I recently acquired the Adalite bundle from Mars Hydro during the Black Friday sale. Currently, I have the deep red bars and am awaiting the delivery of the remaining components.

Rather than mounting the lights directly onto the main lighting fixture, I have opted to wait until the entire set is received. In the interim, I am experimenting with their use as under-canopy lighting for supplemental illumination.

I am curious about the effectiveness of under-canopy lighting. While I have heard positive anecdotes, I am skeptical about its overall efficiency.

It is important to note that this setup is temporary. I intend to suspend the lights alongside my FC3000 EVO once the remaining sets arrive.

Once my UVA lights stop putting out which won't be to long from now. All I will use is what my HLG lights put out and move on.

I run Spider Farmer UV, IR, and Deep Red Supplement Bars.
I use them above canopy.

I do Supplement full spectrum bars under the canopy though, no more immature lower buds!

If your Supplement Bars don't come with a bracket to attach to your main lights, metal coat hangers and zip ties work wonders, then when you move your main light, the supplement bars move with it instead of being needed to be adjust individually.

As you can see in the picture, I took 2 metal coat hangers and straightened them and cut to size. Bent the tips to sit in the grooves on the back of my SE4500 light bars and then zip tied my Supplement Lights to them.
Moving all 6 bars individually would be a pain.
