<p>Swapped my kitchen under-cabinet lighting from regular 5050 LED strip to COB (Chip-on-Board) strip. Huge difference: the COB version has 320 LEDs per meter, so there are NO visible dots - it looks like a continuous smooth line of light.</p><p>Comparison:<br>- Regular strip: visible LED dots, uneven light on countertops<br>- COB strip: perfectly smooth light, looks like a linear fixture<br>- CRI 90+ means colors look natural (food looks better!)</p><p>Install tip: COB strip cuts at marked lines, use solderless connectors for corners (no soldering needed), and pair with a 12V driver sized at 1.2x your total wattage.</p><p>Product: https://www.lrleds.com/products/8mm-cob-led-strip-light-320leds-m-5-meters</p>
