When it comes to professional interior design in Malaysia, the "dotted" look of traditional LED strips is a thing of the past. The IMITOS COB LED Strip Light 30W/M represents the pinnacle of linear lighting technology. By using Chip-on-Board (COB) technology, this strip eliminates visible dark spots even when installed in shallow aluminum profiles or directly onto surfaces.

Ultra-High Power and Efficiency

At 30W per meter, the COB-1600P is one of the most powerful LED strips in the IMITOS lineup. While standard strips often struggle with brightness in high-ceiling environments, the IMITOS 30W/M version provides a massive 3500 lumens per meter, making it ideal as a primary light source for cove lighting, large-scale pendant DIYs, or architectural highlighting.

Color rendering is critical for high-end Malaysian homes and retail boutiques. With a CRI of 90+, this LED strip ensures that your furniture, paint colors, and textures look exactly as they should. Whether you are choosing the cozy 3000K Warm White, the balanced 4000K Cool White, or the crisp 6000K Daylight, the light quality remains consistent and flicker-free.

Unique 30mm Plate Width for Heat Management
Unlike standard 8mm or 10mm strips, the COB-1600P features a 30mm wide plate. This wider PCB is not just for show—it acts as a superior heat sink. High-wattage LEDs generate heat; the 30mm width ensures that the 30W/M output doesn't compromise the lifespan of the LEDs, providing long-term reliability for your renovation projects.

Technical Superiority: 1600P Density
The "P" in COB-1600P refers to the density of the chips. With 1600 points across the 5-meter roll, the light output is incredibly smooth. This high density, combined with the DC24V requirement, ensures minimal voltage drop over the length of the strip, maintaining uniform brightness from the first inch to the last.

Installation & Application
The IMITOS COB Strip is rated IP20, making it perfect for indoor applications such as:

Q1: Why choose COB LED strips over SMD LED strips in Malaysia?
A: COB (Chip on Board) strips offer seamless light without visible "dots," whereas SMD strips often show spots. This is vital for the modern, minimalist Malaysian interior design style.

Q2: Does the IMITOS 30W/M LED strip require a driver?
A: Yes, it requires a DC24V LED Driver. Ensure your driver wattage exceeds the total wattage of the strip (e.g., 5 meters x 30W = 150W driver minimum).

Q3: Can I cut the IMITOS COB-1600P strip?
A: Yes, the strip features copper cut points. However, due to its 30mm width, ensure you use a compatible wider aluminum profile for a clean finish.

Q4: Is 3000K or 4000K better for a Malaysian living room?
A: 3000K (Warm White) is best for cozy vibes, while 4000K (Cool White) is the most popular choice in Malaysia for a modern, clean look that isn't too yellow.

Q5: Why is the plate width 30mm?
A: The 30mm width helps dissipate the high heat generated by the 30W/M output, ensuring the LED lasts for its full rated lifespan.

Q6: What is CRI and why is Ra >90 important?
A: CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how accurately a light source reveals colors. Ra >90 means colors appear vibrant and natural, similar to sunlight.

Q7: Is the IMITOS COB strip waterproof?
A: This model is IP20 rated, meaning it is for indoor use only. It should not be used in bathrooms or outdoor areas exposed to water.

Q8: How many lumens does the IMITOS COB-1600P produce?
A: It produces approximately 3500lm/W, offering extremely high brightness compared to standard decorative strips.

Q9: Can I dim this LED strip?
A: Yes, if you use a dimmable DC24V driver and a compatible dimmer switch.
