Cut Anywhere Free-Cut COB LED Strip – 528 LEDs/m – 6000K Cool White 20m 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 ideal for task and commercial lighting.
24V Constant Voltage (CV) – Stable performance, especially beneficial on longer runs.
8 mm wide flexible PCB with high-quality 3M adhesive backing.
High CRI ≥ 90 – Excellent colour rendering for accurate lighting.
Supplied as 20m reel – Ideal for larger projects with fewer connection points.
Typical Applications
Modern retail and commercial lighting projects.
Office and workspace illumination.
Large display and showcase lighting.
Architectural lighting requiring bright, clean cool white light.
Task lighting in kitchens, workshops and industrial environments.
Long linear lighting installations where reducing joints is important.
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: 20 metres.
IP Rating: IP20 (Indoor use only).
Note: For runs longer than 10 metres, dual-end power feeding is recommended to minimise voltage drop. For best thermal performance and longevity, install the strip in a suitable aluminium profile.
Note: In the Related Products tab below you can also find the same type of strip in a 5 and 10m 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.
