This listing is the 5 metre roll — reference HL-RGBCW-896COB-IP00-24V.
Also available as a 10 metre roll. The same RGB+Cool White 6000K COB strip is sold as a continuous 10 m reel — HL-RGBCW-896COB-IP00-24V-10M. Open that page, or scroll to Related Products below. The two lengths are separate products, so the size in your basket is always clear.
The watts per metre on this page are the total for every channel together. The common positive, usually the black wire, carries that whole current. Each colour return carries only its own share. Connector length, and the cross-section of any long feed, are set by the common wire. The calculation for RGB, RGBW, tunable white and RGB+CCT is in our guide to common anode current on colour-changing LED strip.
What you are buying
A premium Hi-Line COB (chip-on-board) RGBW LED strip for colour-changing and high-quality white light in one tape. The white channel is cool white 6000K (RGB+CW) - a crisp, daylight-style white plus full RGB colour, with a smooth, dot-free finish. Ideal for retail, display, offices, cool architectural coves and high-end DIY projects.
Key technical specifications (see also the Product Specifications tab)
- Type: COB / COF RGBW (RGB + Cool White)
- CCT / colour: RGB + 6000K CW
- Density: 896 LEDs per metre (dotless appearance)
- Power: 15 W per metre
- Voltage: 24V DC constant voltage
- CRI: more than 90
- PCB width: 12 mm (use matching 5-pin / 4-channel COB RGBW connectors)
- IP rating: IP00 - indoor / dry locations (not waterproof)
- Cut points: about every 62.5-63 mm
- Roll length on this page: 5 metres
- Warranty: 3 years
For installers and engineers
- Load: budget about 15 W x metres (plus ~20% PSU headroom). Example: full 5 m roll ~75 W; size a 24V driver at ~90 W+ continuous for that run.
- Wiring: RGBW needs four channels + common (5-core). Keep cable runs sensible at 24V; inject power on longer multi-zone jobs to limit voltage drop and colour shift.
- Series run: do not exceed the recommended maximum series connection for this family (typically up to 5 m per feed without mid-injection - confirm on datasheet/attachments for your layout).
- Profiles: 12 mm tape suits many Hi-Line aluminium profiles with a suitable diffuser.
- Controllers: quality constant-voltage RGBW (4-channel) at 24V. Pair with non-dimmable 24V drivers when the controller does the PWM, or follow your chosen control topology.
For DIY and simple projects
Stick the strip on a clean, dry surface (or in an aluminium profile), connect a suitable 24V power supply and an RGBW controller, then cut only on the marked cut lines. You get colour scenes plus a proper cool white channel for everyday use.
How to control this strip
Wireless (most popular for homes, shops and multi-zone RF): scroll to Related Products below for matching Hi-Line wireless options - including popular 5-in-1 WiFi/RF controllers such as HL-WT5 and HL-V5-L(WT), waterproof RF receiver HL-V4-WPS, remotes such as HL-R8, HL-R8-1, HL-RS4 and HL-RS10-RGBCCT, wall panels such as HL-T14, and automation options like HL-EH-M(WZ). Choose the controller first, then the remote or app path that fits the job.
