Do you know of Lux ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Lux. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Lux.<1>

Our sources for Lux (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Lux other than they indicate that Lux would be found somewhere in Dinwiddie County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1901 and closed  in 1908.
