Color Kinetics eW Flex Micro - 3000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Translucent Dome Lens and 12-inch Node Spacing in Black Finish [500-000011-15]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Micro (Model # 500-000011-15) is an advanced, high-performance LED flex string that offers an ideal solution for a variety of dynamic lighting applications. With 50 individually controllable small LED nodes, it allows for precise control over each light point, providing flexible and customizable white light effects. This system is perfect for both interior and exterior installations, including use on walls, ceilings, floors, three-dimensional sculptures, and set pieces. Furthermore, it can be used for video displays, offering extensive design possibilities and creative freedom in diverse settings.

The eW Flex Micro operates at a 3000K color temperature, providing warm white light that is ideal for creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. At full brightness, each node produces a light output of up to 10.5 candela and 7,529 nits, making it clearly visible even in daylight. The system is fully sealed and IP66-rated, ensuring that it is highly durable and able to withstand outdoor conditions. It is designed for long-lasting performance, making it an excellent choice for both temporary and permanent installations in outdoor or harsh environments.

Featuring translucent dome lenses, the eW Flex Micro ensures optimal light diffusion and maximum protection for the LED nodes. These lenses are made from UV-protected polycarbonate, ensuring long-term durability and maintaining performance even under exposure to the sun's harsh rays. The system also offers flexibility with lens options, including clear dome, translucent dome, and optional clear or translucent flat lenses, allowing designers to achieve the precise lighting effect they require.

In terms of installation, the eW Flex Micro offers a range of mounting options to ensure flexibility and ease of use. Strands can be mounted directly to surfaces, like traditional string lights, with detachable leader cables available in lengths of 7.6 m (25 ft), 15.2 m (50 ft), and 30.5 m (100 ft). Optional mounting tracks ensure a straight linear run, while snap-on spacers help conceal mounting hardware and cabling. Additionally, single node mounts can be used as anchor points, enabling uneven node spacing and installations on complex geometries.

The eW Flex Micro is designed to be energy-efficient, with each node consuming only 0.5W of power at full output. The system operates at 25W per strand and offers a cost-effective solution for creating two- and three-dimensional video displays. The white nodes enable classic black-and-white video or reverse (shadow) video, making it ideal for creative lighting effects and interactive installations. Available with standard node spacing of 102 mm (4 in) or 305 mm (12 in), the system can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each project, with custom lengths and node spacing available.

To ensure seamless integration and maximum control, the eW Flex Micro works with Color Kinetics' full range of controllers, including the Video System Manager Pro, Light System Manager, and iPlayer 3. It is also compatible with third-party DMX controllers. Remote monitoring and management are available through the Interact Landmark platform, offering a comprehensive solution for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
