  • Page 1 Flex LMX gen2 Flexible strands of high-intensity LED nodes with intelligent color light...
  • Page 2 Flexible strands of high-intensity LED nodes with intelligent color light iColor Flex LMX gen2 are flexible strands of large, high-intensity, full-color LED nodes designed for extraordinary effects and expansive installations without the constraints of luminaire size, shape, or space. Each iColor Flex LMX gen2 strand consists of 50 individually addressable LED nodes, featuring dynamic integration of power, communication, and control.
  • Page 3 LED solution that could transform its four sides into a massive video matrix. Philips Colombia and Philips Color Kinetics were able to provide the perfect solution with iColor Flex LMX (now specified as iColor Flex LMX gen2), strands of flexible, high-intensity, full-color LED nodes designed for extraordinary effects and expansive installations.

    100,000 hrs † Lumen measurement complies with IES LM-79-08 testing procedures. § Lxx = xx% lumen maintenance (when light output drops below xx% of initial output). All values are given at B10, or the median value where 90% of the LED population is better than the reported or calculated lumen maintenance measurement. ¶ Lumen maintenance figures are based on lifetime prediction graphs supplied by LED source manufacturers. Whenever possible, figures use measurements that comply with IES LM-80-08 testing procedures. In accordance with TM-21-11, Reported values represent the interpolated value based on six times the LM-80-08 total test duration (in hours). Calculated values represent time durations that exceed six times the total test duration. iColor Flex LMX gen2 Product Guide...

    Use Item Number when ordering in North America. Installation iColor Flex LMX gen2 can be used in a wide range of two-dimensional and three- dimensional configurations, including portable video screens and permanent building- covering displays. iColor Flex LMX gen2 installations are not constrained by luminaire size, shape, or architectural space.
  • Page 11 Each node in a strand of iColor Flex LMX gen2 is identified by a light number. A light number corresponds to three sequential DMX addresses, one for red, one for green, and one for blue. A DMX universe consists of 512 addresses, so the maximum...
  • Page 12 DMX installations, the plan should record the DMX base number and node count for each iColor Flex LMX gen2 strand. For Ethernet installations, the plan should record the IP address of each power/data supply and the number of nodes per power/data supply port.

    Flex LMX gen2 nodes to an available power/data supply port using a leader cable of 7.6 m (25 ft), 15.2 m (50 ft), or 30.5 m (100 ft). • iColor Flex LMX gen2 Leader Cables can be shortened, and strands can be cut to any node length. An extra termination cap is included for sealing the cut end of the strand.
  • Page 14 Mount iColor Flex LMX gen2 Strands You can mount iColor Flex LMX gen2 strands directly to a mounting surface, or you can mount them using optional mounting hardware (available separately): • Mounting tracks ensure straight runs in linear applications. If using strands with Optional Marquee Lens and Glare Shield Kits use their own mounting tracks and spacers.
  • Page 15 Mounting iColor Flex LMX gen2 Strands Directly to a Mounting Surface 1. Using a pencil or chalk line, mark a center-line path for the nodes to follow. 2. Fasten iColor Flex LMX gen2 strands to the mounting surface using a suitable mounting method. For example, you can mount strands to a pipe or cable using plastic cable ties.
  • Page 16 You can install 1. Using a pencil or chalk line, mark a center-line path for the nodes to follow. either a marquee lens or glare shield on a node, but not both. 2. Clip a lens or glare shield holder over each iColor Flex LMX gen2 node. 3. Do one of the following: Marquee Lens Kit • Screw a marquee lens onto the lens holder. Hand tighten to approximately 1.1 to 1.7 Nm (10 to 15 in-lbs).
  • Page 17 Mounting iColor Flex LMX gen2 Strands with Accessories in Front of a Substrate 1. Prepare the substrate by cutting openings of the appropriate diameter in the required locations. To accommodate the threads on the marquee lens holder or the ridges on the glare shield holder, the recommended substrate thickness is 1.6 mm (0.0625 in), and the maximum thickness is 3.2 mm (0.125 in). We recommend using a 1 3/8 in diameter hole saw to cut openings in the substrate. Openings should be a minimum of 35.6 mm (1.4 in) in diameter, and a maximum of 38 mm (1.5 in)
  • Page 18 5. Repeat steps 2 – 4 for each opening. 6. Once all accessories are installed on the substrate, mount iColor Flex LMX gen2 strands by inserting one node into the back of each lens or glare shield holder.
  • Page 19 Make Power and Data Connections iColor Flex LMX gen2 strands are designed to work with 24 VDC power/data supplies from Philips Color Kinetics. Power/data supplies send power and data to iColor Flex LMX gen2 strands over a leader cable.

  • Page 21 Power/data supplies and controllers work together to stream data to the iColor Flex www.colorkinetics.com/support/addressing/. LMX gen2 strands in your installation. • Each individual iColor Flex LMX gen2 node is assigned three sequential DMX addresses, one for red, one for green, and one for blue. A DMX universe consists of 512 addresses, so the maximum number of iColor Flex LMX gen2 nodes that can be individually addressed in a DMX universe is 170 (170 x 3 = 510).
