10v-dimmers/

There are no UIS connectors on some off brand equipment (to control brightness) but you can control the power, turning the light on and off with the adapter plug. You’ll need to manually adjust the brightness on the light fixture.

I have one of these for the majority. Off/On when you want, set a schedule for timers and even see how much electricity the thing uses per hour, day etc. per plug.

One of the best purchases I made.

AC Infinity does have adapters for certain lights (see AC Infinity’s website), and some other lighting brands do now support UIS. You’d need to check with your vendor, otherwise it’s the on/off switch @jmystro linked above.

His light does have UIS control after looking it up. It’s new enough that it would use the RJ11/12 type A. The type B would be for older dimmer tech that uses a resister.

I use the adapters to run spider farmer bar and board lights. as others have said search aci’s website and see which one you need. for spider farmer its the type “b” adapter. their 14.99 on Amazon and you should be able to use dude15 for a small discount. I run a few of them and they are great!

Hi just have a look on your LED Driver and follow this ;)

FC, FC-E, SP, and TS Series Models with Self-Branded drivers can use Type-A Adapter

and Type-B adapter if your model has a MOSO or MEANWELL driver.

My Mars Hydro FC 1500 evo has a self-branded one and it´s working fine with Type-A
