Color Kinetics iW Flex Compact - 2700K to 6500K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Translucent Dome Lens and 4-inch Node Spacing in Black Finish [501-000016-03]

The Color Kinetics iW Flex Compact (Model # 501-000016-03) is a high-performance, flexible lighting solution designed to provide tunable white light for expansive installations. This system is ideal for large-scale signage, video displays, and architectural lighting projects, offering the flexibility to configure the strands in two- and three-dimensional layouts. Featuring 50 individually addressable LED nodes per strand, the iW Flex Compact offers dynamic control over both power and communication. Its flexible form factor enables innovative, large-scale designs without being constrained by traditional luminaire size, shape, or space, making it a versatile solution for high-output lighting applications.

The iW Flex Compact provides a tunable white light output with a color temperature range from 2700K to 6500K, allowing for a wide variety of lighting effects. Whether you're looking for warm white for an intimate setting or cool white for a more vibrant atmosphere, the system ensures the right light for every application. Each LED node produces up to 91.6 candela, with a wide viewing angle of 165°, ensuring excellent visibility from long distances. The translucent UV-protected polycarbonate lens ensures the light is diffused evenly, while offering protection to the LEDs against harsh outdoor environments.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, the iW Flex Compact is IP66-rated, ensuring it is fully sealed for protection against water and dust. This robust construction guarantees the system's reliability and durability, even in challenging weather conditions. The system is available with standard 4-inch node spacing, and custom lengths and node spacings can be tailored to meet specific design needs, from 3 inches to 24 inches. This flexibility ensures the iW Flex Compact can adapt to any lighting or video design, from large-scale signage to more intricate and compact installations.

With Color Kinetics' industry-leading controls, the iW Flex Compact integrates 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 provides precise control over the lighting effects, ensuring flexibility in the lighting setup. For installation, the system includes integrated watertight 3-pin connectors, and optional mounting accessories such as tracks, spacers, and glare shields provide a polished and professional finish to any setup. Additionally, the system is compatible with custom leader cables of various lengths, making it adaptable for various installation distances from power and data supplies.
