S.R. Smith poolLUX Plus2 · PLX-PL2 Dual-Zone Pool Light Controller
Two zones.
One remote.
Two 60W low-voltage transformers and wireless lighting control in one quiet, weatherproof box. Light the pool and the spa, or the pool and the landscape, separately or together.
Zone 1 + Zone 2
Pool in magenta. Spa in aqua. Your call.
S.R. Smith designed the poolLUX Plus2 for jobs that need two lighting zones. Each zone has its own 60W transformer, and you can run each channel on its own or both in unison from one easy remote.
- Two 60W low-voltage transformers, 120W total
- Independent or synchronized control of each transformer
- Made for pool/spa or pool/landscape setups
- An external illuminated control switch for each transformer
6 colors. 2 light shows.
With S.R. Smith color LED lights, you step through the colors and shows by toggling the power from the remote. One-touch color sync brings every light back into step.
Colors and shows as listed by S.R. Smith for its color RGB LED lights. Also works with other 12 VAC power-toggle LED lights.
Control From the Lounge Chair
100 feet of range. Zero programming.
The RF remote arrives ready to use. Turn zone 1, zone 2 or both zones on and off, change colors, and resync your S.R. Smith LED lights with one touch.
- Extended range: up to 100 ft line of sight
- One-touch color sync for S.R. Smith LED lights
- Control each zone, or both together
- 16 pairing codes (A–P), so a neighbor's system won't interfere
- Goes into sleep mode after 30 seconds of no use to save battery
Built for the equipment pad.
Protection and wiring features from S.R. Smith's spec sheet.
Thermal Cutoff
An internal self-resetting thermal fuse cuts power if the unit overloads or overheats, then resets on its own once the fault is cleared.Short-Circuit Fuse
A fast-acting, replaceable current fuse protects against short circuits. Replace it only with S.R. Smith fuse 36-15017-00.12V & 13V Taps
Each zone has 12 VAC and 13 VAC terminals. The 13V tap makes up for voltage drop on long cable runs or through junction boxes.NEMA 3R Housing
A corrosion-resistant polycarbonate enclosure made for harsh pool environments. It also dampens sound, so the unit runs quietly.
Installer Friendly
Roomy inside. Clean on the wall.
It has an oversized wiring space with terminal strip connections, plus knockouts for 3/4" or 1" conduit. A qualified electrician installs it on a flat vertical surface following NEC Article 680.
- Convenient terminal strip connections in an oversized wiring space
- 4 low-voltage and 4 line-voltage combination knockouts (3/4" or 1"), plus 2 special-use knockouts
- Mount it at least 4 in. above grade or deck, and at least 4 ft from the inside wall of the pool (unless a permanent barrier separates them)
- Supply it from a 15 A, 120 VAC GFCI breaker
How many lights per zone?
Maximum per 60W zone, from S.R. Smith's lighting configuration guide. Double it for both zones.
You can mix lights, as long as their combined wattage stays at or under 90% of the controller's capacity. Lights are sold separately.
Resort nights at home
Bathe the pool in violet while the landscape zone glows warm.
Set the mood in a tap
Switch colors or start a light show from the remote, without leaving the table.

poolLUX Plus2 Frequently Asked Questions
The quick answers before you light up.
Yes. The poolLUX Plus2 has two zones, each on its own 60W transformer, and you can run each one independently or both in unison. Put the pool on one zone and the spa or landscape lights on the other.
It works with S.R. Smith LED lights such as TREO, kēlo, kēlo XL, Mod-Lite, Mod-Lite MultiWhite and micro, which give you 6 colors and 2 shows plus one-touch color sync. It is also compatible with other 12 VAC power-toggle LED lights. Lights are sold separately.
Each zone is rated for 60 W. S.R. Smith's configuration guide lists up to 11 TREO, 7 kēlo, 7 Mod-Lite, 6 Mod-Lite MultiWhite, 27 micro or 1 kēlo XL per zone. You can mix lights, as long as their combined wattage stays at or under 90% of the controller's capacity.
In a multi-light setup, lights can drift out of step. Press the sync button once and wait about 15 seconds. The lights on both zones flash a few times, pause, and then come back together at the first color mode.
The remote and receiver both ship on Code A. If a nearby system uses the same code, you can pick one of 16 codes (A–P) with the DIP switches in the remote's battery compartment, then set the receiver board inside the control panel to match.
Yes. S.R. Smith requires a qualified electrician to install it in line with NEC (NFPA 70) Article 680. It needs a 15 A, 120 VAC GFCI breaker, separate conduits for input and output wiring, non-metallic output conduit, and copper conductors only.
Most installs use the 12 VAC tap. On long cable runs, or when junction boxes cause voltage loss, the 13 VAC tap supplies the extra voltage the lights need. Use only one tap per circuit, never both at once.
Install the poolLUX Plus2 Safely
From the S.R. Smith installation guide
Power Off First
The switch does not turn off input power. Disconnect input power before you service the unit, and replace all parts and panels before you reconnect.
Placement
Mount it on a flat vertical surface, at least 4 ft from the inside wall of the pool (unless a permanent barrier separates them) and at least 1 m horizontally from a spa or hot tub.
Ratings
Keep each circuit at or under its 60 W rating. Use a GFCI breaker rated 15 A or less, and rain-tight or wet-location conduit hubs.
Supervision
Never let children operate the unit unsupervised, and never use it to run equipment that could cause harm if it switched on unexpectedly.
