This 12V DC COB LED strip light uses Chip-on-Board technology to give continuous, dot-free light with no visible hotspots. It has 528 LEDs per meter and a CRI above 90. Output is up to about 1400 lumens per meter. It is made for indoor uses such as kitchens, shelves, accent walls and retail displays.
Each 5 m (16.4 ft) reel has 3M adhesive backing, and clips can also be used for mounting. The strip can be cut every 2.46 inches at marked solder pads. Strips can be joined end to end or around corners with solderless COB connectors, 20-24 gauge wire or soldering. Aluminum mounting channels are optional. They improve heat dissipation and give a finished look. The strip should not be bent at sharp angles. For 90° corners, use strip-to-wire connectors with a short wire.
The strip runs on 12V DC constant voltage and draws 14W per meter, about 1.2A per meter. A full reel uses about 70W. Size the power supply with 10-20% extra capacity. The strip cannot be powered by USB, which provides only 5V. It is fully dimmable with a 12V PWM dimmer placed between the strip and a dimmable power supply. It can also be used with a dimmable 12V power supply and a standard wall dimmer such as Lutron or Leviton.
