Color Kinetics iW Flex Compact - 2700K to 6500K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Translucent Dome Lens and 12-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [501-000016-06]

The Color Kinetics iW Flex Compact (Model # 501-000016-06) is an innovative and high-performance flexible lighting system designed for expansive video and graphic effects. Perfect for large-scale signage, architectural facades, and immersive video displays, this solution features 50 individually addressable high-intensity LED nodes per strand, offering exceptional flexibility in both two- and three-dimensional installations. The system delivers tunable white light with a color temperature range from 2700K to 6500K, making it easy to create the perfect lighting ambiance for any application. The flexible form factor allows for seamless integration into a wide range of lighting and video designs, with high output that ensures visibility from long distances.

The iW Flex Compact features a translucent UV-protected polycarbonate lens that provides excellent light diffusion while protecting the LEDs from environmental elements. With a wide 165° viewing angle, the system guarantees consistent illumination across expansive areas. Each node produces up to 91.6 candela, providing superior brightness even in large-scale installations. The system's white polycarbonate housing adds durability while maintaining a sleek appearance, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments, the iW Flex Compact is IP66-rated, ensuring it is fully sealed for protection against dust and water. This makes it suitable for use in wet, damp, and dry locations. The system offers standard 12-inch node spacing but can be customized with a variety of node spacings, ranging from 3 inches to 24 inches, to meet specific design needs. The strands can be field-shortened, offering additional flexibility to accommodate both large and small installations.

The iW Flex Compact integrates seamlessly with Color Kinetics' full range of controllers, including Light System Manager, iPlayer 3, and Antumbra iColor Keypad, as well as third-party controllers, offering robust control over the system's lighting effects. The system is designed for easy installation, with integrated watertight 3-pin connectors and a range of optional accessories, including mounting tracks, snap-on spacers, and glare shields, to ensure a clean and professional setup. Custom leader cables in various lengths are also available for installations requiring longer distances from power/data supplies.
