iColor Flex LMX gen2

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. The flexible form factor accommodates two- and three-dimensional configurations, 

while high light output affords superior long-distance viewing for architectural accent and perimeter lighting, 

large-scale signage, and building-covering video displays.

•  Multiple lens options—Clear flat, translucent 

dome, and narrow beam lenses are standard. 

Optional marquee lenses, available in clear, 

semi-frosted, and translucent, snap onto flat-

lens nodes to create the appearance of bulbs on 

a traditional theatre marquee. You can mount 

marquee lenses in front of a substrate or directly 

to mounted strands.

•  Adaptable mounting—iColor Flex LMX gen2 

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 snap-on spacers hide 

cabling and mounting hardware between nodes 

for a clean, finished look. Single node mounts 

can be positioned individually to provide anchor 

points for installations with uneven node spacing 

or complex geometries. Optional glare shields can 

block unwanted spill light or prevent light sources 

from being visible in certain applications.

•  Standard and custom lengths and node spacing—

Standard on-center node spacing of 102 mm 

(4 in) or 305 mm (12 in) and custom spacing from 

76 mm (3 in) to 610 mm (24 in) support virtually 

any lighting or video design. Standard 50-node 

strands can be field-shortened. Custom lengths of 

1 to 60 nodes are also available. For information 

about custom orders, see the iColor Flex LMX 

gen2 Ordering Sheet at www.colorkinetics.com/ls/

rgb/flexlmx/.

•  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—iColor Flex LMX gen2 

works seamlessly with the Philips Color Kinetics 

full range of controllers, including Light System 

Manager, Video System Manager Pro, iPlayer 3, 

Antumbra iColor Keypad, and ColorDial Pro, or 

third-party controllers.

•  Outdoor rated—Fully sealed for maximum node 

life and IP66-rated for outdoor applications.

Daylight Visible

iColor Flex LMX gen2 
strands consist of 50 large, 
individually controllable, 
high-intensity LED nodes. 
Each node produces full-
color light output of up to 
28.7 candela.
