This CANOLIGHT COB strip light utilizes advanced Chip-on-Board LED technology, where densely packed diodes are mounted directly onto the flexible circuit board to produce a continuous, uniform light output with no hot spots or visible dots. This design results in a high CRI rating that renders colours accurately and naturally — an important consideration for task lighting in kitchens, vanities, and workspaces where true colour representation matters.
Engineered to operate on a low-voltage DC system, this strip light requires a compatible efficient LED driver (sold separately) that converts standard household power to safe, stable output. Using a quality constant-voltage driver ensures flicker-free performance, consistent brightness across the full run length, and long-term reliability. Compared to traditional halogen or incandescent rope lights, this LED solution delivers dramatically reduced energy consumption — helping lower your household electricity costs while providing superior light quality.
The strip features a robust IP-rated construction for wet locations, employing a protective silicone or encapsulation layer that shields the LEDs and circuitry from moisture, dust, and physical contact. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations, bathroom niches, pool surrounds, and other areas exposed to the elements. The advanced thermal management of the narrow PCB design ensures heat is dissipated efficiently, preserving LED lifespan and maintaining consistent colour output over thousands of hours of operation.
For installation, the strip can be cut at designated intervals and connected using compatible solderless connectors or direct soldering for a permanent bond. We recommend mounting inside dedicated aluminum extrusion channels — which serve as both a heatsink and a finished housing — to maximize LED longevity and create a polished, professional look. All CANOLIGHT products are designed to meet cUL and CSA safety approvals, ensuring compliance with Canadian electrical codes and giving homeowners confidence in a safe, dependable lighting installation.
