Traditional LED strips often suffer from visible "dots" or hotspots that can ruin the aesthetic of a modern interior. The IMITOS COB LED Strip Light solves this with Chip-on-Board (COB) technology. By packing 288 LED chips into a single meter, it creates a continuous, smooth line of light. This is particularly effective when reflecting off glossy surfaces like marble floors or polished kitchen countertops common in Malaysian homes.

High Performance & Efficiency

At 10W per meter, the IMITOS COB-288P strikes the perfect balance between energy efficiency and high-intensity brightness. With a luminous efficacy of 100lm/W, you receive 1,000 lumens of light for every meter installed. This makes it powerful enough to serve as primary ambient lighting in living rooms or as striking task lighting in workspaces.

Built for the Malaysian Climate (IP65 Rated)
Humidity and occasional splashing are no match for this strip. The IP65 rating ensures the internal circuitry is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. Whether you are installing it under a porch, in a bathroom, or along a garden pathway, the IMITOS strip maintains its performance and safety.

Direct 240V Connection
Unlike low-voltage strips that require complex wiring and hidden transformers, the IMITOS COB-288P is designed for AC240V input. This simplifies installation significantly for contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike, allowing for longer continuous runs (up to 50 meters) without the significant voltage drop seen in 12V or 24V systems.

Professional Light Quality
With a CRI of ≥ 80, this LED strip ensures that colors appear natural and true to life. It is available in three essential color temperatures:

Q1: What is the benefit of a COB LED strip vs. a normal SMD LED strip?
A:COB (Chip on Board) strips provide a seamless, linear glow without visible "dots," whereas SMD strips show individual light points. COB is preferred for high-end interior design where uniform light is required.

Q2: Can I connect the IMITOS 240V LED strip directly to my wall plug?
A: Yes, the IMITOS COB-288P is designed for AC240V, meaning it can be connected to standard Malaysian power outlets using a compatible power plug connector without an external transformer.

Q3: Is the IMITOS 10W/M COB strip bright enough for outdoor use?
A: Yes, with 100lm/W (1000 lumens per meter), it provides high brightness suitable for outdoor architectural highlighting and garden lighting.

Q4: Can I cut the IMITOS COB LED strip to my desired length?
A: Yes, 240V LED strips can usually be cut at specific intervals (typically every 0.5m or 1m). Ensure you cut only at the designated marks to maintain the IP65 seal.

Q5: What does IP65 mean for this LED strip?
A: IP65 means the strip is "dust-tight" and protected against water projected from a nozzle, making it safe for outdoor use and humid areas like bathrooms.

Q6: Does this LED strip require a driver?
A: Because it is a 240V model, it does not require a bulky DC transformer/driver. It uses a small AC power cord adapter to rectify the current.

Q7: Is the 8mm width compatible with standard aluminum profiles?
A: Yes, the 8mm plate width is very slim, allowing it to fit into most standard and slimline aluminum LED profiles for a flush, professional finish.

Q8: How many LEDs does the IMITOS COB-288P have?
A: It features 288 LED chips per meter, which is a high density that ensures the "dot-free" effect even without a diffuser.

Q9: What is CRI, and why is CRI ≥ 80 important?
A: CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects. A CRI of 80 or higher is considered good for residential and commercial spaces.

Q10: Can I use this for cove lighting in my living room?
A: Absolutely. Its dot-free nature and 240V long-run capability make it the top choice for living room coves and "L-box" ceiling designs in Malaysia.
