The COB (Chip-on-Board) technology used in this LumenstarLED tape is a major leap forward from traditional SMD strips. By packing 900 individual LED chips per metre into a continuous phosphor layer, COB construction eliminates the individual LED points visible in conventional strips. The result is a perfectly smooth, linear light source with zero pixelation — essential for premium architectural cove lighting, hotel corridors, retail displays and residential feature walls where light quality cannot be compromised.
Running on a safe and efficient 24V DC power supply, the strip consumes 6W per linear foot (20W per metre), striking the ideal balance between high output and energy efficiency. Over the full 4-metre (13-foot) roll, total consumption is manageable while light output remains powerful enough for functional and decorative indoor tasks. The 24V system also allows longer continuous runs compared to 12V alternatives, reducing the need for additional injection points in larger installations.
The RGBW + 2700K configuration is what sets this tape apart from standard RGB or single-colour strips. Four distinct channels — Red, Green, Blue, and a dedicated Warm White 2700K — allow complete control over both colour saturation and white light quality. The warm white channel, rated at CRI 90+, delivers accurate colour rendering that flatters skin tones and surfaces, making it the preferred choice for restaurants, spas, boutique retail and luxury residential projects across Canada.
Dimming performance is smooth and flicker-free across the full range, compatible with leading RGBW PWM dimmers and controllers. Whether integrated into a smart home system or controlled via a standalone RGBW controller, this tape responds predictably and accurately. The dimmable design ensures you can fine-tune the ambiance — from vibrant colour washes to soft, warm glows — without compromising the integrity of the light output at any level.
Designed exclusively for indoor use, the LumenstarLED FLI-9A-24-900-RGBW is built with consistent quality for professional installers, lighting designers and sophisticated DIY enthusiasts. Its flexible PCB allows it to navigate curves and corners with ease, and the high-density COB format means the strip can be mounted in tight channels or diffuser profiles for a clean, finished look. Available through Lumibox and LEDCo, this is the professional-grade COB RGBW tape that Canadian lighting projects demand.
