Reel-to-reel construction you can feelThe 2216-SOB is built on a continuous reel-to-reel manufacturing process, which means far fewer solder joints along the run. Fewer joints translate into better long-term reliability, more uniform conductivity, less risk of a connection failing mid-run and a more consistent light output from one end of the strip to the other — plus a cleaner, more professional finish once it's in the channel. The
3-ounce circuit board carries current with less voltage drop stress, and the
Epistar 2216 SOB chips sit under a continuous coating that diffuses the light instead of letting it escape as individual points.
Light quality: warm, dotless and honestWith
320 LEDs per meter and a
180° lighting angle, the SOB10 produces the seamless line designers ask for. The
2700K warm white colour temperature is the cozy, incandescent-style tone people want in living rooms, bedrooms, restaurants and hospitality spaces, while the
CRI 90+ rendering keeps whites clean and woods, fabrics and food looking natural — a real difference in kitchens, boutiques and display cases. Output reaches
1700 lumens per meter (typical flux varies slightly with the Kelvin degrees chosen).

Wiring, dimming and installationThe strip arrives with
2 wires (1 meter) on one end and 2 wires (1 meter) on the other end, so you can feed it from either side or run power through to a second section without fighting with tiny connectors. Feed it from a
24V DC power supply sized at
18W per meter of strip to leave healthy headroom. For
dimming, you have two clean paths: a low-voltage dimmer/remote combo installed after the driver, or a dimmable power supply controlled by a 120V AC wall dimmer. Heat management is not optional — the strip must be installed on a heat-dissipating surface or inside an appropriate aluminum channel, which also protects it and improves the visual finish. Cut only on the marked points,
every 6.25 mm, and always cut with power disconnected.
Where it shines and what it pairs withThink under-cabinet task lighting in a kitchen, a warm halo in a bedroom cove, backlit bathroom mirrors, stair and hallway guidance, bar fronts, retail shelving, reception desks and office millwork. Because the cut interval is so short, you can match the strip precisely to an aluminum profile length — pair it with the
8 feet aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX740) for a recessed or surface-mounted finished line of light. Remember it is
IP20 and rated for indoor use only, with an operating range of
40C to -10C. Full details, dimensions and ratings are in the
technical PDF available in the Documentation tab of this page.
