Compared to ordinary LED strip lights, this COB programmable LED strip offers remarkable advantages. It has high brightness and density, emits light evenly without any spots. The 50 - cm flexible strip consists of 166 LEDs. The light from the LED beads becomes extremely uniform and can show different colors after refraction, reflection, and interaction with the phosphor in the encapsulation colloid. It runs on a 5V power supply, supports single - wire control and cascade connection. You can easily team it up with Arduino to create your own unique lighting effects. This LED strip is super flexible and can be bent freely. With adhesive on the back, you can fix it anywhere, even in tight corners. It's perfect for indoor decoration, advertising, DIY light shows, and stylish architectural lighting. Features include uniform and soft light, 5V power supply, programmability, full - color RGB, single - wire control, and support for multiple cascades.

There's also a product wiki available.

Using this LED strip is easy. First, connect it to a 5V power supply. You can use single - wire control to manage it and even connect multiple strips in a cascade. To create cool lighting effects, hook it up with Arduino. When installing, just peel off the adhesive on the back and stick it to the place you want, like on the wall or in a narrow corner. As for precautions, make sure the power supply voltage is 5V to avoid damaging the strip. Also, don't bend it too sharply as it may break the LEDs. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry.
