When it comes to modern interior design in Malaysia, the "spotted" look of traditional SMD LED strips is becoming a thing of the past. The IMITOS COB (Chip on Board) LED Strip Light represents the next generation of linear lighting. By mounting 240 LED chips directly onto the circuit board under a continuous phosphor coating, this strip eliminates visible dark spots, creating a smooth "neon-like" glow. Whether you are highlighting a plaster ceiling cove, kitchen under-cabinet, or retail display, the IMITOS COB-240P ensures professional-grade results.

High Performance & Efficiency

Operating at 10W per meter, this strip strikes the perfect balance between energy efficiency and high brightness. With a lumen output of 900-1000lm, it provides sufficient task lighting while remaining comfortable for the eyes. The high Color Rendering Index (CRI ≥ 80) ensures that the colors of your furniture, food, and decor appear vibrant and true to life, which is essential for photography-friendly home environments.

Ease of Installation: No Driver Needed
One of the standout features of the IMITOS COB-240P is its AC240V direct-to-power compatibility. In the Malaysian market, many installers prefer high-voltage strips for long runs because they reduce the complexity of hiding bulky 12V or 24V transformers. This 10-meter roll is ready for direct connection, making it a favorite for contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike. The 8mm plate width allows it to fit into almost any standard aluminum profile, providing a sleek, recessed finish.

Durable and Reliable Design
Built for longevity, the IMITOS COB-240P features an IP20 rating, making it perfect for indoor applications such as living rooms, bedrooms, and offices. The 240 LEDs per meter density not only improves light uniformity but also helps in heat dissipation across the 8mm PCB, ensuring the strip maintains its brightness over years of use.
 

Q1: What is the benefit of COB LED vs SMD LED strips?
A: COB (Chip on Board) LEDs provide a seamless, continuous line of light without the "dotted" effect seen in SMD strips, making them superior for reflective surfaces like marble or glass.

Q2: Can I connect the IMITOS COB-240P directly to a Malaysia wall plug?
A: Yes, it is designed for AC240V, which is the standard voltage in Malaysia. It does not require an external 12V/24V transformer.

Q3: Is the IMITOS 10W/M COB strip dimmable?
A: This depends on the specific controller used. Standard AC240V strips require a compatible TRIAC dimmer or a dedicated COB dimmer module to adjust brightness.

Q4: Can I cut the 10M COB LED strip?
A: Yes, but only at the designated copper marks (usually every 10cm or 50cm for 240V models). Cutting elsewhere will damage the circuit.

Q5: Does the IMITOS COB-240P produce much heat?
A: At 10W/M, it produces moderate heat. For maximum lifespan, we recommend installing it within an aluminum profile to act as a heat sink.

Q6: What is the difference between 3000K, 4000K, and 6000K?
A: 3000K (Warm White) is cozy/yellowish; 4000K (Cool White) is natural/neutral; 6000K (Daylight) is crisp/bluish-white.

Q7: Is this LED strip waterproof?
A: This model is IP20 rated, meaning it is for indoor use only and not protected against water or moisture

Q8: How many lumens does the IMITOS COB-240P provide?
A: It delivers 900-1000 lumens per meter, which is considered high brightness for decorative and accent lighting.

Q9: Will an 8mm width fit in standard aluminum profiles?
A: Yes, 8mm is a standard slim size that fits into almost all U-shape or V-shape aluminum channels available in Malaysia.

Q10: Why choose 10W/M over 5W/M?
A: 10W/M provides significantly higher brightness, making it suitable for primary ambient lighting rather than just subtle accenting.
