The Canolight SOB LED strip light leverages advanced Surface On Board LED technology, which places the LED die directly onto the flexible circuit board beneath a uniform phosphor layer. This construction produces an exceptionally smooth, dot-free light output that outperforms conventional COB (Chip On Board) strip lights in both brightness and consistency. The result is a continuous, linear light source ideal for architectural lighting applications where visible LED points would be distracting or undesirable.
Thermal performance is a critical factor in LED longevity, and this strip is engineered with an efficient thermal management design that dissipates heat effectively across the flexible PCB. When paired with aluminum mounting channels — which act as passive heat sinks — the strip maintains optimal operating temperatures that help preserve LED lifespan and color stability over tens of thousands of hours. For best results, pair this strip with a high-quality, compatible constant voltage LED driver rated to match your total installation length and load requirements.
This product is cUL listed and meets rigorous Canadian electrical safety standards, giving homeowners and electricians alike peace of mind during installation. It features a high CRI rating, ensuring that colors in your home appear rich, accurate, and true to life — an important consideration for kitchens, art displays, and retail-style closet lighting. The strip is also compatible with most leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers for smooth, flicker-free dimming performance down to low levels.
Compared to traditional halogen or fluorescent under-cabinet fixtures, this energy-efficient LED strip dramatically reduces power consumption while delivering equal or greater light output. Installation is straightforward — the strip can be cut at designated intervals, soldered or connected with snap-on terminals, and mounted using adhesive backing or clip-in aluminum extrusion channels. Whether you are a seasoned electrician or a confident DIYer, the flexible design and generous run lengths make it adaptable to virtually any residential lighting project.
