Description
This is a complete DIY kit built around 5m of COB LED tape, also known as LED strip or LED ribbon. COB stands for chip-on-board, which packs 480 LEDs into every metre and spreads the light evenly across the strip. The result is a continuous line of light with no visible spots or dots, which suits under-cabinet runs, shelving, cove lighting and display work where you want a clean, even glow.
The tape runs on 24Vdc and comes with a UK power adaptor rated at 60W, 2.5A output, so there's nothing else to source before you start. Setup is straightforward: peel off the backing, press the tape into place and connect it to the supply. You can cut the tape to length at 50mm intervals, so it's easy to fit around a set space or trim off what you don't need. The slim 8mm x 2.5mm cross-section tucks into tight channels and out-of-sight positions.
The neutral white output gives a clean, natural tone that sits between warm and cool, which works well in kitchens, workshops and task areas. Power draw is 10.5W per metre, so a full 5m reel keeps within the supplied adaptor's rating. The kit is IP20 rated, which means it's built for dry indoor use rather than damp or outdoor spots. If you need to cover a longer run or split the tape across several sections, plan your cuts around the 50mm marks and check the total load against the power supply.

Frequently Asked
Is the power supply included?
Yes. The kit comes with a 24Vdc power supply with a UK adaptor, rated at 60W and 2.5A output, so you can run the full 5m reel straight away.
Can I cut the tape to length?
Yes. The tape can be cut to size at 50mm intervals along marked points, so you can trim it to fit your space.
What does COB mean and why does it matter?
COB stands for chip-on-board. It places 480 LEDs per metre close together, which gives an even line of light with no visible spots or dots along the strip.
Can I use this outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. This kit is IP20 rated, which means it's suited to dry indoor use only. It isn't protected against moisture or water.
How much power does the tape use?
The tape draws 10.5W per metre, so the full 5m reel stays within the supplied 60W power supply's rating.
What are the dimensions of the tape?
The tape has a cross-section of 8mm wide by 2.5mm high, which lets it fit into narrow channels and tight spaces.
