eW Cove EC Powercore

Cost-effective linear interior LED cove and accent fixture with solid white light
eW Cove EC Powercore is a dimmable, linear LED fixture that provides an affordable, energy-efficient alternative to traditional cove lighting in applications requiring white light. With its low profile, rotating housing and flexible end-to-end locking power connectors, eW Cove EC Powercore is the perfect choice for a wide range of interior retail, exhibit, hospitality, and architectural settings. Integrates patented Powercore technology Powercore rapidly, efficiently, and accurately controls power output to fixtures directly from line voltage, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Contractor-friendly installation dramatically simplifies installation and lowers total system cost. Warm and cool color temperatures Warm 2700 K fixtures are appropriate for intimate, open environments such as restaurants and hotel lobbies. Cool 4000 K fixtures are appropriate for lighting clean and efficient spaces such as offices, classrooms, and hospitals. Support for multiple voltages eW Cove EC Powercore accepts power input of 100, 120, or 220 240 VAC for consistent installation and operation from line voltage in a variety of locations. Dimming capability Patented DIMand technology offers smooth dimming capability with selected commercially available reverse-phase ELV-type dimmers.

Compact and flexible eW Cove EC Powercore low-profile fixtures fit in narrow alcoves, display cases, light boxes, and other tight spaces where light sources requiring ballasts, external power supplies, and other auxiliary equipment can not. Sizes of 12 in (305 mm) and 6 in (152 mm) offer further flexibility in positioning. Easy installation Powercore delivers line voltage directly to the fixtures, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for external power supplies and allowing long product runs. Easy-to-install 4 ft (1.2 m) mounting tracks allow quick project setup in linear applications. Flexible mounting and positioning With end- to-end locking power connectors that can make 180 turns, eW Cove EC Powercore fixtures are easy to position in even the most challenging mounting circumstances. Fixtures rotate in 10 increments through a full 180 for precise aiming and beam mixing. Optional mounting tracks support vertical and overhead positioning. 1ft (305 mm) and 5 ft (1.5 m) jumper cables can add extra space between fixtures.

Superior Binning Algorithm Sets New Standard for Color Consistency eW Cove EC Powercore exceeds the recognized standards for color quality to guarantee uniformity and consistency of hue and color temperature across LEDs, fixtures, and manufacturing runs.

Warmth and Efficiency with eW Cove EC Powercore

eW Cove EC Powercore white-light LED fixtures offer a sustainable, low-maintenance alternative to linear incandescent or fluorescent systems. Old North Church Bostons Old North Church replaced its existing click-strip incandescent lighting with 130 eW Cove Powercore units, installed along interior niches of the churchs upper gallery. As shown on the cover and to the left, the eW Cove Powercore fixtures cast a warm glow along the churchs niches, while accentuating the historic arches and moldings. Not only do the LED fixtures consume six times less energy than the previous incandescent system (40 watts per eight-foot run, versus 240 watts), but the light sources also offer a projected useful life of 50,000 hours up to 25 times longer than the previous sources. With eW Cove Powercore fixtures in place, the management of Old North Church expects to cut energy consumption by nearly 85%. The fixtures low profile and simple line-power installation, courtesy of patented Powercore technology, enable them to fit in narrow alcoves and niches where traditional light sources that require ballasts, additional power supplies, and other equipment can not. For further efficiency and ease of use, the church can smoothly dim the eW Cove Powercore fixtures with their existing ELV-type dimmers. Flinstering Across the Atlantic, Flinstering, a fashionable restaurant in Breda, the Netherlands, uses LED lighting to create ambiance and atmosphere while benefiting from its long lifetime, low maintenance, simplicity of installation, and energy efficiency. Flinstering uses the high-quality white light offered by eW Cove Powercore for dramatic illumination and accenting. As shown here, eW Cove Powercore fixtures warmly illuminate the surface beneath the colored bottles behind the bar.

eW Cove EC Powercore fixture Installation Instructions

Installation
eW Cove EC Powercore offers high-output, energy-efficient indoor solid white alcove lighting with Powercore technology. Powercore, which delivers line voltage directly to the fixture, eases installation by eliminating the need for external power supplies or special wiring. Owner / User Responsibilities It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to install, maintain, and operate eW Cove EC Powercore fixtures in such a manner as to comply with all applicable codes, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult with the appropriate electrical inspector to ensure compliance.

E Refer to the eW Cove EC Powercore Installation Instructions for specific warning and caution statements.

