4000K Cool White – Clean, Contemporary Illumination
The 4000K cool white colour temperature produces a crisp, balanced neutral-white light that complements contemporary cabinetry, stone benchtops, modern interiors and practical workspaces.
Unlike warmer 3000K lighting, 4000K provides a cleaner white appearance without the pronounced blue-white character associated with higher daylight colour temperatures.
With an impressive 1,060 lumens per metre, COB CORE delivers powerful, practical illumination particularly suited to kitchen preparation areas, cabinetry, workbenches, commercial displays and architectural lighting.
The combination of high light output and seamless COB technology makes COB CORE particularly effective for installations requiring functional illumination with a clean, professional appearance.

- Kitchen under-cabinet lighting
- Kitchen benchtop and splashback illumination
- Bathroom vanity lighting in suitable dry locations outside wet zones
- Laundry cabinetry in dry, protected locations
- Workshops, workbenches and task lighting
- Wardrobes and walk-in robes
- Living room entertainment units
- Display cabinets and feature shelving
- Contemporary architectural lighting

- Feature walls and decorative lighting
- Retail displays and shopfitting
- Commercial cabinetry and display installations
Serious Light Output – 1,060 Lumens Per Metre
COB CORE is designed for applications where you want more than decorative accent lighting. At 1,060 lumens per metre, it produces bright, practical illumination for kitchens, work areas, cabinetry, retail displays and other indoor spaces where brightness matters.
Its high-density COB construction creates a beautifully continuous line of light, combining strong output with a clean architectural appearance.
More light. Fewer visible dots. Better everyday illumination.
Dotless COB Technology – Seamless Lighting Without Hotspots
Unlike conventional SMD LED strips that can reveal individual points of light, COB (Chip-on-Board) technology places a high density of LED chips closely together beneath a continuous phosphor layer.
With 320 LED chips per metre, Green Earth COB CORE produces smooth, even illumination that minimises visible LED spotting.
This makes COB CORE an excellent solution for installations where the LED strip may be visible, including open shelving, cabinetry, architectural details and decorative lighting.
The strip's 120° beam angle provides broad illumination, making it particularly effective for both direct task lighting and concealed ambient lighting.
IP20 Indoor Lighting – Designed for Dry Environments
Green Earth COB CORE features an IP20 indoor protection rating, making it suitable for dry indoor lighting applications.
Unlike our silicone-coated waterproof COB strips, the IP20 design has exposed electrical components and is intended for use in appropriately protected indoor environments.
For the best performance, install COB CORE in a dry location away from direct water contact, moisture exposure and excessive humidity.
Important: COB CORE IP20 is not waterproof and must not be installed outdoors, in shower areas or in locations exposed to water. For wet areas and outdoor installations, choose a suitably rated waterproof COB LED strip.

Aluminium Profiles – Recommended for Professional Installations
COB CORE's slim 8mm width makes it suitable for use with a wide range of compatible aluminium LED profiles and mounting channels.
Although the strip includes heavy-duty 3M adhesive backing, we recommend aluminium profiles wherever practical to improve heat dissipation, physical protection and long-term performance.
Aluminium profiles offer several advantages:
- Improved heat dissipation and thermal management
- Protection against accidental contact and physical damage
- Neater, more professional installation finishes
- Improved mounting and cable concealment
- Optional diffusers for additional light control
- Surface-mounted, recessed and corner installation options
Our recommendation: For the best long-term performance and professional finish, install COB CORE within a suitably sized aluminium LED profile.

Flexible Installation & 3M Adhesive Backing
Green Earth COB CORE features flexible construction and a slim 8mm profile, allowing it to follow straight installations and gentle curves within the manufacturer's recommended bending limits.
The heavy-duty 3M double-sided adhesive backing provides a convenient mounting method for clean, dry and suitably prepared surfaces.
Before installation, ensure the mounting surface is free from dust, grease and moisture.
For installations requiring additional protection, improved heat management or a premium architectural finish, use a suitable aluminium LED profile.
How to Order Your LED Strip
Green Earth COB CORE is supplied in a convenient 5 metre reel, allowing the strip to be installed as a continuous length or cut at the manufacturer's designated cutting points.
Option 1 – Order a 5 Metre Reel
Choose the 5 metre reel for continuous cabinetry, architectural, decorative and commercial lighting installations.
The strip can be cut at its designated cutting marks to suit the required installation length.
Option 2 – Request a Custom Length
Need a specific length rather than a complete reel?
Green Earth can assist with custom-cut lengths and suitable pre-prepared cable connections.
Add your requirements to your order notes or contact us before ordering so we can confirm the available cutting intervals, configuration and any additional preparation costs.
Important: Only cut at the manufacturer's designated cutting points. Do not cut through LED chips or electrical components.
8mm COB Strip Connectors – Simple Installation Options
Unlike fully silicone-encased waterproof LED strips, COB CORE IP20 can be used with suitable solderless connectors designed for exposed 8mm, 2-pin single-colour COB LED strips.
Compatible connectors can help simplify:
- Joining separate LED strip sections
- Connecting strip lighting to extension cables
- Creating custom cabinetry lighting layouts
- Connecting strip sections around installation obstacles
- Preparing low-voltage strip lighting connections without soldering
Compatibility: Always ensure connectors are designed for 8mm, 2-pin single-colour COB strip lighting and match the strip's contact-pad layout, thickness and electrical requirements.

24V LED Driver Required
Green Earth COB CORE operates on 24V DC constant voltage and requires a compatible LED driver, sold separately.
The strip does not connect directly to 240V mains power.
With a power consumption of 11 watts per metre, calculate the total wattage of your installation and select a suitable driver with additional operating capacity.
As a general recommendation, allow approximately 20% spare driver capacity for reliable operation.
| Strip Length | Total Load | Recommended Driver Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 metre | 11W | 15W or greater |
| 2 metres | 22W | 30W or greater |
| 3 metres | 33W | 40W or greater |
| 4 metres | 44W | 60W or greater |
| 5 metres | 55W | 75W or greater |
Driver selection should also account for cable length, voltage drop, installation conditions and any connected dimming equipment.
For a convenient power supply solution, explore our range of Philips constant-voltage LED drivers.

Add Dimming & Smart Lighting Control
COB CORE can be dimmed using compatible 24V DC single-colour LED dimming equipment, allowing you to adjust brightness to suit your space.
Depending on the selected controller, compatible options may include:
- Manual LED dimmers
- RF remote-control dimmers
- Wall-mounted LED lighting controllers
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart controllers
- App-controlled LED dimming systems
This makes COB CORE particularly versatile for kitchen lighting, entertainment areas, bedrooms and commercial display applications where adjustable illumination is desirable.
Important: Select a controller compatible with 24V DC single-colour strip lighting and rated for the total connected load. Dimmers and controllers are sold separately unless otherwise specified.
