Our Story

Since 1989, we have earned a reputation as a leading producer of top-quality lighting products through our deep commitment to innovation. We have transformed landscape and architectural lighting through next-generation lighting control, elegant fixture designs, LED efficiency, and durable material combinations.

FX Luminaire was founded by Joshua Beadle, a landscape contractor from San Diego, California, who was unhappy with the quality of outdoor lighting fixtures available at the time. Existing lighting brands were simply not holding up to the coastal weather. Rather than installing products that were not up to par, he decided to create his own fixtures. In the beginning, Beadle only made fixtures for himself. But over time, other contractors came to recognize the quality of his products and wanted to purchase them for their installations as well. Beadle had to make a choice: become a landscape lighting manufacturer or continue with his landscape contractor business. Thus, FX Luminaire was born.

In 2009, Hunter Industries acquired FX Luminaire. Since then, being part of the Hunter family has given FX Luminaire access to a strong corporate infrastructure with a global reach, significant funding for research and development, and a world-renowned customer support system.

Evolution of Power and Control

At FX Luminaire, we are dedicated to finding and perfecting new ways to improve outdoor lighting systems. We offer a variety of low-voltage lighting transformers with varying levels of control to accommodate projects of all scopes, ranging from simple on/off capabilities to next-generation Luxor^® technology.

PX Transformer

FX Luminaire introduced the revolutionary PX transformer more than 20 years ago to provide a reliable on/off switch for our lighting fixtures. As the first multi-tap transformer in the landscape industry, the PX served as the foundation for our innovations in lighting control technology. As a testament to its quality, the PX remains popular to this day.

Luxor ZD Controller

In 2012, we launched the Luxor ZD controller, which gave customers the ability to zone and dim lighting fixtures using the same installation techniques to which they were accustomed.

EX Transformer

In 2018, we launched the EX transformer to provide our customers with an economical, low-wattage power-and-control option for LED lighting projects.

Next-Generation Luxor Controller

In 2018, we launched the next-generation Luxor controller. Users can now create up to 40 distinct themes, and the controller comes preset with calendar-based programming, timed sunrise and sunset offsets, and dual 15V outputs.

LX Transformer

In 2011, we launched the industry’s first fully digital transformer, the LX. An integrated LCD screen provided the current time, an internal timing system, a photocell readout, and an automatic backlit display. This transformer helped pave the way for our future controller capabilities.

Luxor ZDC Controller

In 2015, we took our Luxor technology to the next level. We launched Luxor ZDC, which had all the great features of Luxor ZD — but now equipped our fixtures with 30,000 vibrant color possibilities!

DX Controller

Also in 2018, we launched the DX controller, a fully digital, intermediate on/off lighting control solution. The DX comes with astronomical timing and event-based programming capabilities pre-installed, so there is no need for plug-in accessories such as timers and photocells.

Three Decades of Innovation

From the early stages of our business to the present day, we are proud to lead the industry with groundbreaking innovations that push the boundaries of lighting design.
