The Luxor Wi-Fi system by FX Luminaire is the next step in control for landscape lighting, adding onto the already versatile and limitless capabilities of the Luxor ZD. Zoning and dimming are now controllable with iOS and Android devices for on-the-fly control. For example, the lights can be initiated immediately when walking outside to have dinner or going to the pool, then dimmed to set a mood, then return to normal schedule when finished.

Add wireless control to any current Luxor ZD system with the latest firmware update and a Luxor Wi-Fi Module. Take instant advantage of iOS or Android device control, wireless light assignment, and the ability to link multiple Luxor ZD systems.


EFFORTLESS WIRELESS FIXTURE ASSIGNMENT

Breakthrough technology is now a feature of all FX LED fixtures with ZD Technology and Luxor controllers with Wi-Fi installed. Using a smartphone or tablet and the new Light Assignment Module device, every fixture attached to a Luxor ZD system can be wirelessly assigned to a group using ActivAssign™ technology.

Plug the LAM into the smart device and enter Assignment Mode, choose the new fixture group, point the LAM at the light, and you're done.

Residential Lighting Control

It used to be that lighting was one of the last things a homeowner thought about when building or remodeling a home. But today’s consumers today are more aware than ever of the impact that lighting has on their homes. Whether you’re a distributor, a contractor, or designer that specifies what lighting goes into a new build or remodel—you want to be able to deliver what your customers want.

Customers care about saving. Homeowners today are concerned about saving money. Lighting can account for as much as 20 percent of a household’s yearly electricity usage. No wonder homeowners are more and more concerned about what kind of lighting is going into their homes.

Saving Energy

Customers are serious about saving energy. The whole “green building” and “green remodeling” movement has picked up a lot of momentum. Not only are homeowners interested in the financial savings that come from using less energy but they’re also interested in reducing their impact on the environment. Lighting control that reduces energy use is a big deal to an increasing number of homeowners.

Customers care about comfort. Energy savings and financial savings aren’t the only things homeowners want from their lighting systems. Lighting plays an increasingly larger role in helping to create just the right mood and ambiance for every room in a house. Homeowners want to be able to customize their lighting—for individual rooms and for specific activities. That means they want to be able to adjust their lights for things as different as reading a book, watching a movie, making dinner, or helping kids with homework.

Why should you care?

If you’re able to provide customers with what they want, you’ll be the “go-to-source” for all their lighting needs. The good news is that light controls—such as dimmers, occupancy sensors, and daylight sensors that can have a big impact on a home’s electric bill and ability to create the right mood—are simple to install and easy to retrofit into any space.
