Transform your space with the next generation of linear lighting. The IMITOS COB LED Strip Light (14W/M) is designed for those who refuse to compromise on light quality. Traditional LED strips often leave "spotty" shadows; however, our COB technology utilizes 384 high-density LED chips per meter to create a continuous ribbon of light.

Ultra-Slim 3mm Design

The standout feature of the COB-384P model is its 3mm width. In the Malaysian interior design market, finding high-output strips that fit into micro-profiles is a challenge. This strip fits where others can't, allowing for sleek, minimalist lighting in cabinets, wardrobes, and cove ceilings.

Exceptional Color Accuracy (CRI ≥ 98)
Color Rendering Index (CRI) is critical for high-end applications. With a rating of Ra > 98, this IMITOS strip reproduces colors as they would appear under natural sunlight. It is the preferred choice for:

High Efficiency and Durability
Operating at DC 24V, this strip experiences significantly less voltage drop compared to 12V alternatives, ensuring consistent brightness over the full 5-meter length. Delivering 1430 lumens per meter, it provides functional illumination while maintaining an IP44 rating, offering protection against splashes and moisture—perfect for Malaysian homes.
 

Q1: What is the difference between COB and SMD LED strips?
A: COB (Chip-on-Board) LEDs have more chips placed closer together (384 per meter in this IMITOS model), creating a seamless line of light without the visible "dots" common in SMD strips.

Q2: Why is 24V better than 12V for LED strips?
A: 24V systems carry current more efficiently, resulting in less "voltage drop." This means the brightness remains uniform from the start of the 5-meter strip to the very end.

Q3: Can I cut the IMITOS COB LED strip?
A: Yes, the strip features designated cutting marks. However, ensure you use a 24V power supply for any segments you reconnect.

Q4: Is 3000K or 4000K better for a living room?
A: 3000K (Warm White) is best for cozy, relaxing vibes. 4000K (Cool White) is ideal for task lighting or modern, clean Malaysian interior designs.

Q5: What does CRI ≥ 98 mean?
A: It means the light is 98% accurate compared to natural sunlight. This is top-tier for color fidelity, preventing colors from looking "washed out" or grayish.

Q6: Can I install this 3mm strip in a standard aluminum profile?
A: Absolutely. Its ultra-slim 3mm width makes it compatible with almost every aluminum profile on the market, including very narrow "Micro" profiles.

Q7: Does this product require a transformer?
A: Yes, you need a DC 24V LED Driver (Transformer) to power this strip. Do not connect it directly to your home's 240V wall socket.

Q8: Is the IMITOS COB strip dimmable?
A: Yes, as long as you use a dimmable 24V LED driver and a compatible dimmer switch.

Q9: What is the lifespan of this LED strip?
A: COB strips generally have better heat dissipation. When installed on an aluminum profile, this strip can last up to 30,000–50,000 hours.

Q10: Is IP44 suitable for outdoor use in Malaysia?
A: IP44 is splash-proof, suitable for bathrooms or under-eaves. For direct exposure to Malaysia's heavy rain, an IP65 or IP67 rating is recommended.
