Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact - 3000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Translucent Dome Lens and 4-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [500-000012-10]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-10) is a highly versatile and powerful LED flex string designed for a wide range of dynamic lighting applications. Featuring 50 individually controllable LED nodes, each capable of producing up to 89.6 candela and 129,758 nits of light at full brightness, this flex string is perfect for creating impactful visual effects. Whether installed on walls, ceilings, floors, or even three-dimensional sculptures and set pieces, the eW Flex Compact offers unparalleled flexibility for creating stunning lighting displays in both interior and exterior environments.

The 3000K color temperature delivers a warm, inviting white light that is ideal for accent lighting, wall washing, and creating immersive ambient lighting effects. Its ability to deliver dynamic lighting across a variety of surfaces makes it perfect for use in architectural projects, entertainment settings, art installations, and even video displays. With a viewing angle of 200°, the eW Flex Compact ensures wide, even coverage for expansive lighting installations, providing consistent illumination across large areas.

Designed for outdoor use, the eW Flex Compact is IP66-rated, which guarantees that the strand is fully sealed against water and dust, making it suitable for challenging outdoor environments. Its UV-protected translucent dome lens offers a soft, even diffusion of light, while also contributing to the strand's durability against environmental factors. The robust construction of the eW Flex Compact ensures maximum node life and reliable performance in both wet and dry locations.

Each node on the eW Flex Compact strand is mounted on a flexible, lightweight polycarbonate housing, making the product easy to install and integrate into various environments. The strand's flexible design allows for mounting directly onto surfaces, similar to traditional string lights, while optional mounting tracks and snap-on spacers provide additional installation flexibility. For more complex geometries or uneven node spacing, single node mounts are available, allowing for individual node positioning to ensure a precise installation. The strand is also available with detachable leader cables in multiple lengths (7.6 m/25 ft, 15.2 m/50 ft, and 30.5 m/100 ft), providing further customization for installations of any size or shape.

For video display applications, the eW Flex Compact offers an ideal solution for both 2D and 3D video displays. Its flexible form factor allows for maximum lighting control, and it can handle up to 50 W per strand. The white nodes are perfect for creating classic black-and-white video or reverse (shadow) video, offering creative lighting possibilities for multimedia projects. The eW Flex Compact is compatible with a wide range of Color Kinetics controllers, including the Light System Manager, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColorKeypad, and ColorDial Pro, as well as third-party DMX controllers. It also supports remote monitoring and management via Philips ActiveSite and integrates seamlessly with the Interact Landmark platform.

The eW Flex Compact is also ENERGY STAR qualified, ensuring that it meets the stringent energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy. This makes it a cost-effective lighting solution that provides high-quality lighting while reducing energy consumption. Whether you're lighting a set, an architectural feature, or a video display, the eW Flex Compact offers excellent performance and energy efficiency.
