Who This Is For

  • You are automating light cycles because manual adjustments on multiple NextGen units take up too much of your day.
  • You are adding temperature-activated dimming because a failed AC unit could burn your canopy before you get to the shop.

What We Found

  • The IP65 cables are the real win here since they stay tight and signal-stable even in dripping wet environments.
  • This is the only reliable way we have found to bring those older NextGen Pro units into a modern automated workflow.

What Users Say

  • Users managing 100 or more fixtures say the ability to dim the entire room from one dial saves them hours of labor.
  • Growers who had HVAC failures say the auto-dimming feature saved their biomass from total loss during heat spikes.

Secret Lighting LED Lighting Retro Controller

Managing environmental factors in a grow room can be a logistical challenge without centralized control. The Secret Lighting LED Lighting Retro Controller provides a professional-grade solution for growers looking to automate their lighting cycles and protect their crops from heat stress. This unit is specifically engineered to be compatible with older NextGen Pro Series models, bridging the gap between manual operation and high-tech automation.

This controller is a perfect match for current favorites like the Secret Lighting SL-680 MEGA and the SL-760 STEALTH. By integrating this unit into your setup, you gain the ability to fine-tune light intensity and schedules for up to 250 fixtures simultaneously, making it an essential tool for both boutique gardens and commercial operations. The IP65 water-tight dimming cables ensure that your signal path remains stable even in high-humidity environments.

Beyond simple timing, the Retro Controller features advanced safety protocols such as temperature-activated dimming. If your grow room exceeds safe heat thresholds, the controller automatically reduces the output on your SL-1000 STEALTH units to prevent plant damage. NOTE: The Secret Lighting Retro Control does not work with the SL-830 UV/IR Ghost grow light due to its unique channel configuration. Explore the full range of Secret Lighting LED grow lights to build a fully automated environment.
