The Flexible Cathode Light Strip (FCLS) brings cold cathode lighting into the 21st century. It effectively eliminates the bulky magnetic transformers, ballasts, and fixture dimensions associated with traditional component-based cold-cathode lighting systems. It combines all the best features of shadowless long-life, high-brightness cold-cathode fluorescent lighting, with the simplicity of a self-contained, discreet, flexible fixture.
Each beautifully-designed fixture can conform to almost any shape or size (straight, curved or bent) of Cathode Lighting Systems' custom or standardized lamps, in an almost infinite variety of deeply-saturated colors and high color-rendering whites. The Flexible Cathode Light Strip (FCLS) is completely modular, low profile (only 2 3/4" tall, including the lamp) installs in minutes, and offers the convenience of "plug-and-play" connections between fixtures. Lamps simply snap in and out, and all fixtures are provided as standard, with integral, inaudible electronic dimming ballasts.
"FLEXIBLE CATHODE LIGHT STRIP...BECAUSE THE WORLD IS ROUND"
- Illumination is seamless, from end to end, with no dark spots or socket shadow.
- Each fixture can flex or conform to almost any shape or size of lamp (straight, curved or bent) up to 7' 6" long.
- Reliable, long-life T6 cold cathode lamps (up to 50,000 hours of life) lamps are availble in standard or custom straight lengths, and can be custom-curved or bent to conform to almost any architectural requirement.
- Lamp brightness is comparable to T5 fluorescent.
- Lamps snap in and out of fixtures via innovative zero-clearance lamp bases and lampholders.
- New electronic ballast technology offers inaudible operation.
- Extremely low profile, only 2 3/4" tall with lamp installed
- External "plug and play" modular connectors allow rapid installation, and eliminate all manual wiring between fixtures.
- Fixtures are completely self contained. Absolutely no disassembly of the fixture is required to install. Simply install the fixture on its mounting surface, snap lamp in, and plug into the next fixture.
- All fixtures are dimmable, and are compatible with 3-wire fluorescent dimmers.
- All fixtures dim at the same rate, regardless of variations in lamp length or shape.
- Wide color selection
