LED strips - COB
Looking for a smooth, continuous light line with no visible LED dots? LED Strips COB are exactly what you need. Thanks to COB technology (Chip-on-Board), these strips deliver a seamless light strip – perfect for visible installations like coves, furniture, counters, displays, or office and retail spaces. Unlike regular LED strips, you won’t see individual light spots with COB strips. This gives a much cleaner and more professional look. And the best part? You don’t need to break the bank. At Budgetlight.co.uk, we offer these strips at a great price without compromising on quality.
The colour code is a combination of colour rendering (CRI) and light colour (Kelvin). The first number indicates the colour rendering (1 = very poor colour rendering, 9 = maximum colour fastness). The second and third number contains the light colour. Example: the colour code 830 consists of good colour rendering (8) and warm white light (3000K).
The IP value indicates the degree of protection against the ingress of moisture and dust. The 1st digit (0 = not protected until 6 = completely dustproof) indicates the protection against dust. The 2nd digit (0 = not protected until 8 = protected against immersion) indicates the protection against water. Products with an IP44 rating are splashproof and products with an IP65 rating or higher are (completely) dustproof and waterproof.

A popular choice is the LED COB strip 5m – long enough for bigger projects and easy to cut down to size. You can choose from different colour temperatures: warm white for ambiance, neutral or cool white for workspaces. And if you want dimming, that’s possible too with the right driver. Tip: For a cleaner finish and better cooling, use an aluminium profile. Don’t forget to grab a driver and connectors – they’re easy to add to your order.
Can I cut COB LED strips to custom lengths?
Yes, most COB LED strips are cuttable at marked intervals. Be sure to follow the product’s guidelines to avoid damaging the circuit.
Do COB strips require an aluminum profile?
While not mandatory, aluminum profiles help with heat dissipation and give your installation a clean, professional finish. They're recommended for long-term durability.
What power supply do I need for COB LED strips?
Check the strip’s voltage (24V) and match it with an appropriate driver. Always ensure the wattage rating of the driver exceeds the strip's total wattage.
