Continuous light, zero dotsTraditional tape lights space individual diodes along a board, which is why you see a row of dots through a diffuser. A
COB LED strip spreads hundreds of tiny chips under a phosphor coating, so what you see is one uninterrupted band of light. On this model the chips sit on a
3-ounce circuit board, a heavier copper layer that helps spread heat along the run and supports consistent brightness over the full 8 metres. The strip measures 8 mm wide and 2 mm high, one of the slimmest profiles available for
LED strip lighting, which is exactly why designers reach for it when the channel, the reveal or the cabinet lip leaves almost no room.
Light quality you can trustThis SKU is the
3000K warm white version — the comfortable, golden-leaning white most people want in kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms. With a
CRI of 90+, colours stay honest: white quartz looks white, walnut looks warm, food looks appetizing. The 98.4° lighting angle gives a wide, even spread, so a single run tucked under an upper cabinet covers the counter without stripes, and typical output is 900 lumens per metre (values vary slightly with the Kelvin chosen across the family).

Wiring, dimming and installationPower comes from a 24V DC source; plan on a
12 W/m power supply so the driver isn't running at its limit. The roll ships with a female DC plug (15 cm) on one end, ready for a plug-in transformer, and two bare wires (15 cm) on the other end for hard-wired setups. Cuts are made every 50 mm on the marked lines — and because no quick connector exists for the 8 mm COB format, cut ends are reconnected by
soldering extension wires, as shown in the product images. Dimming works two ways: a low-voltage dimmer/remote combo on the DC side, or a dimmable power supply controlled by a 120V AC dimmer. Heat dissipation isn't strictly necessary, but installing the strip on a heat-dissipating surface or inside an aluminum channel is recommended for long-term performance. Clean and dry the surface before pressing the
3M adhesive down.
Where it works and what pairs with itUnder-cabinet task lighting, toe-kick glow, cove and crown moulding lighting, stair and hallway guidance, closet and pantry shelving, bar fronts, retail display cases, reception desks and salon mirrors — all classic uses for this
indoor LED strip. In an aluminum extrusion it becomes a true linear fixture: combined with the
8 feet interior aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX710) and its Premium Diffuser, the finished assembly is less than 6 mm thick, ideal for recessed reveals and millwork. For smaller rooms or shorter runs, the
24V 5M IP20 8MM COB LED strip - White covers the same job in a 5-metre roll. The full technical PDF for this
8 mm COB LED strip is available in the Documentation tab for your specifier, electrician or inspector.
