The LumenstarLED LS-FLI-9B-12-480-4K is engineered for indoor environments where light quality and visual comfort are paramount. Its COB (Chip-on-Board) LED architecture positions hundreds of micro-chips side by side along the strip, eliminating the individual LED hot spots that are common with traditional SMD tape lights. The result is a seamless linear glow with zero visible dots — perfect for applications where the strip itself may be partially visible.
Running at 12V DC, this tape is safe to handle and integrate into low-voltage residential or commercial systems. At a power draw of 3W per foot (10W per metre) across the full 5-metre (16.4-foot) roll, the total consumption is highly manageable while delivering substantial brightness. The 480 LEDs per metre density ensures a uniform light plane with no dark zones or banding, even when viewed at close range.
A Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of 90 places this COB tape firmly in the high-fidelity lighting category. Objects, finishes, and fabrics illuminated by this strip appear true to their natural colours — a critical factor for retail merchandise displays, art galleries, hospitality environments, and premium residential spaces. The 4000K neutral white output strikes the balance between warm comfort and cool clarity, making it versatile across many design applications.
The fully dimmable capability of this tape light means it can be paired with compatible 12V DC PWM or 0-10V dimmers to smoothly adjust brightness from full output down to low levels without flicker or colour shift. This flexibility allows lighting designers and contractors to fine-tune ambiance precisely, enhancing both functionality and the occupant experience in any space.
Designed specifically for indoor use, the LumenstarLED COB tape is well-suited for under-cabinet lighting, cove and valance installations, display case illumination, staircase accent lighting, and TV or monitor backlighting. Its flexible substrate allows it to be cut to length (at designated cut points) and mounted easily using adhesive backing or mounting channels for a clean, professional finish.
