- Do I need a power supply and controller?
- Yes. The strip is bare 12V or 24V DC, so you need a matching driver plus a CCT controller to tune the color temperature. Pick the voltage that matches your driver.
- How much power does a 5 m run need?
- About 14 W per meter, roughly 60 W for the full 5 m. Size the driver above that with some headroom, especially for 12V runs where current is higher.
- Can I cut it to fit?
- Yes, at marked points every 25 mm. Cut only on those marks and keep the remaining run within your driver's capacity.
- Where can I install it?
- IP20 means dry indoor use: kitchens, cabinets, shelves and ceilings. Keep it away from bathrooms, outdoors and wet areas.
- How does it compare with a standard SMD strip?
- COB gives a continuous line with no dots and better color rendering, but it uses more power per meter and costs more. Choose SMD if you want cheap accent light and don't mind visible dots.
- Does it dim smoothly at low levels?
- COB strips generally dim evenly, but low-end performance depends on your controller and driver. Use a quality CCT controller rated for the load.
