Design Specifications
INDOOR DOT FREE PLUG & PLAY COB LED flexible strip with 3M branded self-adhesive tape and plug and play non-dimmable driver
Pre-wired strip kit includes AU plug & play LED driver with 5 meters of RGB+4K COB LED strip which is controlled via the included remote control unit.
High-efficiency COB technology LED.
Stable working performance and warranty requires installation on an aluminum heatsink.
Cuttable every 50 mm at the scissors symbol.
NOTE: When cutting LED strips, it is always important to calculate the remaining LED load to reconfirm its compatibility with the existing driver, as driver changes may be required with a moderate reduction in loads. Dimming can be achieved with a compatible dimmable driver installed.

What is COB?
In the LED world, COB is the abbreviation for Chip on Board, which basically means to package the LED die directly on the circuit board (PCB). The ‘Chip on Board’ LED used on flexible strip lights is also sometimes called a flip-chip.
Flip chip LEDs are basically a bare bones approach to LED structure. Take a look at the normal 5050 SMD (surface mount device) LED, it has a bulkier plastic reflector that encapsulates the LED diode itself and then covers that with a phosphor coating. The ‘flip chips’ that make up COB LED strips cut everything from their design except an LED chip, the yellow phosphor covering, and connection pads. This condensed design leads to a significant reduction in size, allowing them to be packed closer together and further miniaturize LED based lighting.
Advantages of COB LED Flex Strips
Now that you have a basic understanding of how this new light technology has been produced, it is time to see what makes them superior or better for certain strip light applications.
No LED Hotspots, even in tight spaces!
One of the biggest complaints about your traditional LED flex strip is the hotspots throughout the strip. A Hotspot is the term for the brighter areas through a fixture or strip where you can clearly see where the light is coming from. Light is much more inviting and attractive when it looks like a smooth source of light, not a spotty mess.
With 5050 SMD Flex Strips the larger sized diodes are packed close enough so that at a distance the light is spread out and consistent on the surface being illuminated, but if the lights are too close to the surface or the strips themselves are visible, the hotspots are an eyesore that cannot be ignored by the human eye.
The strips 840 LEDs/M it would be pretty hard to pick out any hotspots on the COB Flex Strips. The strip illuminates a smooth, consistent light from start to finish. The uniform light has no dark spots and is much more attractive to the human eye, giving off a steady light even in the tightest of places. In fact, the only real way to see hotspots is to look at the back of the strip where it is easier to see the individually placed flip chip LEDs. The only other way you are going to see the individual diodes is if you dim the strips down to about 5% light output. This makes COB Flex Strips ideal for applications where:
- The strip itself cannot be hidden from sight.
- The surface that is being illuminated is within 2 feet of the strip light.
- Reflective surfaces like granite/glass are around.
- Those applications where you want a cool, neon effect.
Additional Features
In addition to it’s features as pointed out above, COB LED Strip produces around 25% more light output per watts than that of SMD, this increase in light output reduces the overall power consumption required. They are also more flexible and have a greater light distribution angle.
RGB/CW Features
RGB COB IP20 strip is made up of 840 chips per meter allowing for seamless Dot Free lighting with vibrant colours and light output unlike anything currently in the market. In fact our RGB strip is the brightest coloured strip lighting available anywhere in the world! In addition to the primary colours of Red, Blue and Green, our COB strip kit with remote control and WiFi technology produces over 16 million colours! And all this is ready to just plug in and switch on. The addition of CW adds Cool White to the mix.
