Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact - 3000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Translucent Dome Lens and 12-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [500-000012-14]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-14) is an advanced, versatile LED flex string designed to deliver high-quality, dynamic white lighting for a wide range of applications. With its flexible and compact form factor, the eW Flex Compact allows for easy installation across various interior and exterior surfaces, including walls, ceilings, floors, three-dimensional sculptures, and set pieces. This strand is particularly well-suited for both decorative and functional lighting, offering the capability to create stunning visual effects and even video displays. Its robust design and flexibility make it a standout option for both permanent installations and temporary lighting projects.

Each strand consists of 50 individually controllable LED nodes, each producing up to 89.6 candela and 129,758 nits of light at full brightness, ensuring high visibility and brightness even in daylight. The nodes are designed with a 3000K color temperature, delivering a warm and inviting light that is perfect for accent lighting, wall washing, and other architectural effects. The 200° viewing angle ensures wide, even coverage, while the translucent dome lens helps to diffuse light evenly for a softer and more consistent illumination. The durable and UV-protected polycarbonate lens guarantees long-term performance, even under harsh conditions.

The eW Flex Compact, eW is IP66-rated, making it fully sealed for outdoor applications. This rating ensures that the strand is resistant to dust and water, making it an ideal choice for both dry and wet environments. Whether you're using it indoors for ambient lighting or outdoors for architectural lighting or event installations, the strand's IP66 rating provides excellent protection for its components and ensures longevity, even in challenging weather conditions.

Adaptability is one of the key features of the eW Flex Compact. The strand can be mounted directly to surfaces like traditional string lights or attached using optional mounting tracks for straight, linear runs. For more complex installations, snap-on spacers can be used to conceal mounting hardware and cabling. Additionally, the strand offers detachable leader cables in multiple lengths, enabling installation flexibility and providing the option to install the strands at the ideal distance from power/data supplies. Single node mounts allow for individual node positioning, which is especially useful in installations with uneven node spacing or intricate geometries.

Another standout feature is its capability to display video. The flexible form factor allows the eW Flex Compact to accommodate both two- and three-dimensional video displays, offering maximum control over lighting and video effects at 50W per strand. The white nodes make it possible to create classic black-and-white video displays, as well as reverse (shadow) video, making it an excellent choice for multimedia installations, events, and art displays. The strand is compatible with the full range of Color Kinetics controllers, including Light System Manager, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColor Keypad, and ColorDial Pro, as well as third-party DMX controllers, allowing for seamless integration into any lighting or video setup.

For remote monitoring and management, the eW Flex Compact is Philips ActiveSite Ready, which works with the Interact Landmark platform. This integration allows for remote diagnostics and control, ensuring the system remains operational with minimal maintenance and maximum flexibility. The eW Flex Compact is also ENERGY STAR qualified, meaning it meets the energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy, helping to reduce environmental impact while providing high-quality lighting performance.
