THROUGH THE Cultivator's LENS Hands-On Evaluation

  • You are managing complex lighting zones because manual adjustments on your current setup are prone to human error.
  • You are switching to a centralized controller because separate timers for different fixture types make large-scale scheduling a nightmare.

  • The dual-zone configuration is a lifesaver when you need to run HPS and LED fixtures on different photoperiods.
  • We recommend this for anyone struggling with heat, as the auto-dimming sensor actually kicks in before the room spikes.

  • Facility managers report they stopped worrying about light intensity drifts since the controller automates output levels.
  • Operators who switched to this system say they saved significant time by syncing sunrise simulations across multiple rooms.

Autopilot PX2 Advanced Lighting Controller

Need professional-grade lighting control that manages hundreds of fixtures with precision photoperiod control and advanced automation features?

The Autopilot PX2 Advanced Lighting Controller provides precision photoperiod control of up to 512 fixtures in two independently controlled zones, all from one centralized location for complete lighting management.

Perfect for commercial growing operations and large-scale facilities, this advanced controller offers unmatched flexibility to control 512 digital HID fixtures (256 per zone) or 100 analog LED fixtures (50 per zone) with independent zone configuration options.

Designed to work with any controllable Phantom or Core HID fixtures, as well as PHOTOBIO LED fixtures, the PX2 offers the flexibility to operate both zones analog or digital, or one zone analog and the other digital. This versatile dual-zone configuration enables advanced growing strategies and optimization techniques.

The controller enables growers to optimize spectral treatments by checkerboarding lighting technologies within the same environment (e.g., HPS with CMH, LED with CMH), save power by checkerboarding identical fixtures while reducing output, alternate rows and zones, and enhance uniformity through independent control over perimeter versus interior lighting.

Built with powerful features and precise independent controls for each zone including photoperiod timing, photosynthetic photon flux control, auto-dimming when temperature exceeds set points, emergency auto-shutdown, configurable restrike delay times, and sunrise/sunset simulation settings with built-in battery backup.

Product Highlights

  • Massive Control Capacity: Up to 512 digital HID or 100 analog LED fixtures across two independent zones
  • Dual-Zone Flexibility: Independent analog/digital operation per zone for advanced lighting strategies
  • Advanced Automation: Temperature-based auto-dimming, emergency shutdown, and sunrise/sunset simulation
  • Professional Integration: Compatible with Phantom, Core HID, and PHOTOBIO LED fixtures

Autopilot PX2 Advanced Lighting Controller FAQs

Can I mix different fixture types between the two zones? +

Yes, the PX2 offers complete flexibility to operate one zone analog and the other digital. For example, you can control PHOTOBIO LED fixtures in Zone A (analog) while controlling Phantom HID fixtures in Zone B (digital), enabling advanced lighting strategies like spectral checkerboarding within the same environment.

How does the temperature protection system work in each zone? +

Each zone has a dedicated 50-foot temperature probe providing real-time monitoring. When temperatures exceed set points, the system automatically dims lights in that specific zone. For extreme temperatures, emergency shutdown immediately turns off lights to prevent crop damage. This zone-specific protection ensures targeted response without affecting the other zone.

What is checkerboard lighting and how do I implement it? +

Checkerboard lighting involves alternating different lighting technologies or intensities across your growing space. With the PX2, you can checkerboard HPS with CMH, LED with CMH, or reduce output to one zone while maintaining full output in another. This enables spectral diversity, power savings, and enhanced uniformity through independent zone control.

How does PPF control differ from simple dimming? +

PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux) control precisely manages the actual photons useful for photosynthesis, not just electrical power. The PX2 allows scheduling exact PPF output by wattage or percentage during light cycles, ensuring optimal photon delivery for different growth phases and maximizing photosynthetic efficiency rather than just reducing power consumption.

Why are the data cables shielded and what does this prevent? +

The RF shielded data cables prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from electronic ballasts, motors, and other equipment that could disrupt communication between the PX2 and your fixtures. This ensures uncompromising signal reliability even in environments with heavy electrical equipment, preventing lighting control failures and maintaining precise operation.

What happens during a power outage with the battery backup? +

The built-in battery backup maintains all your programmed settings during power outages, including photoperiod schedules, PPF settings, temperature thresholds, and zone configurations. When power returns, the PX2 resumes operation exactly where it left off without requiring reprogramming, ensuring continuous precision control of your lighting system.

Can I expand my system if I start with fewer fixtures? +

Absolutely. The PX2 supports scalable configurations from small installations to maximum capacity. You can start with just a few fixtures per zone and expand up to the full capacity of 512 digital HID or 100 analog LED fixtures. The system grows with your operation without requiring controller replacement.

How does sunrise/sunset simulation benefit my crops? +

Sunrise/sunset simulation provides gradual ramp-up and down at photoperiod transitions, mimicking natural lighting conditions. This reduces plant stress from sudden lighting changes, promotes more natural circadian rhythms, and can improve overall plant health and productivity by providing gentle transitions rather than abrupt on/off switching.
