LUMENSTARLED's outdoor COB LED tape light is engineered with densely packed chip-on-board LED technology that eliminates the dotted appearance common in traditional strip lights. This results in a perfectly uniform light output across the entire length of the strip, making it ideal for applications where visible LED points would be distracting. The high CRI rating ensures that colors in your outdoor environment — from landscaping and stonework to furniture and décor — appear rich, natural, and true to life under artificial lighting.

Operating on a safe low-voltage DC system, this tape light requires a compatible LED driver to convert standard household power. Using a high-quality, efficient LED driver is essential for stable dimming performance, flicker-free operation, and long-term reliability. LUMENSTARLED recommends pairing this product with a driver that matches the total wattage of your installation and supports smooth dimming curves when connected to a compatible wall dimmer.

Built for Canadian climates, this strip light carries an IP-rated design for wet locations, protecting the LED chips and circuitry from rain, snow, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. The flexible circuit board also incorporates thoughtful thermal management, allowing heat to dissipate efficiently along the strip so the LEDs maintain their rated lifespan and consistent color output over thousands of hours of use.

Compared to traditional halogen or incandescent outdoor lighting, switching to LED tape light can result in significant energy savings — often reducing consumption by up to 80% while delivering equal or superior brightness. Installation is straightforward: the strip features an adhesive backing and designated cut points, and it can be mounted inside compatible aluminum channels for added protection and a polished, finished look. As always, this product is cUL/CSA approved and should be installed in accordance with local Canadian electrical codes.
