Overview

The Lumishore 010-04446-00 is an RS232 trigger module that lets a compatible external control device trigger lighting events on an EOS-LUX lighting system.

It is typically used when your boat already has a central controller, automation processor, or other serial-based helm equipment and you want lighting actions to follow those commands instead of adding another standalone control head.

This module is an interface, not a standalone light controller. Your EOS-LUX lighting hardware still handles the actual output to the lights, while the trigger module handles the RS232 side of the integration.

Key features

• RS232 serial interface for triggering EOS-LUX lighting events from a compatible external controller
• Built to sit between your RS232 source and the EOS-LUX lighting control hardware as an integration module
• Supports synchronized lighting actions when tied into onboard automation or centralized control logic
• Useful for clean helm layouts where lighting control is handled through an existing system instead of extra keypads

Installation and setup

Plan the install location where the module stays protected from spray and washdowns, and where the RS232 and lighting-system wiring can be routed without strain. Give the wiring a proper service loop and strain relief so vibration does not work connections loose over time.

Integration usually involves matching the external controller’s RS232 output to the lighting system’s trigger input and then configuring the controller to send the correct trigger commands. Keep wiring runs tidy, label both ends, and follow marine electrical best practices for fusing and circuit protection on the vessel.

Compatibility and fit

This part is intended for use with an EOS-LUX lighting system and an external device that communicates over RS232. Confirm that your control device supports RS232 signaling and that your lighting system is set up to accept RS232 trigger input before ordering.

Use cases on board

It is a good match for boats with integrated helm systems where lighting needs to follow other actions, such as switching modes between cruising and dockside, or tying lighting triggers into a broader automation routine. It also fits custom builds where the goal is fewer separate control panels while keeping lighting control accessible.
