Color Kinetics eW Flex Micro - 3000K LED IP66-Rated Flex String with Clear Dome Lens and 4-inch Node Spacing in White Finish [500-000011-08]

The Color Kinetics eW Flex Micro (Model # 500-000011-08) is an innovative and highly versatile LED flex string, designed to provide dynamic, controllable white light for a range of creative and functional applications. Featuring 50 small, individually controllable LED nodes, this system is perfect for installations across a variety of interior and exterior surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, floors, three-dimensional sculptures, and set pieces. The system's flexible form factor makes it adaptable to nearly any lighting project, and it can even be used to display video content, offering unmatched lighting control for both artistic and architectural installations.

The eW Flex Micro operates at a color temperature of 3000K, producing a warm, inviting white light. Each node emits light output up to 10.5 candela and 7,529 nits per node at full brightness, ensuring high visibility even in daylight. This makes it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. With its IP66-rated outdoor design, the eW Flex Micro is fully sealed, offering maximum protection against dust, dirt, and water. This makes it a reliable choice for harsh environments where long-lasting performance is essential.

Equipped with clear dome lenses made from UV-protected polycarbonate, the eW Flex Micro ensures optimal light diffusion and lens protection, guaranteeing longevity and efficiency in all lighting environments. In addition to the standard clear dome lenses, the system also offers multiple lens options, including translucent dome, clear flat, and translucent flat lenses, providing further flexibility to achieve the desired lighting effect or aesthetic.

Designed with ease of installation and mounting flexibility in mind, the eW Flex Micro can be directly mounted to a variety of surfaces like traditional string lights. The system offers detachable leader cables in multiple lengths, including standard options of 7.6 m (25 ft), 15.2 m (50 ft), and 30.5 m (100 ft), allowing for flexible installation. Optional mounting tracks help ensure straight, linear runs while snap-on spacers hide the cabling and mounting hardware for a sleek, professional appearance. Single node mounts are available for installations requiring uneven node spacing or more complex geometries, providing ultimate customization for your setup.

The eW Flex Micro is designed with cost-effectiveness and versatility in mind. It allows for video displays in both two- and three-dimensional formats, with white nodes enabling black-and-white or reverse (shadow) video effects. At 25 W per strand, this system delivers powerful performance while keeping energy consumption low, with each node consuming only 0.5W of power at full output. Flexibility in node spacing options (102 mm or 305 mm) and strand length customization means the eW Flex Micro can be tailored to suit the specific needs of any installation.

For optimal control, the eW Flex Micro works seamlessly with Color Kinetics' full range of controllers, including the Video System Manager Pro, Light System Manager, and iPlayer 3, as well as third-party DMX controllers. It also supports remote monitoring and management through the Philips Interact Landmark platform, ensuring smooth operation and easy troubleshooting.
