Mitras LX – exceptional control, flexibility, and performance
The Mitras LX7 and Mitras LX7 IL series by GHL represent cutting-edge LED lighting solutions designed for aquarists who demand exceptional control, flexibility, and performance. These fixtures offer three distinct operating modes to adapt to a wide range of setups and preferences: Standalone, Master-Slave, and ProfiLux-Slave modes.
Additionally, the system integrates seamlessly with advanced technologies, making it ideal for both hobbyists and professionals.
Operation Modes
- Standalone Mode
In Standalone mode, each Mitras LX7 operates independently, utilizing its integrated control system. Users can program and manage lighting schedules, intensity, and spectral outputs directly on the fixture without the need for external controllers. This mode is ideal for aquarists who prefer a straightforward setup or operate a single light fixture. - Master-Slave Mode
For setups with multiple Mitras LX7 units, the Master-Slave configuration allows synchronized operation. In this mode, one fixture acts as the Master, controlling the settings and schedules of the Slave units. This ensures uniform lighting conditions across the aquarium. Communication between fixtures is facilitated by a dedicated internal radio module, which operates independently of Wi-Fi to prevent network interference. - ProfiLux-Slave Mode
Integrating the Mitras LX7 with GHL’s ProfiLux aquarium controller unlocks advanced capabilities. In this mode, the ProfiLux acts as the Master controller, managing one or more Mitras LX7 fixtures configured as Slaves. This arrangement enables centralized management of lighting alongside other aquarium parameters, creating a comprehensive and unified control system. To enable this communication, the ProfiLux Wireless Interface (PLM-PWC) expansion card is required.
Comprehensive Control via Wi-Fi and Beyond
A key feature of the Mitras LX7 and LX7 IL series is the ability to control and configure the Master unit—whether a Mitras LX (IL) in Master or Standalone mode or a ProfiLux 4 with PLM-PWC—via Wi-Fi. This independent connectivity layer is separate from the internal communication channel used between multiple Mitras fixtures or between the ProfiLux and Mitras Slaves.
Users can access manifold control options, including:
- App GHL Connect: A user-friendly mobile app for convenient configuration and real-time adjustments.
- Cloud Service myGHL: Remote access and management from anywhere, ensuring seamless operation across distances.
- Web Interface: Accessible through any standard browser for on-demand control.
- PC Software: A powerful tool for detailed configuration and advanced settings.
Open Architecture and Automation Integration
GHL’s open architecture design ensures that the Mitras LX7 and ProfiLux systems are future-proof and adaptable to advanced integrations. The system can connect to home or building automation systems through an available API, allowing integration with broader IoT ecosystems. This makes it an ideal solution for professional aquariums, research facilities, and aquarists who want to incorporate their systems into larger automation setups.
Conclusion
The Mitras LX7 and Mitras LX7 IL series provide unmatched flexibility, catering to both simple and complex aquarium setups. Whether operated in Standalone, Master-Slave, or ProfiLux-Slave mode, these fixtures deliver precise control, exceptional lighting performance, and seamless integration capabilities.
