Is the Mitras LX7 IL enough for a 4-foot tank?

One unit spreads up to 35 x 23 inches, so it covers much of a 4-foot tank. For SPS-heavy reefs, two units give more even intensity.

How does it compare with the Mitras LX7?

The IL is the newer version with WiFi and app control built in. It keeps the same compact form and high output.

Does it need a GHL controller?

No. It runs standalone through the side display or the mobile app over WiFi. A GHL controller adds scheduling and integration if you already use one.

Can I control it from my phone?

Yes, through the GHL app over WiFi. You can set schedules, dimming and light profiles.

The fixture, power cord and mounting hardware for the included bracket. Check the listing for the exact mount type.

Is it suitable for freshwater tanks?

It is designed for saltwater reefs. Freshwater use is possible but the spectrum presets are tuned for corals.

Our take on the Mitras LX7 IL

The Mitras LX7 IL is GHL's flagship reef LED, a slim 195 W fixture built for saltwater tanks. It combines a wide 35 x 23 inch spread with 99% light reflection, WiFi control through the GHL app and a side display, and active thermal management. It suits reef keepers who want strong, controllable output from a compact unit and who are comfortable with GHL's ecosystem. Against cheaper reef LEDs it offers more power and deeper control, but it costs more and its menus take time to learn.