Create a Layout Plan

Regardless of the size and complexity of your installation, the time you spend up front can help minimize installation and configuration issues later. Keep these suggestions in mind as you plan your installation: 1. On an architectural diagram or other diagram that shows the physical layout of the installation, create a layout map that specifies the appropriate location of the light fixtures in relation to each other, and to any dimmer switches, wall switches, and line power sources. Identify any obstacles or physical features requiring flexible jumper cables between fixtures. 2. Using the fixtures power consumption and efficiency ratings, the lighting designer or architect should calculate the cove dimensions to ensure that operating temperatures remain within safe levels. The designer or architect should also determine the coves fascia design and fixture setback based on the cove dimensions and room width. For consistent results, the cove width and height should accommodate the fixtures minimum mixing distances. We strongly recommend creating dimensional models and mockups prior to installation.

3. eW Cove EC Powercore fixtures are installed in series. The in-line connectors allow end-to-end fixture connections for the best visual effects. When installing fixtures end-to-end, allow a minimum distance of .125 in (3 mm) between fixtures, and a maximum distance of .625 in (16 mm). For more spacing between fixtures, use the 1 ft (305mm) or 5 ft (1.5 m) jumper cables. 4. You can install a run of eW Cove EC Powercore fixtures using the 10 ft (3 m) Leader Cable with flying leads. This option is preferable when connecting to a thirdparty junction box, or when retrofitting an existing incandescent or fluorescent cove lighting installation. In North America, you can use the Wiring Compartment when you want to run branch conduit all the way to the first fixture in a series, or where local codes require it. You can also create a portable installation by using the 8 ft (2.4 m) Leader Cable with plug.

5. If fixtures are installed end-to-end on a 20 A circuit using the standard 10 ft (3 m) Leader Cable, each run can accommodate up 100 12 in (305 mm) fixtures, or up to 150 6 in (152 mm) fixtures. Using the optional jumper cables can decrease the number of fixtures that you can connect in a single run.

Install Wall and Dimmer Switches (optional)

eW Cove EC Powercore fixtures can be controlled either with a standard wall switch (on / off) or a compatible, commercially available electronic low-voltage (ELV) dimmer. eW Cove Powercore fixtures work with selected commercially available reverse-phase ELV-type dimmers. For a list of compatible ELV dimmers, and for details on selecting the appropriate dimmer for your lighting installation, visit www.philipscolorkinetics.com/support/ appnotes, or consult Application Engineering services at support@colorkinetics.com.

E To calculate the number of fixtures your specific installation can support, download the Configuration Calculator from www.philipscolorkinetics.com/support/ install_tool/, or consult Philips Color Kinetics Application Engineering Services at support@colorkinetics.com.

E Refer to the installation instructions included with the wall or dimmer switch for installation and wiring information.

Prepare for the Installation

1. Verify that all supporting equipment (switches, line power sources) is in place. 2. If your installation calls for jumper cables to add space between fixtures, make sure they are available. 3. Ensure that all additional parts (optional mounting tracks, mounting hardware, terminators) and tools are available.

Install the Fixtures

You can mount eW Cove EC Powercore fixtures directly to a wall, ceiling, cabinet, or other secure surface. You can install several eW Cove EC Powercore fixtures in optional 4 ft (1.2 m) lengths of mounting track to ensure a straight run. (Optional) Install Mounting Tracks 1. Field-cut the mounting tracks to the desired length with a hacksaw or tin snips. 2. Install the mounting tracks using hardware suitable for the mounting surface. To ensure proper fixture fit, hardware must not extend above the track standoffs after installation. The recommended maximum spacing between screws is 12 in (305 mm).
E You can use the fixture base as a template when pre-drilled pilot holes are required. Hold the fixture in place and mark the four screw holes.

Mount and Connect the Fixtures Make sure the power is OFF before mounting and connecting eW Cove EC Powercore fixtures. 1. Rotate an eW Cove EC Powercore fixture as necessary to provide unobstructed access to the mounting holes. 2. Position the first fixture in a series. If using mounting tracks on a horizontal surface, snap the fixture into the track. If using mounting tracks on vertical or overhead surfaces, or if not using mounting tracks, attach the fixture with four #6 (3.5 mm) mounting screws (not included) suitable for the mounting surface. Ensure that the male connector is in position to receive power from the female connector on the Leader Cable or Wiring Compartment. 3. Position the next fixture in the series, matching the male connector end to the female connector of the previously mounted fixture. Attach the fixture to the surface or snap it into the track.
