Description
The Light Rail Add-A-Lamp Kit is the ultimate solution for extending your grow light mover system, allowing growers to efficiently move a second or third indoor grow light from a single LightRail light mover motor. Designed for LightRail 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.20, this kit enhances grow light coverage, reduces shading, and ensures even light distribution for optimal plant growth.
With pre-installed Extreme Duty Trolley Wheels, rated for up to 60 lbs, the Add-A-Lamp Kit offers smooth and reliable performance, supporting additional grow lights in an automated indoor growing system.
Key Features and Benefits
Move Multiple Grow Lights with One LightRail System
- Expands grow light coverage: Move an additional grow light in-line for wider plant exposure.
- Supports up to three lights: Connect multiple Add-A-Lamp Kits for a larger grow area.
- Pre-installed Extreme Duty Trolley Wheels: Designed for heavy-duty use, supporting up to 60 lbs.
- Works with existing LightRail systems: Fully compatible with LightRail 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.20.
This innovative system eliminates the need for multiple motors, making grow light automation more efficient and cost-effective.
What's Included in the Add-A-Lamp Kit?
The Add-A-Lamp Kit comes as a complete package, providing everything needed to integrate an additional grow light into your system seamlessly:
- Two-piece, 2-meter LightRail Rail (6'6" total length)
- 6' push/pull rod for controlled movement
- Auxiliary Trolley with Extreme Duty Trolley Wheels
- Complete hardware set for secure mounting
- Step-by-step installation instructions
How the Add-A-Lamp Kit Works
Simple Integration with LightRail Systems
The Add-A-Lamp Kit extends grow light automation by adding an extra rail and trolley, allowing another indoor grow light to move along the system. The push/pull rod connects to the Auxiliary Trolley, ensuring synchronized movement with the LightRail motor, optimizing light spread and reducing plant shading.
This setup allows the grower to adjust:
- Run length: Modify the distance the light travels.
- Grow light spacing: Customize light placement for maximum efficiency.
Custom Configurations for Two or Three Grow Lights
Depending on the size of the grow space, multiple Add-A-Lamp Kits can be used:
- Pair an Add-A-Lamp Kit with a LightRail 3.5 or 4.0 Kit for two grow lights in-line.
- Combine two Add-A-Lamp Kits with a LightRail 3.5 or 4.0 Kit for three grow lights in-line.
- For LightRail 4.20: The kit includes one Add-A-Lamp Kit for easy expansion.
This modular system allows growers to expand their indoor growing operation efficiently.
Optimizing Grow Light Spacing for Maximum Yield
Adjustable Rail Gaps for Custom Setup
In DIY light mover configurations, growers can refine their light coverage by utilizing 1-3 foot gaps between rail halves. This allows:
- More flexible light positioning
- Better coverage of "gap plants" from both sides
- Improved efficiency in indoor grow rooms
For larger LED grow lights, the Add-A-Lamp Kit integrates seamlessly with RoboBars and extra hardware, ensuring:
- Smooth movement over gapped rails
- Optimized light coverage for more expansive growing areas
Recommended Settings for Light Movement
Travel Distance and Time Delay
- Suggested travel distance: About 3 feet (1 meter) switch stop to switch stop, ensuring the 6'6" (2m) rail length is fully utilized.
- Time delay setting: 20-30 seconds, with a maximum of 60 seconds for larger LED grow lights.
These settings help maximize light exposure while preventing plant stress from excessive movement.
