Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact - 4000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Clear Flat Lens and 12-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [500-000012-28]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-28) is a versatile and powerful LED flex string designed for a wide range of professional lighting applications. This IP66-rated, 4000K white light strand consists of 50 individually controllable LED nodes, making it ideal for dynamic lighting installations on walls, ceilings, floors, sculptures, and more. Whether used indoors or outdoors, this flexible lighting solution offers exceptional performance in both ambient and video display settings.

Each node in the eW Flex Compact string produces up to 87 lumens, with a luminance of 47,679 cd/m2, ensuring excellent visibility even in daylight. The on-axis candela of 31.5 per node provides bright and crisp light, while the high efficacy of 86.9 lm/W ensures low energy consumption without sacrificing performance. The clear flat lens maximizes light output with a 105° viewing angle, ensuring an even spread of light for various applications. The product's high CRI of 84 enhances the quality of white light, making it suitable for both functional and aesthetic purposes.

The eW Flex Compact is fully sealed and IP66-rated, offering robust protection against dust and water, making it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor use. Its weather-resistant design ensures reliable operation in demanding environments, extending the life of the nodes and maintaining consistent performance over time. The clear UV-protected polycarbonate lens further enhances durability by protecting the LEDs from UV degradation, ensuring long-lasting performance.

This product offers multiple flexible mounting options, allowing for installation on virtually any surface. Strands can be mounted directly to walls or ceilings, much like traditional string lights, and custom leader cables are available in various lengths (7.6 m / 25 ft, 15.2 m / 50 ft, and 30.5 m / 100 ft), allowing for easy integration with power/data supplies at varying distances. Optional mounting tracks and snap-on spacers are available to ensure neat and straight runs, while individual node mounts can be used for installations with uneven spacing or intricate geometries.

The eW Flex Compact is also an ideal solution for cost-effective video displays. The flexible form factor allows it to be used in two- and three-dimensional video displays, offering complete control over the lighting. White nodes enable classic black-and-white video or reverse (shadow) video effects, providing maximum versatility for creative lighting installations. The standard node spacing of 12 inches (300 mm) offers ample flexibility, and custom spacing can be provided upon request.

Integrating seamlessly with the full range of Color Kinetics controllers, including the Light System Manager, Video System Manager Pro, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColorKeypad, and ColorDial Pro, the eW Flex Compact can be easily controlled and customized to fit the needs of any lighting project. The product is also compatible with third-party DMX controllers, offering further control options. For remote monitoring and management, the system is Philips ActiveSite Ready, ensuring that installations can be efficiently managed and maintained.

With its superior light output, energy efficiency, and exceptional versatility, the Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-28) is the perfect lighting solution for a wide range of commercial, artistic, and architectural applications.
