The QuinLED Dig-COB-RGBW-896-160 LED strip
Back to QuinLED LED strips index page
Designed early-mid 2024 and released in December of 2024. The design goal for this strip was to improve the currently available COB strips on the market. Although COB strips were an awesome improvement in some regards, in others they were less then what was currently available. In my opinion the main problem was that the amount of zones available, especially on RGBW versions was too low vs more traditional variants. The QuinLED Dig-COB-RGBW-896-160 solves this by having 32 zones per meter or 160 zones in total for a 5m/16ft strip while still being 24v and RGBW!
Specifications
- COB strip with 896 diodes per meter (often referred to as 896LEDs/m)
- Per meter there are 224x Red, Green, Blue and White diodes
- Each addressable zone consists of 7x Red, Green, Blue and White diodes
- High resolution
- 3.125cm zones individually controllable
- 32 zones per meter
- 160 zones per 5m/16ft strip
- High power (very bright!)
- 24v only strip
- Single color uses up to 70w per 5m/16ft
- Watt/m figures are kind of meaningless, please use the real-world powersheets
- If you have to have a number I guess it would be 40w/m!

Additional Information
- Article about LED profile and diffuser compatability
- Compatibility with LED profiles
- For LED profiles please use a variant that has a least 12mm room inside of the profile without ridges!
- COB LED strip has components with electrical connections near the edges, normal profiles can conflict with this
- COB LED strip does not bend, you need to be able to put it inside of the profile without bending
- Only small height is needed to achieve great diffusion effect, 8mm or 0.8cm is enough to hide individual LEDs and even mostly that it’s a single silicone line inside
- For LED profiles please use a variant that has a least 12mm room inside of the profile without ridges!
- Compatibility with LED profiles
- Usage guidelines
- COB LED strips are more sensitive then normal LED strips, please keep this in mind
- Do not bend around sharp corners!
- Make sure no metal touches the exposed electrical contacts!
- This is a high powered strip, please treat that with respect
- Do not run the LED strip on the roll it’s supplied on
- Do not run above 60w without a cooling profile applied
- Doing so can substantially shorten the lifespan of the strip!
- Please do not run 100% RGB white, use dedicated white
- Cuttable only on copper pads
- Please closely match the line provided, cutting somewhere else can break traces
- Cutting waterproof strip compromises factory waterproofing and needs to be resealed by customer
- COB LED strips are more sensitive then normal LED strips, please keep this in mind
- Power guidelines
- 5m is good with a single injection
- 10m is ok with a single injection (power limit to 5A)
- front + end injection is required to reach full output potential
- Warranty guidelines
- ! I do not make a huge margin on these strips, I need to sell 8+ to make up a single replacement ! Please treat them with respect
- 6 Months warranty time (from purchase)
- Diagnosis and support of problems through Discord server
- Replacement if strip arrives DOA
- Can be asked to return strip to fix problem
- If failure over time, depends on situation
- Sometimes part of strip needs to be replaced (section gone bad) manually (needs soldering)
