The COB (Chip-on-Board) technology used in this LumenstarLED tape light places hundreds of microscopic LED chips directly on a shared substrate, eliminating the individual LED hot spots that create the dotted effect seen in traditional strips. The result is a perfectly continuous, linear light source — ideal for applications where aesthetics are as important as output. At 480 LEDs per metre, the density ensures outstanding uniformity even when viewed at close range.
Running on 12V DC, this tape is compatible with a wide range of low-voltage power supplies and dimming drivers available in Canada. With a consumption of 3W per foot (10W per metre) across the full 5-metre roll, total system draw is manageable and energy-efficient, making it suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects requiring reliable, low-profile linear lighting.
The 5000K colour temperature falls in the daylight range, offering a clean, bright white light that improves visual clarity and focus. This makes the tape particularly well-suited for task-oriented environments such as kitchen countertops, retail displays, studio workspaces, and architectural features where accurate colour rendering is essential. The CRI 90 rating ensures colours appear true and vivid under this light source.
Dimming capability adds versatility to any installation. Compatible with standard 12V PWM dimmers, this COB tape allows smooth, flicker-free brightness adjustment from full intensity down to low ambient levels. This flexibility makes it appropriate for layered lighting designs where mood and functionality must coexist — from bright task lighting during the day to soft accent lighting in the evening.
Built for indoor applications, the LumenstarLED LS-FLI-9B-12-480-5K is engineered to meet the demands of professional lighting projects across Canada. Its flexible substrate allows it to be cut and customized to fit virtually any linear run, and it adheres securely with its integrated backing. Whether specified by a lighting designer or installed by an electrician, this COB tape delivers consistent, premium results every time.
