The COB (Chip-on-Board) technology used in this Canolight strip light sets it apart from conventional LED strips. By mounting hundreds of microscopic LED chips directly onto the board at a density of 480 LEDs per metre, COB strips eliminate the individual diode dots visible in standard SMD products. The result is a continuous, smooth line of light with zero hot spots — a critical advantage for high-end architectural and retail lighting where aesthetics matter as much as performance.
With a power draw of 9 watts per metre at 24 volts DC, this strip balances energy efficiency with impressive light output. The 5000K colour temperature falls in the cool daylight range, rendering colours accurately and creating a bright, alert atmosphere — perfectly suited for task lighting, product displays, workspaces, and environments that benefit from natural daylight simulation. The 24V system also allows for longer runs with minimal voltage drop compared to 12V alternatives.
The IP65 ingress protection rating means this strip is fully dust-tight and shielded against low-pressure water jets, as defined by international standards. A protective coating over the LEDs ensures long-term durability in kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor soffits, and other moderately humid or wet-adjacent environments. This makes the Canolight CL-ST-COB-480-9-2465-5K a versatile choice for both interior and semi-exterior applications without compromising the light quality.
The 8mm PCB width is an engineering highlight that enables installation in slim aluminum extrusion profiles and tight channels where wider strips simply cannot fit. Each 5-metre roll provides a generous run for most single-zone applications, and multiple rolls can be connected to cover larger surfaces. Compatible with standard 24V dimmable LED drivers, this strip integrates effortlessly into smart lighting systems and dimming controls for full scene customization.
From boutique retail displays and hospitality interiors to custom kitchen cabinetry and cove ceiling details, the Canolight COB strip light 480LED/M is engineered for projects where light quality, reliability, and a clean aesthetic are non-negotiable. Its combination of high LED density, IP65 protection, stable 24V operation, and a pure 5000K output makes it one of the most capable linear lighting solutions available for Canadian professionals and contractors.
