The COB (Chip-on-Board) LED technology used in the LS-FLI-9B-24-320-5K fundamentally changes what's possible with flexible strip lighting. Unlike conventional SMD strips where individual LED dots are visible, COB technology fuses hundreds of chips into a continuous light-emitting surface. With 320 LEDs per metre densely packed along the full 5-metre (16.4 ft) length, the result is a smooth, dot-free beam that looks refined in every architectural application.
Operating at 24V DC, this tape offers a significant safety and performance advantage over 12V alternatives, supporting longer uninterrupted runs without voltage drop issues. The 1.5W per foot (5W per metre) power draw is optimized for efficiency, making it an intelligent choice for both residential renovations and commercial fit-outs where energy performance and operating costs matter.
The CRI 90 colour rendering index is a critical specification for spaces where visual quality is non-negotiable — boutique retail, hospitality, art galleries, high-end residential kitchens, and professional studios. At 5000K, this tape produces a clean, neutral daylight tone that sharpens contrast, improves task visibility, and makes merchandise, finishes, and artwork appear vivid and true-to-life.
Full dimmability adds another dimension of control to your lighting design. Paired with a compatible 24V PWM or 0-10V dimmer, the LumenstarLED COB strip transitions flicker-free from full brightness down to low ambient levels, supporting both functional and decorative lighting scenes. This makes it equally at home in a kitchen under-cabinet installation as in a sophisticated cove or valance detail.
Designed for indoor use, this LumenstarLED tape is built to perform reliably in controlled environments — retail interiors, hospitality settings, residential spaces, and commercial offices. The flexible PCB board allows the strip to follow curves, corners, and custom profiles with ease, and the 24V platform ensures compatibility with a wide range of Canadian-market LED drivers and dimming controls available through Lumibox and LEDCo.
