SITES Sites allow you to easily manage multiple Luxor systems. If you are the owner of a Luxor system, give your site a name such as MY HOUSE.

Use the color bars to select the desired hue, saturation level, and intensity for any light or group of lights. You can also create a personalized palette to easily access up to 250 user-saved color options. Programming/Schedules Create custom lighting schedules for everyday living, holidays, and celebrations.
