TrolMaster - Hydro X Lighting Control Adapters

The TrolMaster Hydro-X Lighting Control Adapters allow growers to connect and control a wide range of grow lights through the Hydro-X environmental control system. These adapters translate the control signal from the Hydro-X controller so it can communicate properly with different lighting brands and driver protocols.

For indoor growing in a grow tent or grow room, lighting control is essential for managing vegetative growth, the bloom stage and overall plant health. By using the correct Hydro-X lighting adapter, growers can automate dimming and on/off functions, helping maintain stable light intensity throughout the crop cycle. This improves plant development, supports stronger flowering and helps maximise yield while preventing light stress.

These adapters are commonly used with HID, CMH and LED grow lights that use specific communication protocols or 0–10V dimming systems.

Key Benefits

• Enables Hydro-X control of multiple lighting brands
• Allows automatic dimming and on/off lighting schedules
• Supports stable light intensity for vegetative growth and flowering
• Helps prevent excessive stretch and light stress in indoor growing environments
• Compatible with many HID, CMH and LED fixtures used in hydroponics and grow rooms
• Simple plug-and-play integration with the Hydro-X control system

How It Solves Grow Problems

Inconsistent lighting intensity can lead to excessive stretch during vegetative growth, weak plant structure and poor bud density during flowering. Manual lighting adjustments also make it difficult to maintain a consistent grow room environment.

Hydro-X Lighting Control Adapters solve this by allowing the Hydro-X controller to automatically manage light intensity and schedules. This creates a stable indoor growing environment that supports stronger plant health, balanced vegetative growth and improved yields in hydroponic systems, coco or soil setups.

Available Adapter Types

• LMA-10 – Controls Gavita lighting systems
• LMA-14 (F Type) – Designed for LED fixtures and lighting with 0–10V protocol, including Luxx, Grower’s Choice, NanoLux, Gavita, Fluence, Bios, Scynce, Meanwell 2-wire 0–10V drivers and 0–10V ballasts. Also required when controlling Lumatek or Maxibright LED fixtures with the Hydro-X system.
• LMA-12 – Controls Dimlux ballasts
• LMA-15 – Controls DLI ballasts
• LMA-T – Designed for ThinkGrow LED fixtures

How to Use

1. Connect the chosen LMA lighting adapter to the Hydro-X controller lighting port.

2. Attach the adapter output to the compatible lighting fixture or ballast control port.

3. Ensure the correct adapter model is used for the specific light brand or driver protocol.

4. Configure lighting schedules and dimming levels within the Hydro-X controller settings.

5. The system will now automatically control light intensity and on/off cycles to maintain optimal conditions for indoor growing.
