eW Cove EC Powercore

Cost-effective linear interior LED cove and accent xture with

solid white light

Integrates patented Powercore technology

Powercore rapidly, efciently, and accurately

controls power output to xtures directly from

line voltage, eliminating the need for an external

power supply. Contractor-friendly installation

dramatically simplies installation and lowers total

system cost.

Warm and cool color temperatures Warm

2700 K xtures are appropriate for intimate,

open environments such as restaurants and hotellobbies. Cool 4000 K xtures are appropriate for

lighting clean and efcient spaces such as ofces,

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 exible 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 xtures, simplifying

installation by eliminating the need for externalpower 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 xtures

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. 1 ft

(305 mm) and 5 ft (1.5 m) jumper cables can add

extra space between xtures.

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.

Superior Binning Algorithm

Sets New Standard for ColorConsistency

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 Efciency witheW 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 galleryAs 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 thehigh-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.

Installation

eW Cove EC Powercore offers high-output , energy-eff icient 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.

Create a Layout PlanRegardless 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 species the appropriate location of the light

xtures in relation to each other, and to any dimmer switches, wall switches, and line

power sources. Identify any obstacles or physical features requiring exible jumper

cables between xtures.

2. Using the xtures power consumption and efciency 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 xture setback based on the

cove dimensions and room width. For consistent results, the cove width and

height should accommodate the xtures minimum mixing distances. We strongly

recommend creating dimensional models and mockups prior to installation.

3. eW Cove EC Powercore xtures are installed in series. The in-line connectors

allow end-to-end xture connections for the best visual effects. When installing

xtures end-to-end, allow a minimum distance of .125 in (3 mm) between xtures

and a maximum distance of .625 in (16 mm). For more spacing between xtures,

use the 1 ft (305 mm) or 5 ft (1.5 m) jumper cables.

4. You can install a run of eW Cove EC Powercore xtures using the 10 ft (3 m)

Leader Cable with ying leads. This option is preferable when connecting to a third-

party junction box, or when retrotting an existing incandescent or uorescent cove

lighting installation.

In North America, you can use the Wiring Compartment when you want to run

branch conduit all the way to the rst xture 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 xtures 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) xtures, or up

to 150 6 in (152 mm) xtures. Using the optional jumper cables can decrease the

number of xtures 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 [email protected].

Prepare for the Installation1. Verify that all supporting equipment (switches, line power sources) is in place.

2. If your installation calls for jumper cables to add space between xtures, make

sure they are available.

3. Ensure that all additional parts (optional mounting tracks, mounting hardware,

terminators) and tools are available.

Install the FixturesYou 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 xture t, hardware must not extend above the track

standoffs after installation. The recommended maximum spacing between screws

is 12 in (305 mm).

ETo calculate the number of xtures yourspecic installation can support, download

the Conguration Calculator from

www.philipscolorkinetics.com/support/

install_tool/, or consult Philips Color

Kinetics Application Engineering Services at

[email protected].

ERefer to the installation instructionsincluded with the wall or dimmer switch for

installation and wiring information.

EYou can use the xture base as atemplate when pre-drilled pilot holes are

required. Hold the xture 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 xture as necessary to provide unobstructed

access to the mounting holes.

2. Position the rst xture in a series.

If using mounting tracks on a horizontal surface, snap the xture into the track.

If using mounting tracks on vertical or overhead surfaces, or if not using mounting

tracks, attach the xture 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 xture in the series, matching the male connector end to the

female connector of the previously mounted xture. Attach the xture to the

surface or snap it into the track.

4. Continue mounting the xtures, making power connections as you go, until all

lights in the series are mounted.

5. Insert the provided terminator into the last xture in the series.
