Cut Anywhere Free-Cut COB LED Strip – 528 LEDs/m – 6000K Cool White 5m Reel
The HL-COB-FC-720-24V series is a high-density COB LED strip featuring 528 LEDs per metre with true Cut Anywhere / free-cut capability. The continuous phosphor layer allows the strip to be cut at virtually any point along its length without creating dark spots or visible gaps, resulting in a clean and seamless line of light.
Key Features
Cut Anywhere / free-cut – Cut the strip at any position with no dark spots.
528 LEDs per metre – Very high density for smooth, uniform, dot-free lighting.
6000K Cool White – Bright, modern light perfect for task lighting and commercial environments.
24V Constant Voltage (CV) – Stable performance and easy installation.
8 mm wide flexible PCB with high-quality 3M adhesive backing.
High CRI ≥ 90 – Excellent colour rendering for accurate lighting.
Supplied as 5m reel – Ideal for smaller installations, short runs and easy handling.
Typical Applications
Modern retail and commercial lighting.
Office and workspace illumination.
Display and showcase lighting.
Task lighting in kitchens, workshops and industrial areas.
Short architectural and feature lighting runs.
Any project needing bright, clean cool white light in smaller lengths.
Technical Specifications
Voltage: 24V DC (Constant Voltage).
LED Density: 528 LEDs/m.
Colour Temperature: 6000K Cool White.
CRI: ≥ 90.
PCB Width: 8 mm.
Power Consumption: 11.5 W per metre.
Wattage. 11.5 W per metre is the most this strip can draw. We measure a short length at a full 24 V, before any voltage drop, and that is the figure for the driver and the cable. At 24 V it is 0.48 A per metre. A full reel, power from one end only, or cable that is too thin will draw less than 11.5 W per metre, and the far end will be dimmer. It will not draw more than this. Watts are not a brightness ranking between different strips: a high-efficiency strip can give more light from fewer watts. This COB is a standard-efficiency strip, so against another standard COB of the same type the higher wattage is the brighter one.
A full reel of this strip measures below 11.5 W per metre. The figure on the listing is the short-length maximum. How we state watts per metre.
Cuttable: Cut Anywhere / free-cut (continuous COB technology).
Reel Length: 5 metres.
IP Rating: IP20 (Indoor use only).
Note: For best thermal performance and longevity, we recommend mounting the LED strip onto a thermally conductive surface such as aluminium flat bar (2mm or 3mm thick). This provides effective heat dissipation at very low cost. Aluminium flat bar is widely available from builders’ merchants and online retailers.
Note: In the Related Products tab below you can also find the same type of strip in a 10 and 20m reel if needed and other matching accessories.
Matching 8 mm connectors (2-pin, single colour)
This strip is 8 mm wide and 2-wire / single colour. Use only the 8 mm COB connectors in the Related Products tab — not 10 mm or RGB parts.
- Strip to power: join the strip to a cable. Pre-wired 15 cm tail HL-COB8-SP-IP00, screw-to-wire HL-SMDCOBT2-SW-8MM, or universal kit HL-COB-CON-UNI-8 (also useful for mid-run power injection).
- Strip to strip (straight): join two cut ends. Seamless joint HL-COB8-SS-IP00, or screw join HL-COBSMD-A8-IP00.
- Strip to strip with a short cable: 150 mm bridge HL-COB8-SSW-IP00.
- Corners: L-shape clip HL-COB8-L2-IP00, or L/T screw block HL-LT2-COB8-IP00.
These connectors are indoor (IP00/IP20), same as this IP20 strip. Open Related Products to add them to the basket.
