Smart Cooling for Lasting Performance
With the Mitras LX7, you never have to worry about overheating. Our intelligent cooling system—combining active, passive, and microprocessor-controlled regulation—ensures your LEDs deliver maximum brightness and last for over 80,000 hours.
- Whisper-Quiet Active Cooling: High-performance, temperature-controlled fans adjust their speed automatically, keeping noise levels to a minimum.
- Efficient Passive Cooling: A robust, anodized aluminum heat sink (DIN 81249-1) efficiently dissipates heat, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Intelligent Protection: If temperatures rise despite cooling, the built-in microprocessor gradually reduces brightness until safe operating conditions are restored.
This advanced system keeps your LEDs and electronics in peak condition, so you can enjoy brilliant, reliable lighting for years to come.
99% Light Reflection
The Mitras LX7 showcases GHL’s innovative Total Reflection and Diffusion Technology (TRDT™). Each LED is equipped with its own microreflector, nestled within a larger field reflector.
This precision-engineered design, combined with a highly efficient reflector material boasting a reflection and diffusion rate of nearly 100%, delivers unparalleled light performance. By achieving an optimal balance between light spread and immersion depth, it clearly outshines traditional secondary optics, particularly lenses.
Expect a flawless, uniform blend of colors without the distracting “disco-effect” common in other brands.
Interchangeable LED Clusters
Stay ahead with Mitras luminaires, designed for effortless upgrades.
Experience superior illumination with interchangeable LED clusters featuring 72 high-power LEDs (min. 150 lumens/watt for white LEDs) for optimal color mixing and uniform lighting. The marine version includes Hyper Violet (HV) and UV LEDs, ensuring vibrant and natural colors.
Swapping LED clusters is quick and easy, allowing you to take advantage of the latest advancements in lighting technology.

Crystal-Clear Protection Screen
The screen made of highly transparent acrylic guarantees optimal light output and uniformity.
This special acrylic glass has a very high transmission for a broad light spectrum.
Why it matters for you:
- Uncompromised brightness – No dimming or color shifting, just pure, vibrant light.
- Long-lasting clarity – Resistant to yellowing and clouding over time.
- Easy maintenance – Smooth surface repels water and dirt, making cleaning effortless.
Cutting-Edge LED Technology
We use specially selected, next-generation LEDs from Cree® and OSRAM® (e.g., XPG3, XPE2, Oslon) with a CRI >95, delivering exceptional color accuracy. The LEDs are operated at peak efficiency—not maximum current—to extend lifespan (>80,000 hours LM80) and maximize energy efficiency.
Choose between High Output Mode for maximum brightness or High Efficiency Mode for optimized energy savings without compromising quality.
