CM-150 CA

Control module for large scale architectural and media 

applications using Flex nodes

•  Supports up to 150 W of power output—

CM-150 CA accommodates input and output 

voltages of 7.5, 12, and 24 volts, so it’s compatible 

with all current and discontinued Flex family 

products from Philips Color Kinetics. CM-150 CA 

supports up to two strands of Flex, with up to 75 

nodes per strand.

•  Modular and versatile—CM-150 CA is available 

in a surface mount or DIN rail mount form 

factor, allowing placement in indoor and outdoor 

environments, or in your own custom housing. 

CM-150 CA is compatible with third-party power 

supplies, so you can purchase the power supplies 

that work best for your installation.

•  Available with 3-wire or 4-wire output—3-wire 

output is a cost-effective option for shorter runs 

of up to 7.6 m (25 ft) from the CM-150 CA to 

your Flex strands. 4-wire output offers more 

flexibility of placement and can be used in runs 

of up to 30.5 m (100 ft) from the CM-150 CA 

to your Flex strands. Longer leader cables are 

available for custom configurations.

•  Integrated test button—CM-150 CA features an 

onboard button for testing LED nodes that are 

attached to the control module, even before fully 

installing your control system. Press this button 

to instantly show a color wash on attached Flex 

nodes, confirming that your devices are working 

just as you expect them to. Press the button 

again, and your Flex nodes will resume normal 

operation. On-board indicator LEDs provide 

visual feedback for normal operation, DMX and 

Ethernet connection detection, and Ethernet 

data transmission.

•  Compatible with ActiveSite—CM-150 CA is 

designed to work with ActiveSite from Philips 

Color Kinetics. With ActiveSite, you can check 

the devices on your lighting network right from 

your web browser. And because ActiveSite 

knows the status of your control module, you can 

instantly pinpoint a problematic CM-150 CA or 

attached LED nodes from anywhere in the world.

CM-150 CA delivers integrated data and power to Flex LED luminaires from Philips Color Kinetics. With 

multiple mounting options, CM-150 CA is the single solution for all large scale installations using Flex nodes, 

whether color or white. An integrated test button instantly confirms proper functioning of your devices, 

eliminating costly and time-consuming reinstallation.

DMX and Ethernet input 

and output

CM-150 CA can accept DMX or 

Ethernet data. DMX and Ethernet 

output ports allow for daisy-

chaining of control modules.
