Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact - 4000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Clear Flat Lens and 4-inch Node Spacing in Black Finish [500-000012-25]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-25) is a high-performance LED flex string that provides superior lighting solutions for both indoor and outdoor applications. This IP66-rated, 4000K white light strand consists of 50 individually controllable LED nodes, each designed to deliver brilliant, consistent lighting. The flexible, low-profile design makes it ideal for installation on walls, ceilings, floors, sculptures, and more. Whether used for ambient lighting, artistic installations, or video displays, the eW Flex Compact is highly adaptable to diverse environments and design needs.

At full brightness, each node emits up to 87 lumens and achieves a luminance of 47,679 cd/m2, ensuring excellent visibility even in daylight conditions. The nodes also produce a high on-axis candela of 31.5, which results in crisp and bright lighting across various surfaces. With an efficacy of 86.9 lm/W, the eW Flex Compact is both energy-efficient and powerful, making it an ideal solution for large-scale lighting projects while keeping energy consumption low.

Built for durability and versatility, this product is IP66-rated, offering excellent protection against dust and water, making it suitable for both dry and wet locations. The nodes are encased in a black polycarbonate housing and equipped with a clear UV-protected polycarbonate lens that ensures long-lasting performance and protection against UV degradation. The clear flat lens ensures smooth light distribution with a 105° viewing angle, while maintaining consistent brightness across the entire installation.

The eW Flex Compact is designed to accommodate a wide range of mounting options. The strands can be mounted directly to surfaces in a variety of configurations, such as traditional string lights or via optional mounting tracks for more precise alignment. Snap-on spacers are also available to hide cabling and mounting hardware, ensuring a clean and organized setup. The system is compatible with detachable leader cables, available in lengths of 7.6 m (25 ft), 15.2 m (50 ft), and 30.5 m (100 ft), as well as custom lengths to suit specific installation requirements.

For dynamic video displays, the eW Flex Compact offers flexible control at 50 W per strand, enabling both 2D and 3D video displays. The nodes can be used to produce classic black-and-white video or reverse (shadow) video effects, adding a creative touch to any installation. With a standard 4-inch node spacing and available in custom node quantities and spacing, the eW Flex Compact provides further flexibility to accommodate specific lighting designs and requirements.

The system works seamlessly with the full range of Color Kinetics controllers, such as the Light System Manager, Video System Manager Pro, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColor Keypad, and ColorDial Pro. Additionally, it is compatible with third-party DMX controllers for more advanced control options. The eW Flex Compact also supports remote monitoring and management through Philips ActiveSite, ensuring easy integration and management in large-scale installations.

With its exceptional brightness, flexibility, and energy efficiency, the Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-25) is the perfect solution for a variety of professional lighting projects, from ambient illumination to video displays, both indoors and outdoors.
