The PLX900 is the flagship of the PL series – it offers phenomenal light output in color or white, it’s made of super-premium materials at exceptional precision, and it uses the most sophisticated optics for uniform (or special) lighting of large-scale swimming pools.
It’s made of superior quality, corrosion-resistant AISI316L Stainless Steel, following our precision engineering philosophy to reach “heavy-duty” grade, while its refined finishing matches its surroundings in an elegant, non-obtrusive manner.
The intelligent LED module comes with an internal microprocessor, embedded drivers and self-protections, allowing the PLX900 to be controlled in a number of ways including led:bus, DMX//RDM, Dali or simple electrical control. The PLX900 offers IP68 protection degree and it is CE certified.

High-performance and high-reliability electronics work together with high-efficiency and high-power LEDs to create a stunning light output — in white or multi-color. Tight binning and high CRI ensure consistent light output across all fixtures. Color versions offer exceptional color mixing and coverage.
Custom colors and color temperatures (e.g. 4000K, Amber, RGBAW) are available on request. Power & lumens can be modified via firmware to meet project requirements.
Voltage
24V DC
Voltage drop does not affect light intensity.
Optics
65° advanced, optically-clear Lenses
Also available: 15°, 30°, 90° and elliptical lenses.
LED Module
Fontana Lighting Module Gen.3
Application-specific Fontana LED module, designed for the intended use of the fixture. With embedded microprocessor, embedded drivers, advanced electronics, software and hardware protections. Each module is addressable and can be used with led:bus, DMX/RDM or Dali. Single-color versions require only power supply.
Self-Protection
Yes
The embedded processor on the fixture constantly monitors the operation of the fixture to ensure optimal operation.
The Active Thermal Protection system uses a smart algorithm to gradually reduce the brightness in case of overheating, ensuring the max. possible light output.
Additional hardware systems provide overvoltage, voltage surge and reverse polarity protection.

Lifespan
> 80.000 hours estimated
Compliant to the LM80 Lumens Maintenance Spec — in 80000 hours of operation, the initial lumens output is expected to degrade less than 20%. Due to the technology of LEDs, these values are estimates.
