COB construction: light without the dotsTraditional SMD tape places individual diodes along the board, which shows up as scallops and dots on a wall or inside a channel. This
COB LED strip packs
512 LEDs per metre under a continuous phosphor coating, so the emitting surface behaves like a single line of light. On a
PCB only 8mm wide and
1.5mm thick, the tape bends along curves, coves and rounded millwork without breaking the light line, which is exactly why designers specify COB for cove lighting, under-cabinet runs and display work where the fixture must stay invisible.
Light quality you can trustWith
CRI 90+, colours stay honest: white oak looks like white oak, paint samples match, food and merchandise look appetizing instead of washed out. The
120º lighting angle throws a wide, even wash that fills a cove or lights a countertop from edge to edge, and because the strip is
dimmable, the same installation can serve as bright task lighting at breakfast and soft ambient lighting at night. Remember that dimming is done through a compatible low-voltage dimmer or a dimmable 24V driver, not a standard line-voltage wall dimmer wired directly to the tape.

Electrical and installation notesPlan your runs first: the
maximum continuous length is 5m, so longer installations should be split into separate runs fed from the driver rather than chained end to end. Multiply 11W by your total metres, then choose a
24V DC driver with headroom to spare. Cut only on the marked
62.5mm cut lines, clean and dry the surface before pressing the
3M double-sided tape into place, and mount the tape in an aluminum profile whenever it sits against wood or drywall — the channel spreads heat, protects the strip and, with a frosted diffuser, perfects the seamless effect. The
IP22 rating means indoor, dry-location use: keep it out of showers, pools and exterior runs, and note that waterproof IP66 versions of our LED strips exist for those jobs. Operating range is
-20ºC to +60ºC.
Applications, family and documentationThink under-cabinet lighting in a kitchen renovation, toe-kick and stair-nosing accents, floating shelves, wardrobe and pantry interiors, a backlit bathroom mirror frame, reception desks, bar fronts, jewelry and bakery display cases, or a cove that washes a condo ceiling in warm light. Need a different white or a bigger reel for a large commercial job? The same strip is offered as
LED strip 11W/m (COB) 24V 30K,
LED strip 11W/m (COB) 40K, and in 30 m format as
LED strip 11W/m (COB) 27K 30M or
LED strip 11W/m (COB) 40K 30M. The full technical PDF (LCLS24VCOB-11W-27K spec sheet) is available in the Documentation tab for your submittals and contractor packages.
