A different view of electric fire
Bring flame and sound together.
An LCD screen creates Luminex’s flame visuals, while built-in speakers give each flame pattern its own fire sound. Three flame patterns and six flame colors let you change the presentation, while the illuminated media bed adds detail in front of the screen.
The Beach Fire log set and Woodland media kit are included, giving you driftwood-style logs, mineral rocks, charcoal media and two glass-media finishes to arrange during installation. Birch logs and alternate media are optional additions, sold separately.
Plan a front-only view, an open corner with one side showing, or a three-sided view with both ends open. These are installation arrangements of the same NEFL65LCD-3SV fireplace. Every arrangement is fully recessed into a prepared enclosure and requires hardwiring.
Flame patterns, lighting and sound
Change the presentation without changing the room.
Use the included remote to move between three flame patterns and six colors: yellow, blue, green, orange, purple and white. Flame brightness has three settings. Built-in speakers provide fire sounds, with adjustable volume and an off setting when you prefer a quieter room.
The ember bed and top light each offer thirteen color settings, with cycling options. Ember brightness and fade settings provide further adjustment. The Napoleon Home app also offers color and brightness controls.
The flame display and fire sound can operate with the heater off.
Remote and app control
Keep the controls close.
A premium remote is included for the flames, sound, ember bed, top light, heat, temperature and weekly schedule. The appliance also has touch controls. An optional wall-mounted controller is available separately.
Connect the fireplace to the Napoleon Home app for phone control and scheduling. Setup requires an account and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network; follow the pairing instructions for your device. Google Home and Alexa compatibility provides voice control of supported settings after setup.
ECO mode operates at half heat. Boost mode uses full heat and a faster blower for thirty minutes. You can also select fan-only operation, turn the heater off, use thermostat control or apply heater lockout.
Check the clock, schedule and other settings after a power interruption: the fireplace resets to factory mode when power returns.

Plan the enclosure, finishing and power.
The fireplace body measures 65 1/16 inches wide, 25 3/8 inches high and 12 1/16 inches deep. Overall width including projections is 66 1/4 inches. Use the complete dimension and framing drawings with your installer rather than the nominal 65-inch name to plan the enclosure.

Framing and viewing arrangement
The rough-opening height is 25 7/8 inches and the depth is 12 1/2 inches. A front-only installation requires a 65 9/16-inch opening width; two- and three-sided installations use 65 1/16 inches. The enclosure is non-load-bearing, and finishing materials need their own support. Have your installer apply the correct side panels, trims and finishing arrangement.
Electrical connection
Luminex must be hardwired by a qualified electrician. Maximum input is 1,500 watts on 120-volt power or 3,000 watts on 240-volt power. Plan the supply, circuit and conductor arrangement with the electrician before finishing the enclosure; this is not a plug-in fireplace.
Finishing and clearances
Finishing materials sit in front of the appliance and must stop at its finishing edge without overhanging the opening or preventing glass removal. Keep heater vents clear. Maintain the manual’s mantel clearance of 3 9/16 inches measured from the appliance top, and follow all other location, framing and clearance requirements.

Arrange qualified service when needed, and preserve access to the front glass and appliance controls.

What makes Luminex different from a standard electric fireplace?
It uses an LCD flame display with three flame patterns and six colors, paired with built-in speakers for fire sounds. Volume can be adjusted or turned off. Ember-bed and top-light controls provide further changes to the presentation.
Are the logs and media included?
Yes. The Beach Fire driftwood-style log set and Woodland media kit are included, along with the premium remote. Birch logs and alternate media are optional additions, sold separately.
Do I buy different models for one-, two- and three-sided views?
No. The same NEFL65LCD-3SV appliance can be installed for a front-only view, a front-and-one-side corner view, or a front-and-both-sides view. Plan that arrangement with your installer; it changes the framing and side-panel setup.
Can it hang on the wall or plug into an outlet?
No. Luminex is fully recessed into a prepared enclosure and must be hardwired by a qualified electrician. It is not a surface-mounted or plug-in fireplace.
What opening does the installer need?
The rough opening is 25 7/8 inches high and 12 1/2 inches deep. Width is 65 9/16 inches for front-only viewing or 65 1/16 inches for two- and three-sided viewing. Have your installer use the complete framing and finishing drawings for the chosen arrangement.
Can it use 120-volt or 240-volt power?
Yes. A qualified electrician can hardwire the appropriate supply following the electrical instructions. Maximum appliance input is 1,500 watts at 120 volts or 3,000 watts at 240 volts. Plan the circuit and wiring before finishing the enclosure.
Can I use the flames without the heater?
Yes. The LCD flame display can operate with the heater off. Fan-only operation, thermostat control, ECO, Boost and heater lockout are also available.
Can I turn the fire sound off?
Yes. The remote offers three sound-volume levels and an off setting. You can keep the flame presentation without the crackling soundtrack.
Does it work with a phone or voice assistant?
Yes. Luminex supports the Napoleon Home app, Google Home and Alexa. App control requires account and network setup. The included remote remains available; a wall-mounted controller is optional and sold separately.
What does the five-year warranty cover?
Eligible electrical components and wearable parts have five-year limited coverage from original installation. Light bulbs, fuses and shipping are excluded. After the first year, installation, labor and reinstallation expenses are excluded. Original-purchaser, authorized-dealer and other written conditions apply.

Napoleon Luminex 65 LCD family
OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
Hearth Outpost Score
8.5/10
The Luminex is the one we’d audition from the actual seating distance. Its LCD flame scenes, matching fire sounds and layered log bed can make a large wall feel like a hearth even with the heater off. We’d try the volume low, watch the picture with daylight in the room and then compare the side and front views. This is a fully built-in 65-inch fireplace, so we’d plan the finished opening and future service access before choosing the surrounding material.

What owners are saying
A buyer who identified the 65-inch Luminex in a retailer review singled out the flame picture and crackling sound as the combination they wanted. That speaks to the experience of watching the fire. We’d still listen from your own sofa before deciding how much sound you want in a room shared with a television.
What stands out
Three flame scenes and built-in speakers give you control over both what you see and what you hear. The included Beach Fire logs and Woodland media add physical detail in front of the display, including when the screen is dimmed.
What to weigh before buying
Choose front, corner or three-sided exposure before framing. A fully recessed LCD unit is a more involved installation than a wall-hung linear fire. Ask the installer to walk you through future access to the display and electrical connection.
Value Consideration
The premium goes toward the picture, audio and architectural fit. If you mostly want quiet background warmth with the flame barely visible, those are expensive features to leave idle. See the scenes side by side before choosing it over an LED model.
