COB LED strip light creates dotless, continuous and high-density illumination without any hotspots. The outstanding feature of giving light without visible dots or hot spots makes it ideal seamless illumination for reflective surfaces where people don’t want to see individual LED chips, such as mirrors, glossy countertops or tile floors.

Beside, COB LED strip lights are also widely used in under cabinet lighting, High-end retail display lighting, showcase lighting, toe-kick lighting, bathroom vanity lighting, architectural projects or commercial applications.

COB stands for “Chip on Board” meaning the LED diode is packaged directly on the PCB instead of creating an encapsulated LED. COB technology creates high-quality light while reducing heat buildup and improving strip flexibility. With high 90+ CRI, this kind of tape light is good solution for places where quality color rendering is needed, such as display cases and kitchen counters.

Same like SMD LED strip lights, COB LED strip lights can be bent over curves and corners for long runs of uninterrupted sleek illumination. 3M adhesive backing makes it easy and quick to install on most surfaces. For outdoor areas such as decks, steps, railings, The COB LED Strips with IP65 rating are good choice. Meanwhile, you may simply buy non-weatherproof strips and make it waterproof by using waterproof aluminum strip channels and other accessories.
