480CHIP/m Single Color COB LED strip from Elisa LED is built for architectural and commercial projects where light quality and visual uniformity are the primary requirements. Packing 480 LED chips into every meter of flexible PCB, this strip produces a continuous, dot-free line of light with no visible hot spots or dark zones between chips. It operates at DC12V/24V, draws 10.5W/m, and delivers 1113lm/m at CRI >90 and 100LM/W efficacy. IP20, IP65, and IP68 versions are available.
Traditional SMD strips mount individual LED packages at fixed intervals. This creates visible bright dots and dark zones between chips — a problem that becomes more apparent in shallow aluminum profiles or on reflective surfaces.
COB (Chip on Board) technology takes a different approach. 480 individual LED chips are mounted directly onto a continuous flexible PCB and covered by a single phosphor silicone layer, producing a smooth, uninterrupted line of light with a 180° beam angle.
This design is commonly used in architectural lighting applications where color uniformity across the full run is a hard requirement — including cove lighting, retail display, and under-cabinet installations across a range of white color temperatures.

No visible dots or dark zones. At 480 chips per meter, the strip produces a diffused light line even when used with a transparent profile cover and no additional diffuser. This density level is what separates COB from standard SMD configurations in shallow or open-face installations.
Wide 180° beam angle. COB encapsulation spreads light significantly wider than standard 120° SMD strips, making it better suited for indirect cove lighting and wash applications where even distribution across the surface matters.
12V/24V input for longer runs. The DC12V/24V design reduces voltage drop over distance. The recommended maximum single-feed run is 5 meters, maintaining consistent brightness from start to end.
Cut points every 25mm / 50mm. The strip can be trimmed to exact lengths without disrupting the circuit, which supports precise installation in custom joinery, recessed channels, and architectural millwork.
Compatible with common dimming systems. The strip works with PWM, 0/1–10V, and TRIAC dimming systems with stable color output across the dimming range.
The 480CHIP/m Single Color is well suited for applications where output uniformity and a clean light line are required:
High-end retail and jewelry display. Polished and reflective display surfaces expose any inconsistency in the light source. This strip produces a continuous output line without glare points across the display area.
Ultra-slim linear profiles. Shallow channels under 10mm depth are common in contemporary interior fit-outs. At this chip density, the strip produces a diffused light line even without an opaque diffuser cover.
Hospitality indirect lighting. In cove lighting and under-cabinet applications, the strip maintains visual consistency across its length at both full and low dim levels, producing a clean line rather than a visible dot pattern.
Each production batch of the product COB strip goes through multi-stage inspection before shipping.
Spectroradiometer testing is used to verify that CCT stays within a 3-step MacAdam Ellipse (SDCM <3) for consistent color binning across reels. Thermal performance is checked across the full chip density to confirm the PCB handles heat load within the operating spec.
The PCB uses 2oz or higher copper weighting to support current distribution at this chip density. For IP65 and IP68 versions, environmental testing verifies that the silicone encapsulation maintains its integrity under humidity and mechanical stress conditions.
Elisa LED supports OEM and ODM development for this product. Available customization includes PCB layout adjustments, color temperature selection, alternative IP ratings, reel length changes, custom labeling, and packaging.
Custom samples can typically be produced within 7–10 days. Standard production lead time is 3–5 days from order confirmation, with a minimum order quantity of 5M.

Q: How does the product differ from other COB strip options in this range?
A：The product is a single-color white output strip optimized for uniformity at moderate brightness. Other configurations in the COB range include 640LEDs/m Dual Color for switchable dual-white output, 960LEDs/m 2-row single color for higher lumen output, 840LEDs/m COB RGB for color-changing applications, 784LEDs/m RGBW with a dedicated white channel, and 840LEDs/m RGBCCT for RGB plus tunable white. Each is designed for a different output and control requirement.
Q: What makes COB strips different from SMD strips?
A：SMD strips use individually packaged LEDs spaced at intervals, which can produce visible dot patterns — particularly in shallow profiles or near reflective surfaces. COB strips bond chips directly onto the PCB under a continuous phosphor layer, producing a smooth, continuous light line at the same output level.
Q: Why use 480CHIP/m instead of a 120LED/m SMD strip?
A：A 120LED/m SMD strip will show individual light points in most open or shallow-channel installations. The product eliminates that by distributing light across a much higher chip count per meter, making a diffuser unnecessary in many standard installations.
Q: Does higher chip density cause heat issues?
A：Higher chip density generates more heat per meter. This strip uses a 2oz+ copper PCB, and installation in an aluminum extrusion profile is recommended for adequate heat dissipation and long-term performance.
Q: What should be checked before selecting a COB LED strip?
A：Key factors include required LED density and brightness level, white or color output type, input voltage and power supply compatibility, dimming control system, required IP rating, cut interval, and the physical installation environment.
Q: Which strip in this range offers the highest brightness with dot-free output?
A：The 960LEDs/m 2-row Single Color COB strip delivers the highest lumen output in this product range. For projects that need reliable uniformity at a moderate output level, the product is the more common starting point.
