When it comes to modern interior design in Malaysia, lighting is no longer just functional; it’s an architectural element. The IMITOS COB (Chip on Board) LED Strip Light represents the pinnacle of linear illumination. Unlike older SMD models that show distracting hot spots or "dots" behind diffusers, the IMITOS COB-320P utilizes a dense matrix of 320 chips per meter. This creates a perfectly uniform line of light that is easy on the eyes and aesthetically superior.

Technical Precision and Performance

Operating on a DC24V system, this strip ensures minimal voltage drop over its 10-meter length, maintaining consistent brightness from start to finish. The 12W/M wattage strikes the perfect balance between high-intensity output and energy efficiency, producing up to 1200 lumens. Whether you are looking for a cozy 3000K (Warm White) for a bedroom, a balanced 4000K (Cool White) for the living room, or a crisp 6000K (Daylight) for a kitchen workspace, the IMITOS range covers all your needs.

Durability and Versatility
Designed with an 8mm plate width, this strip is slim enough to fit into almost any aluminum profile or tight corner. While the IP20 rating makes it ideal for indoor use, its high Color Rendering Index (CRI ≥ 80) ensures that the colors of your furniture, paint, and decor are represented accurately and vibrantly. The high-quality copper PCB provides excellent heat dissipation, which is crucial in Malaysia’s humid climate to ensure a long-lasting lifespan.

Installation Applications

Q1: What is the difference between COB and SMD LED strips?
A: COB (Chip on Board) has chips mounted directly on the PCB, creating a seamless "dotless" light line, whereas SMD has visible individual light points.

Q2: Why should I use 24V instead of 12V for a 10M strip?
A: 24V systems experience less "voltage drop," meaning the brightness stays consistent across the entire 10-meter length without fading at the end.

Q3: Can I cut the IMITOS COB LED strip?
A: Yes, the strip features designated cutting points, allowing you to customize the length to fit your specific installation area.

Q4: Do I need an aluminum profile for this COB light?
A: While not strictly required for IP20, using a profile is highly recommended for better heat dissipation and a more professional, diffused look.

Q5: What power supply (driver) do I need for 10M?
A: Since it is 12W/M, 10 meters requires 120W. We recommend a 150W 24V DC driver to allow a 20% safety margin.

Q6: Is 3000K or 4000K better for a Malaysian living room?
A: 3000K is preferred for a cozy, relaxing "hotel" vibe, while 4000K is better for a modern, clean look that aids in visibility.

Q7: What does CRI ≥ 80 mean for my home?
A: It means the light renders colors accurately. A CRI of 80+ is the standard for high-quality residential lighting in Malaysia.

Q8: Is the IMITOS COB-320P waterproof?
A: This specific model is IP20 rated, which means it is for indoor use only and not protected against water.

Q9: Can I dim the IMITOS COB LED strip?
A: Yes, as long as you use a compatible dimmable 24V DC LED driver and a dimmer switch.

Q10: How many LEDs are in this IMITOS strip?
A: This model features 320 LEDs per meter, totaling 3,200 LEDs over the 10-meter reel for maximum smoothness.
