Say goodbye to that dotted "string of pearls" look. The 24V 5M IP20 12MM COB LED STRIP - RGB from LED MONTREAL is a dot-free, continuous-light LED strip — what most people call LED strip lights, LED light strips, LED lighting strips or simply a colour-changing ribbon. Instead of individual diodes spaced along the board, COB (Chip On Board) technology packs a super-high density of chips under a single phosphor layer, so all you see is one smooth line of colour. Red, green, blue and every shade you mix in between: it's the strip you reach for when you want mood lighting under kitchen cabinets, behind a TV wall, along a staircase, in a home theatre, a games room, a bar counter or a retail display — and you don't want anyone counting the dots.

Here's what you're working with: a 24V DC strip drawing 14.4W per metre, with a recommended power supply sized at 18W/m. It measures 5 metres long, 12mm wide and only 2mm thick, so it slips into tight reveals and slim channels. The CRI is 90+ with a wide 98.4° beam angle, and the pro-grade 3 ounce copper circuit board delivers better light consistency and superior heat dissipation than thin-copper strips. It can be cut every 50mm, comes with 3M self-adhesive backing, and is fitted with 4 wires (15cm) at each end for easy feeds and extensions. cULus certified for Canada and the USA, rated iP20 for indoor dry locations, rated for an operating range of 40C to -10C, and built for 50 000+ hours. It's fully dimmable with a low-voltage controller/remote combo.

This is a residential and commercial workhorse: condo kitchens, basement renos, coves and crown mouldings, restaurant bars, boutique shelving, salon reception desks and office feature walls across Canada. For the cleanest neon-like finish — and to help the strip run cool and last — mount it in an aluminum channel such as the 8 feet aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX740) with its Premium diffuser. Order SKU COBRGB and give your project that seamless line of colour.

Built like a pro-grade strip
The difference between a strip that fades unevenly after a year and one that keeps its line is usually the circuit board. This COB LED strip uses a 3 ounce copper board, which spreads current more evenly across the full 5 metres and pulls heat away from the chips far better than lightweight boards. On top sits the COB (Chip On Board) layer: hundreds of tiny emitters under one continuous phosphor coating, giving you that dot-free, neon-like line instead of visible hot spots. At 12mm wide and 2mm thick, it hides in reveals, cabinet undersides and slim aluminum profiles that a fatter strip simply won't fit.

Colour and light quality
This is a true RGB LED strip — red, green and blue channels you mix for millions of shades, from a warm amber party glow to a deep theatre blue. The CRI of 90+ means colours in the room stay honest and rich rather than washed out, and the 98.4° lighting angle spreads light wide and smooth across a wall or a backsplash instead of firing a narrow stripe. Because the emitters are continuous, the effect through a frosted diffuser reads as a single bar of colour — exactly the look designers ask for on cove ceilings and feature walls.

Wiring, dimming and installation
Installation is straightforward low-voltage work. Feed the strip with a 24V DC power supply sized at 18W/m for the length you actually install, and run it through an RGB controller: the strip is dimmable with a low voltage controller/remote combo, which is also what mixes your colours and runs fades or static scenes. The 4 wires (15cm) at each end make it easy to feed from either side or to continue a run around a corner. Need a custom length? Cut on the marked points every 50mm, clean the surface, peel the 3M adhesive and press firmly. Since it is iP20, keep it in dry indoor locations — no bathrooms showers, no outdoor soffits, no wet basements.

Where it works and what it pairs with
Think kitchen under-cabinet and toe-kick accents, coffered and cove ceilings, closet shelving, headboards, home theatres, basement bars, staircase nosings, retail display cases, restaurant counters and office reception walls. Heat dissipation is not mandatory but strongly recommended: mounting the strip on an aluminum surface or inside a channel protects the chips and pushes you toward that 50 000+ hour lifespan. The natural companion is the 8 feet aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX740), whose Premium diffuser turns this COB LED tape into a seamless glowing bar.
