I haven't found the exact books yet but I am looking.

Edit; I would swear the first book was called Pirates of the Air but no luck on pinning that down yet.

Nope not Doc Smith. Still looking.

The terms lux and relux are found in John W. Campbell's trilogy, Battle of the Infinite Trilogy.

Please see my post above this one.
