The ProfiLux® 4e aquarium controller  offers advanced control for aquarists who value performance and affordability.

Engineered with the same commitment to quality as the ProfiLux 4, the ProfiLux 4e delivers reliable control for essential aquarium tasks like lighting, water parameter regulation, level management, flow measurement, and pump control.

While offering fewer features the ProfiLux 4e retains the advanced capabilities aquarists rely on. It supports temperature monitoring, level and flow sensors, and 1-10V interfaces, providing precise and efficient control at a more accessible price point.

ProfiLux 4e – Advanced Aquarium Control Made Accessible

The ProfiLux 4e delivers the essential features aquarists need for effective aquarium management, including precise control of lighting, water parameters, level management, flow measurement, and pump regulation. It comes equipped with integrated modules for temperature, a switchable pH/ORP input, and support for level and flow sensors, as well as 1-10V interfaces.

While the ProfiLux 4e includes a single pH/ORP input and omits the conductivity input found on the ProfiLux 4, it retains its core capabilities and superior performance. Less frequently used S ports for classic powerbars have also been streamlined, making the ProfiLux 4e a more accessible option without compromising on quality.

With built-in WiFi and USB, you can monitor and control your aquarium anytime via web interface, app, email notifications, or the myGHL cloud service. The ProfiLux 4e is future-ready, supporting upgrades through expansion cards or an expansion box, and is available in practical controller sets for convenience.

Should you need more features in the future, upgrading to the full functionality of ProfiLux 4 is easy with expansion cards or an expansion box. ProfiLux 4e is also available in attractive controller sets.
