These adapter dongles let an AC Infinity UIS controller drive a grow light that isn't an AC Infinity light. Pick the type that matches how your light dims — Type-A for RJ11/RJ12 fixtures using PWM or 0-10V, Type-B for older RJ11/RJ12 fixtures using resistor dimming, Type-D for wiring straight into the DIM+ and DIM- terminals on an LED driver. Once it's connected, your light joins the same schedules, light cycles and climate triggers as the rest of your UIS gear.

Specifications
- Your light's dimming method decides the type, not its brand or wattage. The manual will name it.
- Type-D dimming wires are low voltage and usually purple and grey. Strip about 5 mm, DIM+ into the plus terminal, DIM- into the minus, and tighten the screws properly.
- Keep the controller firmware current or it may not recognise the adapter.
- Wire one light and test the full dimming range before you commit the rest of the room to it.

Questions Growers Ask
Will this work with any grow light?
No. Compatibility comes down to the specific model and its dimming method. AC Infinity supports a long list of fixtures from brands like Mars Hydro, Spider Farmer, HLG, ViparSpectra, Volt and Medic Grow, but not every model within those brands. Check your light's manual for its dimming type before ordering, and ask us if it isn't clear.
Which type do I need?
It depends on how your light dims. Type-A suits RJ11/RJ12 fixtures using PWM or 0-10V dimming. Type-B suits older RJ11/RJ12 fixtures using resistor dimming. Type-D is for lights where you wire directly into the driver's DIM+ and DIM- control wires.
Does the adapter power my controller?
No. Lighting adapters pass control signal only. Your controller still needs power from a connected UIS device such as a CLOUDLINE fan, or from a separate UIS power adapter. This catches people out when a controller is running lights and nothing else.
Can I run these through a UIS Splitter Hub?
No. The UIS Splitter Hub is not compatible with RJ11/12 Type-A or Type-B adapters. Lighting adapters need their own port on the controller.
Can I control more than one light from one adapter?
Yes, if your lights support daisy-chaining. Link the fixtures using the manufacturer's own daisy-chain method, then run the adapter from the first light in the chain to your controller.
What do the Type-D dimming wires look like?
They are the low-voltage control wires coming off the LED driver, commonly purple and grey, marked DIM+ and DIM- or similar. Strip roughly 5 mm of insulation, seat each wire in its matching terminal, and tighten the screws down firmly.
