Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact - 4000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Clear Flat Lens and 12-inch Node Spacing in Black Finish [500-000012-29]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-29) is a cutting-edge lighting solution designed for maximum flexibility and performance. This IP66-rated LED flex string is composed of 50 individually controllable nodes that deliver brilliant 4000K white light. Its versatile design makes it perfect for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications, including wall and ceiling installations, floor lighting, three-dimensional sculptures, and set pieces. Whether used for ambient lighting or video displays, the eW Flex Compact offers outstanding visual performance with a wide range of applications.

The eW Flex Compact features a 105° viewing angle that ensures uniform light distribution across large areas, making it ideal for creating dynamic lighting effects or washing walls and surfaces with smooth, consistent light. Each node emits up to 87 lumens and achieves a luminance of 47,679 cd/m2. At full brightness, each node provides 31.5 candela, resulting in impressive brightness that ensures visibility even in daylight conditions. With an efficacy of 86.9 lm/W, this system offers high-performance lighting while maintaining energy efficiency.

Thanks to its flexible design and IP66-rated outdoor protection, the eW Flex Compact is highly durable and can withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for both dry and wet locations. The black polycarbonate housing and clear UV-protected polycarbonate lens ensure that the product is both aesthetically pleasing and rugged, with long-lasting protection against UV rays and external elements.

With the ability to create both 2D and 3D video displays, the eW Flex Compact is a cost-effective solution for multimedia projects, offering flexible control over lighting effects. The strand supports classic black and white video or reverse (shadow) video, making it a powerful tool for artistic installations and visual effects. The strand's adaptable mounting options make it easy to integrate into a variety of settings. It can be mounted directly onto surfaces like traditional string lights or used with optional mounting tracks for straight linear runs. For more complex installations with uneven node spacing, single node mounts are available for precise placement.

The eW Flex Compact is compatible with Color Kinetics' full range of controllers, including the Light System Manager, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColorKeypad, and ColorDial Pro, as well as third-party DMX controllers. This compatibility, combined with the ability to be controlled remotely via Philips ActiveSite and Interact Landmark, ensures seamless integration into larger lighting systems for both professional and commercial applications.

In addition to its technical features, the eW Flex Compact is ENERGY STAR qualified, ensuring that it meets stringent energy efficiency standards set by the U.S. Department of Energy. This makes it not only an effective and adaptable lighting solution but also a sustainable choice for energy-conscious buyers.
