Cameron McGeehan put the Hatters in front when he followed up to score.
Kevin Ellison had a volleyed effort ruled out for offside and Luton keeper Mark Tyler made a couple of smart saves as Morecambe pressed, but Jonathan Smith poked in to seal victory late on.
Luton boss John Still told BBC Three Counties Radio:
"I thought for the 90 minutes we were the best team and deserved to win, against a good team.
"My teams start slow, I can't do nothing about that, but we finish strong
"I am really pleased with how we're going, will there be some slip-ups? Of course there will be.
"Tonight was a tough, tough fixture, forget winning or losing we've played really well."
