Answers to the most common questions about the LX8
When will it ship?
From October 1, 2026.
Is there a pre-order promotion?
Yes. Over the coming months, we’ll be offering the first batch of the LX8 for pre-order at a significant price advantage. The introductory price applies until the quota sells out – at the latest until the end of August. Details on pricing and how it works will follow soon.
What mounting options are available?
Three: ceiling mounting with cable suspensions, attachment to the tank rim with the Mounting Arm (clamping width 48 mm – also suitable for aquariums with bracing), and attachment to the back of the cabinet with the Flexmount 3.
How does the Mitras LX8 differ from the LX7 series?
The two series are similar in many respects: good color mixing and deep light penetration thanks to the special reflectors. Beyond that, the LX8 offers more power (250 W instead of 190 W), a new Wi-Fi module with OTA updates, 12 color channels instead of 9, a dedicated moonlight, Ambient Glow, and wider coverage – owing to the higher power and the more widely spaced LED clusters. The three LX8 versions (Freshwater, Marine, and Coral Pop) largely match the respective LX7 versions in terms of emitted light. Thanks to the additional LED channels, however, the LX8 spectrum is somewhat more continuous; on the Coral Pop and Marine versions, the proportion in the blue-to-UV range is slightly higher.
Will the LX7 remain available?
Yes. The LX7 is still a first-class light and well suited to many applications. It is positioned below the LX8 in price and will remain in the lineup.
Can I connect the LX8 to ProfiLux?
Yes. Like the LX7, it communicates wirelessly with the ProfiLux 4 – which can then take over control, and Ambient Glow can display the system status if desired. The LX8 can also be run in standalone or master-slave mode.
How do I operate the LX8?
The LX8 offers maximum flexibility here: connection via Wi-Fi, or USB as a backup. It can be operated via app, web server, cloud, or PC software.
