Color Kinetics iW Flex Compact - 2700K to 6500K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Clear Flat Lens and 4-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [501-000016-00]

The Color Kinetics iW Flex Compact (Model # 501-000016-00) is an advanced, flexible lighting solution that provides high-intensity, tunable white LED light for large-scale installations. This system is designed to create extraordinary video and graphic effects, enabling expansive designs without the constraints of traditional luminaires. With a color temperature range from 2700K to 6500K, this flexible strand of 50 individually addressable LED nodes offers precise control over the lighting ambiance. Whether used for architectural lighting, signage, or building-covering video displays, the iW Flex Compact delivers superior light output for high-visibility and long-distance viewing.

The iW Flex Compact's flexible form factor allows it to be used in two- and three-dimensional configurations, giving designers the freedom to explore innovative installations. The system includes a clear UV-protected polycarbonate lens that provides excellent light diffusion and protects the LEDs from the elements. The viewing angle of 105° ensures optimal light distribution, and the high output of up to 91.6 candela per node ensures visibility even from long distances. The white polycarbonate housing enhances the system's durability while maintaining a sleek aesthetic that fits seamlessly into a variety of design concepts.

This flexible lighting solution is IP66-rated, providing full protection against dust and water ingress, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications. The iW Flex Compact is built to endure tough environments, offering a fully sealed design to maximize node life. The system can be customized with various node spacings, such as the standard 4-inch node spacing, and can also accommodate custom lengths and spacings, ranging from 3 inches to 24 inches. This ensures the system can be adapted to meet the unique requirements of any project, whether large or small.

The iW Flex Compact works seamlessly with the full range of Color Kinetics controllers, including Light System Manager, iPlayer 3, and Antumbra iColor Keypad, as well as third-party controllers. This integration allows for full control over color temperature and lighting effects, giving you the flexibility to tailor your lighting setup. For easy installation, the system includes integrated watertight 3-pin connectors and a variety of optional accessories such as mounting tracks, glare shields, and snap-on spacers, ensuring a clean and professional setup for any application.
