eW Flex Compact

Flexible strands of high-intensity LED nodes with solid white light

eW Flex Compact

Flexible strands of high-intensity LED nodes with solid white light

eW Flex Compact is a versatile strand of 50 individually controllable LED nodes. The flexible form factor allows dynamic points of white light
to be installed across nearly any interior or exterior surface, including walls, ceilings, floors, three-dimensional sculptures, and set pieces. eW Flex
Compact can also light tight alcove spaces and signage, and in certain cases, can even display video.

• Daylight visible — At full brightness, each node
produces light output of up to 31.5 candela and
47679 nit s.

• Adaptable mounting — Strands can be mounted
directly to a surface, like traditional string lights.
Detachable leader cables in multiple lengths allow
you to install strings at the appropriate distance
from power/data supplies. Optional mounting
tracks ensure straight linear runs, while snap­on spacers hide cabling and mounting hardware.
Single node mounts can be positioned individually
as anchor points for installations with uneven
node spacing or complex geometries.

• Outdoor rated — Fully sealed for maximum

xture life and IP66-rated for outdoor

applications.

• Supports cost-effective video displays — Flexible
form factor, offering maximum lighting control at
50 W per strand, accommodates unique lighting
installations, including two- and three-dimensional
video displays. White nodes enable classic black and
white video or reverse (shadow) video.

• Multiple lens options — Standard clear at and
translucent dome lenses. Optional translucent at,
clear dome, semi-frosted at, and semi-frosted

dome lenses are available.

• Standard and custom lengths and node
spacing — eW Flex Compact strands are available
with standard on-center node spacing of 102 mm
(4 in) or 305 mm (12 in) along a three-wire, 18
AWG cable. For information about custom orders,
see the eW Flex Compact Ordering Sheet at
www.philipscolorkinetics.com/ls/essentialwhite/
ewflexcompact/

• Custom Leader Cables — Custom Leader Cable
lengths are available in addition to standard cables
of 7.6 m (25 ft), 15.2 m (50 ft), and 30.5 m (100 ft).

• Industry-leading controls — eW Flex Compact
works seamlessly with the complete Philips line of
controllers, including Video System Manager Pro,
Light System Manager, and iPlayer 3, as well as

third-party DMX controllers.
