3 Features
nPixel eects strip with 40 tri-colour SMD LEDs (RGB)
nControl via Pixel Rail Drive 640 (item no.: 449740)
nVoltage supply via LAN cable (Cat)
nRobust aluminium die-cast housing
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This eect
increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants
by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.
