Profilux Light
We are pleased to introduce the Profilux Light to the UK market for the first time. “The Intelligent Plugbar”

Ever wanted temperature control, Tunze Stream control, Plug Timers, LED weather simulation, Dimmable T5 lighting control, PC interface and data recording all in one unique self contained plug bar unit... Profilux Light is that unit!

The Profilux Light is a plugbar with the computer built into the actual plugbar and has the following ports available for use:
4 x UK 240v sockets: Which can be controlled either as timed sockets, or responsive to the temperature sensor.
Temperature Port: For the addition of a temperature sensor so that you can control heaters, fans or lighting that will automatically switch off for the day if your temperature exceeds a certain value.
2 x Low voltage 1-10v ports: Each port has 2 channels each. Each channel can be used to control Tunze Streams or GHL LED simulation lighting or Dimmable T5 lighting units.
PC Port (RS232 Serial) for connection to a PC for control/data recording by the FREE Profilux Control Software.

This unit can be used in many situations, its name is derived from it’s Lighting functions and is perfectly suited for large tanks where you want a controller to mount onto a lighting rig, set up and forget about it!
For small/nano tanks where separate monitors are used currently or full parameter measurement isn’t required.

This unit is not expandable and cannot accept any of the GHL expansion cards, but provides many of the great GHL Profilux functions in a neat and exceptionally functional way.

We currently have a small stock available for immediate order from our retailers:

The Profilux main unit SRP £175.95

Accesories for use with the Profilux Light:
Temperature Probe: SRP £34.69
PC RS232 serial Cable: SRP £6.19
Tunze Stream Control Kit (to run 2 groups of pumps): SRP £25.85
Profilux Simu LED Stick/Spot (full weather Simulation Sunrise/Sunset, Moonlight and Storms) SRP: £89.99
T5 Dimmable lighting: See www.ghl-profilux.co.uk (http://www.ghl-profilux.co.uk) website for more details.


I'll update this picture tomorrow with a photo of the UK unit, It is identical apart from having UK sockets built in.


Steve.

Excellent! Thought I was going to have to buy a 4th (!) unit just to run the lights on my big tank. Can you tell me what the Amp rating is for each of the four plug sockets? Can some take surge, others not?

Regards,

Keith

Hi,

They are 10A surge protected sockets with a total wattage of 2300w. I would still recommend using a contactor with large metal halides, as these can draw silly amounts of current when trying to fire old lamps.

Steve, do you know how long the unit is, the standard 6 way bar is really long and I'm just wondering if this would fit under the nano.

Also, it's not in the list, but I assume it'll also run the PropellerControl unit for variable speed fan control?

A Picture and measurements :D, and it will run propellor control.

Yes to both of those, it is basically a full controller, so you get all the benefits of LED lighting, feeding pause, maintenance modes etc, just with less ports and not expandable.

Cheers
