The FLEX series is ideal for spaces where the light will be in direct view. As the name implies,
these LED lights are flexible and can be easily molded into dierent curvatures. The housing and
the lens allow for a perfect monochromatic light source with no hot spots. All of Q-Tran's FLEX
series fixtures are made with high-quality SMD LED chips, are UV and flame resistant and are
extremely energy-ecient.
The FLEX Mini Static White is available in a variety of dierent color temperatures ranging from
2200K to 5700K and can be specified with either PVC or Silicone construction.
