The TrolMaster LMA-24 is a dedicated lantern-photoperiod lighting adapter for 0–10V-controlled HID and LED fixtures, using both lighting channels of a TrolMaster Hydro-X controller to automatically run a split vegetative lighting schedule. The programmed cycle is 12 hours ON → 5.5 hours OFF → 1 hour ON → 5.5 hours OFF, continuously repeating. This provides an automated night-interruption (“lantern”) schedule without requiring separate timers.
