1. Lux: A unit of illumination equal to 1 lumen per square meter. 2. Lux: Light (of the sun and stars); Bright light.
For nearly a century, our Wheelock product lines have stood for innovation. A trusted product line with proven experience, Eaton offers many industry firsts. From designing the industry’s first xenon fire alarm strobes to developing the industry’s first LED strobes, we’ve utilized our engineering expertise of 100 plus years of combined fire experience to perfect our latest design.
Introducing Eluxa: Our best-in-class, next-generation life safety notification devices.
Eluxa features a complete portfolio of indoor notification appliances with a comprehensive range of low and high candela settings. Utilizing the latest advancements in LED technology, Eluxa provides one of the industry’s lowest current draw over the full candela range, offering significant savings to you by reducing installation costs, materials, and overall fire alarm system costs.
Competitive models can draw up to 3 times the current, and an average circuit consumes 70% more current than Eluxa devices. This substantially reduces overall power consumption, allowing for a greater number of appliances on the NAC and fewer power supplies, resulting in significant material and system cost savings.

Utilizing LED technology as the strobe light source is an innovative approach in more ways than just cost savings. The LED light engine can closely control and manage the light source and output. It maximizes human response to a light pulse and optimizes light based on parameters of area and perception of the human eye. LED technology provides a way to manage this engine and thus optimizes light output. In comparison, with the xenon strobes, light can’t be controlled. It is flash only. In addition, light source life of the LED is 50,000 to 100,000 hours vs. the xenon strobe with 1000 to 5000 hours of life, assuming steady operation.
