Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact - 4000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Clear Flat Lens and 4-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [500-000012-24]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-24) is an advanced LED flex string designed to provide flexible, high-performance lighting solutions for a wide variety of applications. With 50 individually controllable LED nodes, this 4000K white light string offers exceptional brightness and versatility, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings. The IP66 rating ensures the string is well-protected against dust and water, allowing it to be used in a variety of environments, including architectural lighting, sculptures, and video displays.

Each node on the Flex Compact strand delivers up to 87 lumens, with a luminance of 47,679 cd/m2, ensuring that the lighting output remains clear and visible even in daylight. The on-axis candela of 31.5 per node enhances its visibility in various lighting conditions. The string's clear flat lens provides a 105° viewing angle, optimizing the distribution of light across surfaces. The high efficacy of 86.9 lm/W reduces power consumption, making the Flex Compact an energy-efficient choice without sacrificing brightness.

Designed for both durability and aesthetic appeal, the eW Flex Compact features a white polycarbonate housing that protects the LED nodes while complementing a range of design styles. The clear UV-protected polycarbonate lens ensures long-lasting performance by shielding the LEDs from environmental damage, maintaining their brightness and color quality over time. Whether mounted on ceilings, walls, or floors, this flexible string light offers seamless installation and integration into any space.

Flexibility is a key feature of this lighting system, with the ability to adapt to various mounting configurations. Strands can be mounted directly to surfaces or installed using optional mounting tracks for clean, straight runs. Detachable leader cables allow for versatile installations, ensuring the string can be installed at appropriate distances from power and data supplies. Snap-on spacers conceal the mounting hardware, providing a tidy and professional finish. Additionally, individual node mounts can be positioned independently, allowing for creative installations with uneven node spacing or complex geometries.

The eW Flex Compact is also highly suitable for video displays. Its flexible design allows for two- and three-dimensional video displays with precise control over the lighting, ideal for black-and-white or reverse (shadow) video effects. The white LED nodes enable sharp contrast and clarity, ensuring video content is displayed vividly and with high resolution. The flexible node spacing, at 12 inches (300 mm), can be customized to suit specific project requirements, providing the perfect lighting solution for dynamic video applications.

Compatible with the full range of Color Kinetics controllers, including Light System Manager, Video System Manager Pro, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColorKeypad, and ColorDial Pro, the eW Flex Compact offers robust control capabilities for large-scale lighting installations. Third-party DMX controllers can also be integrated, ensuring maximum flexibility in managing the lighting setup. Additionally, for remote monitoring and management, the system is Philips ActiveSite Ready, supporting seamless connectivity for efficient operation and maintenance.

With its outstanding performance, energy efficiency, and ease of integration, the Color Kinetics eW Flex Compact (Model # 500-000012-24) is the ideal solution for creative, reliable, and high-quality lighting projects, both indoors and outdoors.
