Built as one continuous line of lightTraditional LED tape uses individual SMD diodes spaced along the board, which is why you see dots and scallops through a diffuser. This
COB LED strip (chip-on-board) covers the emitting surface with a dense phosphor layer, producing a seamless glow from end to end. On a cove, a handrail or a long ceiling reveal, that difference is instantly visible: the eye reads one clean line instead of a row of bright points. The strip stays flexible, so it bends around inside corners, curved bulkheads and rounded display fixtures where a rigid
LED bar or linear fixture would have to be broken into segments.
Line voltage means a simpler installRunning on
120V directly is the big practical advantage here. There's no low-voltage driver to size, mount, ventilate and access later, and no cumulative voltage drop forcing you to feed a long run from both ends. That makes this strip a favourite for perimeter coves in large rooms, long corridors, warehouse racking and exterior soffit details in Canadian homes and businesses where runs get long fast. Always cut only at the marked cut points, cap and seal the cut end properly, and have the line-voltage connection made by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code and your local inspection authority.

Category: 120V LED Strips
Application: residential and commercial projects
Accessories and compatible productsTo energize the run, use the
120V power cord for 12W/M COB LED strip, designed specifically for the 12W/M COB family — no guesswork on connector size or polarity. If your project calls for a different length or look of the same 12 W per metre COB strip, the family includes
LED strip 120V COB 12W/M and
LED strip 120V COB 12W/M. For a lower-output line-voltage option on very long decorative perimeters, look at the
LED strip 120V 3W/M. Many installers also pair strip with an
aluminum LED profile and diffuser lens to protect the tape, spread the light and give the edge a finished, built-in look.
Where it earns its keep, and documentationThink kitchen coves and under-cabinet runs, basement ceiling perimeters, stair and hallway accents, home theatre bulkheads, garage workbenches, retail shelving and display cases, bar fronts and back bars, reception desks, sign boxes, gym mirrors and corridor reveals in offices and clinics. Because it's sold by the roll and cut on site, one order can cover several rooms or an entire storefront with a consistent look — a real advantage when you're matching light across a renovation.
