In the Malaysian interior design scene, the "dotted" look of traditional SMD LEDs is becoming obsolete. The IMITOS RND COB-320P utilizes Chip-on-Board (COB) technology to create a continuous "line of light." By mounting 320 LED chips directly onto the 5mm PCB and covering them with a uniform phosphor coating, this strip eliminates dark spots even when installed without a diffuser.

Why Choose 24V Over 12V?

Voltage drop is a common issue in DIY lighting projects. The IMITOS COB Strip operates on DC 24V, ensuring consistent brightness from the beginning to the end of the 5-meter reel. This makes it the ideal choice for professional contractors and homeowners looking for a reliable, flicker-free performance in long-run installations.

While standard LED strips are 8mm to 10mm wide, the IMITOS RND series features a 5mm plate width. This ultra-slim profile allows it to fit into the narrowest aluminum profiles and minimalist furniture grooves. Whether you are highlighting a kitchen backsplash or adding ambient lighting to a fluted wall panel, the 5mm width provides unmatched versatility.

Random Cut Flexibility
The standout feature of the RND COB-320P is its "Random Cut" capability. Unlike traditional strips that limit you to cutting every 5cm or 10cm, this model allows for much more frequent cut points, ensuring your lighting fits perfectly into custom-length carpentry without awkward dark gaps at the corners.

Optimal Performance & Durability

Q1: What is the benefit of a COB LED strip over a normal LED strip?
A: COB (Chip-on-Board) LEDs provide a seamless, dot-free light beam, whereas normal SMD strips show visible "dots" or hotspots.

Q2: Can I cut the IMITOS Random Cut COB LED strip at any point?
A: Yes, the "Random Cut" technology allows for much shorter and more flexible cutting intervals compared to standard 24V strips.

Q3: Is 24V better than 12V for LED strip lights?
A: Yes, 24V systems experience less voltage drop, meaning the brightness remains uniform over longer distances (up to 5-10 meters).

Q4: Does this LED strip require a driver/transformer?
A: Yes, the IMITOS RND COB-320P requires a DC 24V LED Driver to operate. Do not connect it directly to a 240V wall socket.

Q5: Can I use this for kitchen cabinet lighting?
A: Absolutely. Its 5mm slim design and dotless output make it the #1 choice for under-cabinet and cove lighting in Malaysia

Q6: What does "3000K, 4000K, 6000K" mean?
A: These refer to Color Temperature: 3000K is Warm White (Yellowish), 4000K is Cool White (Natural), and 6000K is Daylight (Blue-white).

Q7: Is this IMITOS strip waterproof?
A: It is rated IP33, which means it is protected against solid objects and light splashes, making it suitable for indoor use only.

Q8: Why is CRI ≥ 80 important?
A: A high Color Rendering Index (CRI) means the light accurately reflects the true colors of objects, making it ideal for retail and home decor.

Q9: How do I install the 5mm COB strip?
A: It comes with a 3M adhesive backing for easy sticking. For best results, install it inside an aluminum profile for better heat dissipation.

Q10: Can I dim the IMITOS COB LED strip?
A: Yes, as long as you use a dimmable 24V LED driver and a compatible dimmer switch.
