Description
RGB COB LED Strip 24 V – 576 LEDs/m, Dot-Free Colour
14 W/m · 1,260 lm/m · millions of colours · continuous line of light · IP20 · 5 m reel · cuttable every 62.5 mm
This RGB COB LED strip produces coloured light as a continuous line – without the visible individual dots familiar from conventional RGB strips. That is made possible by 576 tiny diodes per metre sitting closely together beneath a shared cover. The difference shows especially during colour changes: instead of a string of red, green and blue dots you see an evenly coloured band of light.

What does COB mean – and why are there no dots?
COB stands for chip on board. In conventional RGB strips, individual housed LEDs sit one to two centimetres apart on the board. You see them as a row of dots, and with mixed colours the separate red, green and blue chips are often visible too. With the COB principle far smaller chips are placed directly on the circuit board and encapsulated together. At 576 per metre they sit so closely that the eye can no longer separate individual points – not even with red, green or blue on their own.
How does colour mixing work?
The strip contains three colour channels: red, green and blue. Driven together, they mix into virtually any shade – from strong magenta through turquoise to warm orange tones. Control is handled by an RGB controller that regulates the three channels independently. Through it you set colour and brightness, choose colour-change programmes or hold a fixed colour. Without a controller the strip cannot be operated meaningfully, so include one in your planning.
| Colour | Wavelength |
|---|---|
| Red | 622 nm (±5 nm) |
| Green | 525 nm (±7.5 nm) |
| Blue | 456 nm (±5 nm) |
Choosing the right driver and controller
The strip runs on 24 volt direct current. For a full 5 metre reel calculate 5 × 14 watts = 70 watts. As a driver should not supply more than about 80 percent of its rated output continuously, you need at least 90 watts. It is equally important that the RGB controller is rated for this load – many simple models are limited to considerably less. Connection is four-pin: one shared positive lead plus one each for red, green and blue. Drivers and controllers are available in our accessories category.
Installation, cutting and routing
The strip is fixed using the strong double-sided adhesive tape on its back; the surface should be smooth, clean and grease-free. It can be shortened every 62.5 millimetres at the marked points, where the four contacts for connection sit. The strip may be bent lengthwise but not sharply creased; keep to a bending diameter of at least one centimetre. Also run no more than 5 metres from one supply: voltage drops along the narrow copper tracks over distance, so a longer run glows visibly dimmer towards the end and reproduces colours inaccurately. Longer runs are therefore connected in parallel.

Applications
RGB strips are used wherever light should shape a space rather than merely illuminate it: as indirect lighting in ceiling coves and behind furniture, in display cases and showcases, at bars and counters, in hospitality, hotels and wellness areas, in exhibition stands as well as in home cinema and living rooms. Because the colour can be changed at any time, the lighting adapts to occasion, time of day or season. Note the IP20 rating – the strip is suitable exclusively for dry indoor areas.
