The COB (Chip-on-Board) technology used in this Canolight strip light places hundreds of LED chips directly on the circuit board in a continuous linear array, eliminating the individual dot pattern seen in traditional SMD strips. The result is an exceptionally smooth, shadow-free light output across the full 5m length. This makes it a preferred choice for cove lighting, under-cabinet applications, display shelving, and any installation where light uniformity is critical to the final aesthetic.
With a density of 480 LEDs per metre and an 8mm PCB width, this strip delivers impressive luminous output relative to its compact footprint. The 9W/m power draw is consistent and efficient, making it easy to plan your power supply requirements for single or multi-run installations. At 24V DC, voltage drop over the 5-metre roll is minimal, ensuring consistent brightness from start to end — a crucial performance advantage for longer runs.
The 5000K colour temperature produces a clean, daylight-quality white light with excellent colour rendering, making it well-suited for task lighting, retail environments, photography studios, and commercial display cases. This cool white output enhances the visibility of products, surfaces, and architectural features, making spaces appear brighter and more vibrant without the harshness of blue-shifted light sources.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the strip's flexible PCB and standard adhesive backing, which allows it to conform to curved or straight surfaces inside aluminum channels or direct-mount applications. The IP20 rating makes it suitable for all standard indoor environments. Compatible with a wide range of 24V LED drivers and dimmers, this strip integrates seamlessly into both simple and complex lighting control systems.
The Canolight CL-ST-COB-480-9-2420-5K is the ideal choice for professionals seeking a reliable, high-density COB strip with a consistent colour output and a clean linear profile. Available through Lumibox and LEDCo, Canadian distributors committed to quality LED lighting solutions, this product is ready to meet the demands of residential, commercial, and hospitality lighting projects across Canada.
