Collingwood COF Dotless LED Strip - 8W/m, 5m Reel with Self Adhesive Backing

A Smooth, Seamless Line of Light

Most LED strips show a row of individual dots when you look closely, especially up close on a shelf or under a cabinet. Collingwood's COF strip uses a chip on flex design instead, so the light source runs as one continuous line rather than a string of separate points. The result is a smoother wash of light with none of the beading effect you get from standard strips.

8W/m, 5m Reel, 2700K Warm White

This listing is a 5m reel running at 8W per metre, finished in 2700K warm white. It's built as a flexible tape, 8mm wide, with a self adhesive backing already applied, so it sticks straight down onto a clean, dry surface without extra fixings. Colour rendering is CRI 90, high enough to matter in kitchens or living spaces where you want colours to look true rather than washed out.

How It Works

• Runs on 24V DC and needs a separate driver, sized to match the total length of strip in your run.
• Wired in parallel, so brightness stays even along the length rather than dropping off toward the far end.
• Class III (SELV) low voltage strip once powered through the correct driver.
• Self adhesive backing for a straightforward stick down fit to a clean, dry surface.
• Dimming is possible if you pair it with a compatible dimmable driver.

Where It Works Best

This is the kind of strip you reach for when you want the light to disappear into the fitting itself rather than draw attention to it. Under cabinet runs in a kitchen are the obvious use, but it works just as well recessed into coving, tucked along a shelf edge, or run up a staircase string, anywhere a clean, linear glow matters more than a spotlight effect. Because it's rated IP20, keep it to dry indoor locations rather than bathrooms or anywhere it could get wet.

Collingwood Lighting

Collingwood has been developing LED technology since 2002, designing and manufacturing its strip and driver ranges from its base in Sywell, Northamptonshire. The brand says it was among the first to bring fully sealed, fire rated and mains dimmable LED products into the UK electrical wholesale market, and its work on strip systems like this COF range sits alongside that history. Collingwood has also been awarded a Gold medal by EcoVadis, putting it in the top 5% of companies assessed globally for sustainability.

Good to Know

• 3 year warranty from Collingwood.
• This product is non returnable, so do check the run length and driver requirements before ordering.
• IP20 rated, for dry indoor use only. Not suitable for bathrooms or other damp locations.
• Class III (SELV) strip, but it still needs a 24V DC driver connected to the mains supply. Moonlight Design recommends having that connection done by a registered NICEIC electrician.
• Also available as a 3000K and 4000K reel if you'd rather a cooler white.

Questions People Ask

• Does this strip come with a driver? No, the 24V DC driver is sold separately and needs to be sized to the total length of strip you're powering.
• Can I use this in a bathroom? No, this strip is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so it isn't suitable for bathrooms or other wet or humid rooms.
• Is this strip dimmable? Dimming depends on the driver. Pair it with a compatible dimmable driver and it will dim, a standard driver without dimming support will not allow it.
• What does the chip on flex design actually change? It removes the visible gaps between individual LEDs, so the strip reads as one continuous line of light rather than a row of dots.
