Color Kinetics iW Flex Compact - 2700K to 6500K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Translucent Dome Lens and 4-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [501-000016-02]

The Color Kinetics iW Flex Compact (Model # 501-000016-02) is a cutting-edge, flexible lighting solution designed to deliver high-intensity, tunable white light for expansive installations. Ideal for large-scale signage, architectural lighting, and building-covering video displays, this system features 50 individually addressable LED nodes per strand. Offering color temperatures that range from 2700K to 6500K, the iW Flex Compact provides dynamic control over the light output, ensuring that it can create the perfect lighting effect for any application. Whether used for artistic video effects or architectural detailing, this system offers the flexibility to design without constraints in size or shape.

The iW Flex Compact strand features a translucent UV-protected polycarbonate lens that ensures optimal light diffusion while protecting the LEDs. With a viewing angle of 165°, it provides expansive coverage and ensures that the light is evenly distributed. Each node of the system delivers up to 91.6 candela, ensuring excellent brightness for both long-distance visibility and fine-detail illumination. The white polycarbonate housing enhances the system's aesthetic and durability, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance.

This flexible lighting solution is IP66-rated, meaning it is fully sealed against dust and water, providing reliable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions. With standard 4-inch node spacing and the ability to customize spacing from 3 inches to 24 inches, the system adapts easily to any design requirements. The strands can also be field-shortened, allowing for greater flexibility during installation. This ensures that the iW Flex Compact can be used in both large-scale projects and more compact, intricate designs.

The system integrates seamlessly with Color Kinetics' full range of controllers, including Light System Manager, iPlayer 3, Antumbra iColor Keypad, and ColorDial Pro, as well as third-party DMX and Ethernet controllers. This allows for precise control of the lighting effects and ensures the perfect match for any project. The system's installation is made simple with integrated watertight 3-pin connectors, while optional accessories like glare shields, mounting tracks, and snap-on spacers allow for easy customization and a clean, professional finish.
