Controls · LT-1BOX by Lumentender

The controls enclosure that ships pre-assembled.

A turnkey Power & Controls enclosure that pairs natively with MaxiLED MaxiLINK products — specified, patched, mapped and pre-configured before it arrives on site.

Introducing LT-1BOX

Complete turnkey controls solution.

LT-1BOX is an all-in-one Power and Controls enclosure engineered by Lumentender as an efficient, complete solution to project controls integration.

A single standardised enclosure removes on-site implementation inconsistencies: it arrives with pre-assembled controls hardware, protected by industrial-grade powerline components, tested and ready to install. Options extend to assemblies already patched, mapped and programmed for commissioning on the day.

MaxiLED specifies LT-1BOX as the recommended controls partner for every MaxiLINK installation — MaxiRGBW, MaxiLUX, and the DMX-controllable RGBW variants of the wider platform. The pairing keeps the entire signal path — from AC input through DMX 512 modulation onto the two-core cable — on a single documented and warranted architecture.

Complement to MaxiLED D.O.P. The LT-1BOX handles power, DMX distribution, surge protection and optional cellular scheduling; MaxiLINK handles the modulation of DMX onto the 48 VDC pair; the fixture family handles the light. Three integrated layers, one supply chain.
Features & benefits

Assembled off site. Deployed in hours.

01 · Assembly

DIN-rail mounted, one unit

Every component pre-installed on DIN rail inside a single enclosure — no field wiring between control boxes.

02 · QA

Tested & verified

The entire controls package is tested and assembled at Lumentender before shipping. Eliminates on-site inconsistencies.

03 · Commissioning

Pre-configured, pre-patched

Optional pre-configuration, fixture mapping and DMX patching saves days of on-site commissioning time.

04 · Protection

Surge suppression

Industrial-grade powerline components and surge suppression protect the controls hardware inside.

05 · Continuity

Battery backup available

Battery-backup versions ensure continuous operation across power interruptions — critical for permanent civic installations.

06 · Scale

Up to 32 universes standard

Stock configurations scale from a single strand to 32 DMX 512 universes. Fully customised builds available for larger scopes.

07 · Cloud

Cloud & cellular ready

Optional Lumentender Cloud Control pre-configured before shipping. Schedule and monitor from any web-connected device — standard network or cellular broadband.

08 · Consistency

One enclosure, every job

A standardised enclosure across projects means predictable spec, predictable install, predictable service.

09 · Custom

Configurable to the project

Stock models cover the majority of specs; fully customised configurations available for larger installations and non-standard requirements.

  • RDM optical splitters
  • Fixture drivers & power supplies
  • Cellular connectivity (optional)
  • Data distribution & PoE switches
  • Surge suppression
  • Battery backup (optional)
  • Circuit breakers
Enclosure specifications

Built for permanent outdoor.

The mechanical shell is engineered to the same permanence standard as the fixtures it drives:
  • UL® Listed moulded fibreglass-reinforced polyester
  • Stainless steel quick-release latches with padlock hasps
  • Fully gasketed raised lid
  • Integral mounting flange
  • NEMA Type 4, 4X / IP66 rated
  • RoHS compliant
  • UV-inhibited fibreglass
  • UL94-5V flame rating
Twelve components · one enclosure

A discrete controls room, shrunk into a single wall-mount box.

Every controls layer that would normally live in a dedicated rack — power, distribution, protection, connectivity — is DIN-rail assembled inside the same fibreglass-reinforced enclosure. The image below maps the twelve functional blocks that can appear in a fully-loaded LT-1BOX build.

Lumentender Cloud Control

Cloud scheduling, live control, from any device.

Every LT-1BOX can ship pre-configured for the Lumentender Cloud Control Platform — the software layer that lets owners and facilities teams schedule shows, trigger live scenes, and manage multiple sites from any web-connected device. Requires standard network access or the optional cellular broadband module.

Module 01

Daily Event scheduling

Build the typical daily or weekly show calendar on the device's real-time clock and astronomical events (sunset, sunrise, civil twilight).

Module 02

Special Event scheduling

Book holidays and one-off events by date, date range, or by picking from a filterable library of national / international / religious occasions with smart recurring logic.

Module 03

Play Now — live playback

Trigger any static scene or animated show in real time. Static scenes preview as snapshot; animated shows preview as short video.

Module 04

Instacolor — live tint

Select groups of fixtures by type (RGB / RGBW / dynamic white) and adjust colour, hue and intensity live or in the blind. Snapshot favourites to the palette for instant recall.

Module 05

Custom Scene creator

Build custom scenes: pick fixture groups, set colour / hue / intensity, snapshot, name, and add them to the Play Now or Scheduling modules.

Module 06

Scene Combo — multi-site

Link scenes across controllers or zones into a single combo item, available in Play Now and scheduling. Triggered by geographical location for coordinated multi-site programmes.

Tier 01

Lite

Core scheduling and playback. Ideal for single-site fixed-programme installations.

Tier 02

Plus

Adds custom scene building and Play Now real-time control. For sites that need in-house programming flexibility.

Tier 03

Pro

Full multi-site + Scene Combo + full occasion library. For hospitality groups, retail chains and municipal networks.

Subscription activates after a 30-day trial for commissioning and evaluation. Annual or multi-year terms.
