The '''Dudek Lux''' is a [[Poland|Polish]] single-place, [[paraglider]] that was designed and produced by [[Dudek Paragliding]] of [[Bydgoszcz]]. It is now out of production.<ref name="WDLA04">Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04'', page 14. Pagefast Ltd, Lancaster OK, 2003. ISSN 1368-485X</ref>

==Design and development==
The Lux was designed as an advanced and competition glider and made from Skytex material with Technora lines. The models are each named for their approximate wing area in square metres.<ref name="WDLA04"/>

==Operational history==
Reviewer Noel Bertrand described the Lux in a 2003 review as "technically very elaborate" and noted that in 2003 it had incorporated thinner cross section lines.<ref name="WDLA04"/>
