The next generation of Mitras LX is coming soon from GHL! The LX8 comes in two finishes and three models, and is currently being field-tested and evaluated. The specifications on this page are preliminary and may still be subject to minor changes. Pricing and pre-order details will be coming in the near future, and shipping is scheduled to being on October 1. The three models are:

LX 8006 for freshwater. Tuned for plant photosynthesis and fish coloration across the full visible range. 4 different white temperatures form a natural daylight base, with red and hyper-red components feeding chlorophyll, plus accents in blue and the mid band. Widely adjustable from warm to cool daylight.

LX 8206 for marine. A reef-tuned spectrum balanced across the full visible range — from sub-370 nm UV to near-IR. A strong accent between UV and light blue drives coral coloration, while substantial whites keep fish in full color. Widely adjustable between bluish-crisp and brighter, more open daylight.

LX 8506, the “Coral Pop.” A blue- and violet-heavy spectrum engineered for the strongest fluorescence response. Starting below 370 nm and spanning the visible range, with a pronounced concentration in the UV-to-deep-blue region. Widely adjustable from full actinic to a brighter, balanced look — fluorescence stays intense throughout.

WiFi is built in. Control the LX8 from the GHL Connect app on iOS or Android, from any browser via the built-in web server, from a PC through GHL Control Center, or from anywhere in the world via the optional myGHL cloud service — simultaneously, no extra hub or bridge required. Every user interface works directly on your home network without an internet connection. The cloud is there when you want remote access; never required when you don’t.

A dedicated radio for fixture-to-fixture communication. Multi-LX8 installations and ProfiLux integration run on their own band — staying perfectly in sync without competing with your home WiFi for bandwidth. OTA firmware updates roll out wirelessly. USB stays on board as a backup path.
