Our Flexible COB LED Strip Light series creates a seamless line of light from start to finish. The all-new strip design uses flip-chip LEDs to eliminate visible LED dots (hot spots). The all-new chip-on-board technology not only improves light quality but also improves the thermal management and flexibility of the strip. The smaller LEDs can be packed tighter and weigh much less than the bulkier LEDs, creating a strip that can work around the needs of your application. The spotless output makes the COB LED strips ideal for narrow applications like display cases and backlighting, or where reflective surfaces such as granite and tile are used.

High Output, Quality Light
The COB LED Flex Strips hold a whopping 512 LEDs per Meter which creates Lumens/M of smooth continuous light emitting at 180 degrees. The wide viewing angle and a continuous stream of light make this a serious upgrade from the flexible strip lights you are used to.
Colors
LEDSupply’s COB LED strips are offered in: Red, Green, Blue, Warm White K, Neutral White K & Cool White K.
Custom Lengths
Unlike most suppliers, we offer COB LED strip lights in smaller 3-foot increments up to 16.4 feet long (1 Reel = 5M). Some applications might need a shorter section of strips which is why the LED strips can be cut every few inches. You can cut the strip along the cut marks which feature a thin black line running over solder pads. Max Run Length = 2 full reels - 32.8ft.
End-to-End Connections
When there is a break in your application you can still run one strip to another using 20-24 gauge wire or LED strip connectors. TAKE NOTE: COB LED Strip's maximum run length is 32.8 feet (2 reels). After the maximum run length, the voltage drop becomes too great and you will lose light and efficiency from your system. If your application needs more than the maximum run length you will have to get another power supply or run wires from the extra strip directly back to the first power supply (wiring in parallel).
Connections can be made by soldering wire in between strips or by using solderless clamps. Only one end of the strips comes with a plug on it (except for full reel lengths which have 2) so if you want to make more connections you will need to solder or use strip connectors. Here is a good tutorial on wiring the strips together if you'd like more information.
Power
The strips need 24VDC input. This requires either a battery or 24V Power Supply. The strips run at roughly 14 Watts/M. Please make sure you have enough wattage when running your specified length. The below wattage chart has accurate wattage calculations for each length shown.

Dimming
The strips are fully dimmable and can be used with 24V PWM dimmers. The dimmer will go between your power supply and strips. Find compatible controllers below in the PWM Dimmers section.
If you require an AC Dimming Control from Lutron or Leviton, use a dimmable power supply.

You probably already have an idea in your head on how you want to apply LED Strips in your project. But how do you achieve an optimal result?
The first thing to keep in mind is that LED Strips are best used for indirect lighting.
Try to place the LED Strips in such a way that the LED Strip and the light points themselves remain hidden. If you can see the light points, the beautiful effect of indirect lighting is immediately gone. Of course, there are also applications where it is desirable to leave the light points in plain sight. This depends a lot on the effect that you want to create!
If you are creative, the applications are of course endless. Below you will find a few examples of popular uses for LED Strips.
Cove lighting
LED Strips are widely used here and the effect is great. LED Strip is placed hidden from sight in a cove, creating the beautiful effect of lighting from an invisible source. Because a LED Strip contains many light points per meter (60 to 240!) the light is evenly distributed and never interrupted like when TLs are used.
Kitchen lighting
You can apply LED Strips in many places in a kitchen. For example as indirect lighting of the countertop or lighting in and under cabinets.
Aquarium lighting
Usually, a combination of white, cool white, blue and red LED Strips is used in aquarium-lighting. Blue and cool white are very suitable for nighttime lighting and white is great for daytime lighting. Do make sure that you use waterproof LED Strips or LED bars!
If you want to light and aquarium, not only the aesthetics are important. Plant and animal life in the aquarium is also dependant on good lighting. So, if there are any doubts, please don’t hesitate to contact us for advice on this subject.
Cabinet lighting
LED Strips are often ideal for use in cabinets where there is a “lighting-problem” because there is insufficient space to place TLs or halogen spots. A LED Strip fits in the smallest corners and behind the smallest shelves, so there is always a solution using LED Strips!
Lighting of glass surfaces, paintings, etc.
LED Strips , because of the even light distribution and the ease with which you can bend them around corners, are very popular for these kinds of applications.
Of course, there are many more applications for LED Strips. We are always very interested in the lighting-projects of our clients. So, do you have pictures of your project, or maybe you need some advice? Please don’t hesitate to contact us at info [at] buyledstrip.com!
You can find the specifications of each of the LED Strips on our website on the bottom of the description page of the respective LED Strip. Here, you will find the power consumption in Watts per meter and the luminous flux in lumen per meter. But, if these numbers do not make any sense to you, you can use the following rules of thumb:
Compare the LED Strip to a regular TL:
Power consumption LED Strip x 1.5 = Power consumption TL
Example: Say a LED Strip uses 9.8W/meter. One meter of this LED Strip is therefore equal to 9.8W x 1.5 = +/-15 Watts of TL.
Compare the LED Strip to a halogen-spotlight:
Power consumption LED Strip x 7 = Power consumption halogen-spotlight
Example: A given LED Strip consumes 9.8W per meter. So, one meter of this LED Strip is equal to 9.8 x 7 = +/- 70 Watts of halogen lighting.
Is a LED Strip too bright? Then you can use a LED Dimmer. All the LED Strips on our website are dimmable.
A 2 year warranty applies to all our products. You can also change your mind after up to 30 days after your purchase. So if for whatever reason the LED Strips are not satisfactory, you can return them to us for a full refund. (Please note that the adhesive strip, if present, should be intact)
We have served over satisfied customers. If something does go wrong, we will do everything in our power to help you. Our clients evaluate us with an average grade of 9.3.

There are roughly two types of LED Strips: LED Strips that can produce one fixed colour and LED Strips that can produce all possible colours. The latter are called “RGB”. An LED on these LED Strips looks like this:
An RGB LED actually consists of 3 small LEDs: a red, green and blue one. By mixing these three colours in various ways all colours can be produced, including white. In combination with an RGB Controller all kinds of great lighting effects can be created. This makes that RGB LED Strips are a very popular product.
Still, there are reasons (besides de price) to choose single color LED Strips over RGB LED Strips.
The most imporant reason is that if you really want warm white light, a single color LED Strip with warm white LEDs produces a much more pleasant light than an RGB LED Strip. While an RGB LED Strip can produce any colour, the warm white light that such a strip can create is only an approximation. After all, an RGB LED only consists of three colours: a red, green and blue one! Real (warm) white light consists of a mixture of all possible colours, which an RGB LED simply can’t produce. So, if you find it more important to have great warm white light than to have the possibility of multiple colours, we always suggest to choose warm white single color LED Strip.
