Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact - 3000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Clear Flat Lens and 4-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [500-000012-08]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-08) is a powerful and versatile LED lighting solution designed for both interior and exterior applications. This IP66-rated flex string features 50 individually controllable high-intensity LED nodes, providing dynamic points of white light across a variety of surfaces, including walls, ceilings, floors, sculptures, and set pieces. Ideal for installations where space and flexibility are essential, the eW Flex Compact allows users to create intricate and creative lighting effects. The compact design makes it suitable for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional video displays, enhancing its versatility in both decorative and performance lighting scenarios.

With a color temperature of 3000K, the eW Flex Compact emits a warm white light that enhances any environment. At full brightness, each node produces up to 89.6 candela and 129,758 nits of light, ensuring excellent visibility even in daylight. This makes the eW Flex Compact ideal for outdoor applications, where high brightness is needed to maintain visibility in changing light conditions. The outdoor-rated IP66 seal ensures the longevity and durability of the nodes, even in harsh weather conditions, by protecting them from dust and water. The clear flat lens, which is UV-protected, guarantees the durability and longevity of the light output while maintaining the clarity and consistency of the white light.

The flexible form factor of the eW Flex Compact allows for easy installation on a variety of surfaces, such as flat walls, ceilings, or curved installations, making it highly adaptable for both artistic and functional lighting. The strands can be mounted directly to surfaces like traditional string lights, and they are capable of making 180-degree turns for customized positioning. The strand is powered by detachable leader cables in various lengths, ranging from 7.6 m (25 ft) to 30.5 m (100 ft), allowing for flexibility in installation distance from power and data supplies. Additionally, mounting tracks and snap-on spacers are available to keep installations neat and organized, while single-node mounts offer greater flexibility for installations with uneven node spacing or more complex geometries.

Designed with video displays in mind, the eW Flex Compact supports both black-and-white and reverse (shadow) video effects. The flexible form factor makes it easy to create both two- and three-dimensional video displays, with each strand offering 50W of power and superior lighting control. This makes the eW Flex Compact a cost-effective solution for large-scale, dynamic video applications. The product is capable of producing precise control over lighting, enabling detailed visual effects for video projection, digital art installations, and more.

The eW Flex Compact is compatible with a range of Color Kinetics controllers, including the Light System Manager, Video System Manager Pro, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColor Keypad, and ColorDial Pro, as well as third-party DMX controllers. With these controllers, users can take full advantage of the lighting system's capabilities, whether it's for synchronized displays, dynamic video content, or precise control over lighting levels. Additionally, the eW Flex Compact is Philips ActiveSite Ready, which allows for remote monitoring and management, integrating seamlessly with the Interact Landmark platform for easy system maintenance and troubleshooting.

Whether used for decorative lighting, video art, or complex installations, the Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-08) provides a reliable, flexible, and cost-effective lighting solution for a wide range of applications.
