Elevate your interior ambiance with the next generation of linear lighting. The IMITOS COB-576P represents a significant leap from traditional SMD strips. By utilizing Chip on Board (COB) technology, this strip eliminates the unsightly "spotty" or "dotted" look often seen in cheaper LED alternatives. Whether you are installing this in a slim aluminum profile or directly as cove lighting, the result is a flawless, continuous glow that enhances the premium feel of any space.

Advanced Technical Performance

Operating at DC24V, the IMITOS COB strip ensures lower voltage drop over the 5-meter length compared to standard 12V strips. This means consistent brightness from the start of the roll to the very end. With a power consumption of 12W per meter, it strikes the perfect balance between energy efficiency and high-intensity output, producing a luminous flux of 1100-1200lm. This makes it bright enough for task lighting under kitchen cabinets or as primary decorative lighting in living rooms.

The 3C Versatility (3 Color Temperatures)
One of the standout features of this model is the 3C Color Temperature capability. In the Malaysian market, flexibility is key. This strip allows you to toggle between different shades of white, allowing you to transition from a productive Cool White for daytime tasks to a cozy Warm White for evening relaxation. This versatility ensures that your lighting evolves with your mood and the function of the room.

High Density & Superior Color Rendering
With 576 LEDs per meter, the density is among the highest in its class. This density is what creates the "neon-like" seamless effect. Furthermore, the CRI ≥ 80 (Color Rendering Index) ensures that colors under the light appear natural and vibrant. This is crucial for retail displays, walk-in wardrobes, or dining areas where the true color of objects and food is vital.

Installation & Durability
The 8mm plate width is designed for compatibility. It fits into almost all standard aluminum LED profiles available in Malaysia. The IP20 rating makes it perfect for indoor applications such as:

Q1: What is the benefit of COB LED strips vs SMD?
A: COB (Chip on Board) strips provide a seamless, continuous line of light without the visible "dots" or hotspots common in SMD strips, making them better for reflective surfaces.

Q2: Does this IMITOS strip require a power adapter?
A: Yes, it operates on DC24V. You will need a 24V LED transformer/driver to power this strip safely from a standard Malaysian wall plug.

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 cabinet or cove dimensions.

Q4: What does "3C" mean for this LED light?
A: 3C stands for 3-Color. It means the strip can produce three different color temperatures (Warm White, Cool White, and Daylight).

Q5: Is 12W/M bright enough for a living room?
A: Yes, 12W/M with 1100-1200 lumens is considered high-brightness, making it excellent for both decorative accenting and indirect primary lighting.

Q6: Why is 24V better than 12V for 5-meter strips?
A: 24V systems experience less voltage drop, ensuring the brightness remains uniform across the entire 5m length without fading at the end.

Q7: Can I dim the IMITOS COB LED strip?
A: Yes, provided you use a compatible dimmable 24V LED driver and a dimmer switch.

Q8: Is this strip waterproof?
A: This model is IP20 rated, which means it is intended for indoor use only and is not waterproof.

Q9: What is the width of the strip?
A: The plate width is 8mm, a standard size that fits most slim aluminum profiles.

Q10: How Long is the lifespan of IMITOS LED strips?
A: Due to the efficient COB heat dissipation and 24V stability, these strips are designed for long-term residential and commercial use.
