DIG - Solar Powered Irrigation Controller - LEIT-1

LEIT-1 Ambient Light, Solar Powered Controller

The LEIT 1 single-station ambient light (solar) powered controller with DC latching solenoid is available with three adapters to fits most Rain Bird, Hunter, K-Rain and Toro valves. Powered by a photovoltaic module with a patented microelectronic energy management system, the LEIT 1 requires no batteries, AC power, or direct sunlight to operate, and can be installed above grade in any location where there is ambient light. 

The LEIT-1 requires no direct sunlight and can obtain enough power from surrounding light to operate both day and night in any weather condition. In addition, the LEIT-1 employs SimpleSmart programming which automatically adjusts irrigation schedules monthly to help eliminate over and under watering, ensuring a healthy landscape while saving water.
