Description
COB LED Strip 24 V – 6000 K cool white, 8 W/m, CRI > 90
320 LEDs/m · dot-free line of light · 720 lm/m · IP20 · 5 m reel · Sanan LEDs
This COB LED strip is the choice for anyone wanting a clean line of light. Thanks to 320 densely placed LEDs per metre and a continuous cover, no dot pattern remains visible – neither in the strip itself nor as shadows on the wall. It runs on safe 24 volt low voltage.

What does COB mean – and why are there no dots?
What sets COB apart from a normal LED strip? In classic SMD strips, individual LEDs sit on the board at intervals of roughly one to two centimetres. Look directly at it, or shine it onto a nearby wall, and you see those dots as a row. COB stands for chip on board: here the diodes are considerably smaller, sit much closer together and are covered jointly by a silicone layer. Light therefore emerges as a closed line.
CRI > 90: colours that are true
With a colour rendering index above 90, this strip sits well above the usual standard. The value describes how natural colours look under the light – 100 would equal daylight. Above 90 even subtle colour nuances are reproduced correctly: wood keeps its warm tone, fabrics do not look washed out, food looks fresh. That matters wherever the strip lights goods, materials or dishes – in display cases, at counters and in the kitchen.
Colour temperature 6000 K – cool white
6000 kelvin is cool white and delivers the brightest, crispest light in this range. It feels activating and is used where maximum visibility is required: in workshops, storage rooms, technical areas and for precision work. For living spaces it is usually too cool, but for work zones it is ideal.
High-quality LED chips by Sanan
The light source consists of LED chips by Sanan. Sanan Optoelectronics was founded in Xiamen in 2000, is stock-listed and is regarded as China's largest LED chip manufacturer as well as one of the three largest worldwide. This matters particularly with LED strips: because many hundreds of chips sit on one reel, they all have to share exactly the same colour temperature. A manufacturer of this scale works with very tight production tolerances – so no visible colour differences appear along the length of the strip.
Choosing the right driver
The strip runs on 24 volt direct current and therefore needs a driver. A simple rule applies when choosing one: calculate the total load and pick a driver with at least 20 percent headroom. A full reel means 5 metres × 8 watts = 40 watts, so the driver should supply at least 50 watts. A unit permanently run at its limit gets hot and fails considerably sooner. Suitable drivers are in our accessories category.
Installation, cutting and routing
Installation is straightforward: a strong double-sided adhesive tape on the back holds the strip securely on clean, grease-free surfaces. It can be shortened every 50 millimetres at the marked cutting points, where the contacts for connection are located. The strip may be bent lengthwise but not sharply creased; as a rule of thumb allow a bending diameter of at least one centimetre. It is also important to run no more than 5 metres per feed. The reason: voltage drops along the narrow copper tracks of the board as length increases. Connect two reels one after another and less voltage arrives at the end – the strip visibly dims there. Longer runs are therefore connected in parallel, with each reel having its own supply from the driver. Brightness then stays even across the whole length.

Applications
Typical locations are display cases and showcases, kitchen wall units, shelves and furniture, alcoves and ceiling coves for indirect lighting, stairs and handrails as well as counters in retail. As the strip is only 8 millimetres wide and 2.3 millimetres high, it disappears into narrow profiles and joints too. Note the IP20 rating, though: for dry interior spaces only – not in bathrooms, outdoors or in damp rooms.
