What’s the difference?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, the one obvious contrast is the light output. The COB technology ensures a \u003cstrong\u003eseamless, spot-free light\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you look at standard LED strip lights, you’d see that the “dots” are visible from one end of the strip to the other. COB strip lights just have a \u003cstrong\u003eline of light\u003c\/strong\u003e from end to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon’t get us wrong. Standard, traditional strip lights are good. It’s just that the dot-free lighting of the COB strips offers a cleaner, more balanced glow. Because why choose evenly-spaced dots when you can choose a full line?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOB LED strip light is the true definition of a flawless lighting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural White 4000K for Balanced Ambient Illumination\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave you ever stopped and thought about how powerful lighting has become since the inception of the incandescent? If it were 20 years ago, would you have believed that a small strip with light diodes could be used as an ambient light in the living room? Most probably not. But now it’s a possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis COB LED strip light has a \u003cstrong\u003enatural white (4000K)\u003c\/strong\u003e colour temperature that can easily be used as ambient lighting for any space. The \u003cstrong\u003ecolour rendering index (CRI)\u003c\/strong\u003e of this light is off the charts too, at \u003cstrong\u003eover 90\u003c\/strong\u003e. When used in a close-in application like under kitchen cabinets, this strip light can even serve as a task light for easier food preparation, thanks to the better visibility it offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEfficient 8W\/m with Bright 800lm\/m Output\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we tell you our lights are bright, they are. And when we tell you that our lights are efficient, they are, without a doubt. But hey, you don’t need to believe us. You just need to look at the numbers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis COB LED strip light only needs to consume \u003cstrong\u003e8 watts of power \u003c\/strong\u003eper metre to be able to generate \u003cstrong\u003e800 lumens \u003c\/strong\u003eof maximum brightness (per metre as well). You don’t need complicated maths to see how efficient this is! But hey, we’ll do it anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e800 lumens \/ 8 watts = 100 lumens per watt (Crazy!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s not even everything. This COB LED strip is only 8mm in width, and yet it has a \u003cstrong\u003e180-degree beam angle \u003c\/strong\u003ethat gives it a wide coverage. You can pair this strip light with an \u003cstrong\u003ealuminium profile\u003c\/strong\u003e for a clean installation. These profiles also act as heat sink, extending the strip's lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCustom Cut-to-Length with Pre-Soldered 1m Cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSafety first!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s what we always try to remind everyone who’s working with lighting. That’s why this LED strip light is \u003cstrong\u003ecut to measure\u003c\/strong\u003e. Yes, you read that right! You give us the length that you need, and we’ll cut the strips for you! You get the exact length that your project requires. And that’s not all. We’ll also solder a \u003cstrong\u003eone-metre cable \u003c\/strong\u003efor you. Now you can just focus on the installation. Leave the cutting and soldering to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso remember that since this COB LED strips runs on a \u003cstrong\u003e24v DC\u003c\/strong\u003e, you'll need an LED driver to make this run. Just multiply the length you're getting with the 8W power of the strip to get the total wattage capacity of the driver that you'll need. Add a 20% margin for safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIP20-Rated for Indoor Use – 30,000h Lifespan \u0026amp; 5-Year Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot all LED strip lights are meant for the outdoors. A lot of them are indoor lights, like this COB LED strip. It has an ingress protection (IP) rating of \u003cstrong\u003eIP20\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is adequate for indoor use. That means no installing this light in locations that are damp or moist, like your bathrooms, kitchen sink, and of course outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut that’s enough for the “weaknesses,” and let’s look at the strengths. Like how this strip light has a lifespan of \u003cstrong\u003e30,000 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e. That’s 3.4 years of continuous lighting, and \u003cstrong\u003e20.5 years \u003c\/strong\u003eif you used the strips for only four hours per day. Imagine 20 years of not even thinking about replacing your lights. That’s crazy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003e5-year warranty \u003c\/strong\u003ealso comes with the strip light when you buy. So, enjoy your lights to your heart’s content, worry-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmart Home Compatible – Works with Controllers and Voice Assistants\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAh, Google Home and Alexa. The solution to a more efficient lighting system. That’s right! This COB LED strip light is compatible with our \u003cstrong\u003esmart controller\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you the option to manage your lights through a smart app on your phone or through voice commands. Who wouldn’t want to get home from a busy and tiring day at work and just lie down on the sofa for a shut-eye and say, “Hey Google, turn off lights”?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if, for some reason, you don’t like voice commands (you’re missing out), this LED strip light also works with a range of our \u003cstrong\u003eremote controls and wall controllers\u003c\/strong\u003e. It’s not as efficient, but they work like a charm. Still better than just relying on the old light switches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simple Lighting","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56960135463256,"sku":"SCOB-IP20-8W-NW","price":10.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/7020\/1688\/files\/wechat_image_20231128114314.jpg?v=1774288574","url":"https:\/\/www.simplelighting.co.uk\/products\/cob-dotless-led-strip-lighting-natural-white-4000k-8w-metre","provider":"Simple Lighting LTD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
