Quick Answer

Compatible with all Luxx Lighting fixtures, controls up to 80 ballasts across 2 outputs.
24-hour timer with inverse function, output level adjustable from 50-115%.
Auto-dim and auto-shutdown at a set temperature, plus sunrise/sunset simulation.
2 temperature sensors, suited to running two rooms on separate 12/12 cycles.
Ballast type selectable: 315/400/600/630/750/1000W.
Output display switchable between watts or percentage. 3-year warranty.

The NX-1 is built to take manual lighting adjustments out of your daily routine. Rather than checking and adjusting fixtures by hand, it runs your entire lighting schedule, output level, and temperature-based safety cutoffs automatically, across up to 80 ballasts split between two independent outputs.

What It Actually Controls

The NX-1 handles a 24-hour on/off timer with an inverse function for flexible scheduling, output level adjustment from 50% to 115% for dialling in exact intensity, and ballast type selection across the common 315W to 1000W range so it matches whatever fixtures you're actually running. You can switch the output display between watts or percentage depending on how you prefer to read it. A built-in sunrise and sunset period ramps light levels up and down gradually rather than switching instantly, which reduces stress on plants at the start and end of each light cycle.

Running Two Rooms Independently

With 2 outputs and 2 temperature sensors, the NX-1 is genuinely set up for running two separate spaces on different schedules, useful if you're running a 12/12 flower room and a vegetative space simultaneously. Each output supports up to 40 ballasts, for a total of 80 across both channels, whether that's split evenly across two rooms or concentrated in one larger space.

Temperature-Based Safety

Beyond scheduling, the NX-1 auto-dims and can fully auto-shutdown fixtures if room temperature exceeds a set threshold. This matters most in enclosed spaces where a ventilation failure or unexpected heatwave could otherwise push canopy temperature into dangerous territory before anyone notices. Having the controller respond automatically is a genuine safeguard, not just a convenience feature.

Suitable For

Any grow space running Luxx Lighting fixtures where you want automated scheduling, output control, and temperature safety rather than manual daily adjustment. Particularly useful for anyone running two rooms on different light cycles simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many lights can the NX-1 control?

Up to 80 ballasts total, split across 2 outputs of 40 ballasts each. This can run as one large group or two independent rooms on separate schedules.

Does it work with non-Luxx fixtures?

It's built and tested for compatibility with the full Luxx Lighting fixture range, selecting your specific ballast type (315/400/600/630/750/1000W) during setup.

What happens if my grow room overheats?

The NX-1 auto-dims and can auto-shutdown fixtures at a temperature threshold you set, acting as a genuine safety backstop if ventilation fails or ambient temperature spikes unexpectedly.
