5V COB LED Strip Light - Yellow

DFRobot 5V COB LED Strip Light (Yellow) provides a compact, high‑brightness lighting solution for decorative and embedded illumination projects. The small COB light bar integrates 16 LED chips under silicone encapsulation, forming a smooth and continuous luminous surface with minimal shadowing. A low-voltage DC 5V requirement enables easy integration with USB power sources, battery packs, and embedded electronics platforms. Compact dimensions and solderable pads allow flexible installation in narrow spaces such as cabinets, shelves, and display boxes. The integrated heat sink further improves thermal performance, supporting stable operation and longer service life for decorative lighting and small electronic builds.

Note: For long-term use, please paste the LED strip on the aluminum plate to prevent light decay or LED bead burnout since normally it gets hot during use.

COB Encapsulation for Smooth, Durable Illumination

This compact COB lighting module integrates 16 LED emitters beneath a protective silicone layer, creating a continuous luminous surface with uniform brightness. Silicone encapsulation shields LED chips from dust and mechanical contact while improving durability during installation. Compared with traditional discrete LED strips, this chip‑on‑board design minimizes visible hotspots and shadow artifacts. The result is soft, even illumination suitable for decorative lighting panels, cabinet highlights, and small display installations where smooth light distribution significantly improves visual appearance.

Low‑Voltage 5V Power for Flexible Integration

A DC 5V operating voltage enables convenient compatibility with common power sources such as USB adapters, portable battery packs, and embedded development boards. This low‑voltage lighting element easily integrates into electronics projects, battery‑powered decorative lamps, and compact lighting fixtures. Solderable pads allow multiple lighting modules to be connected in either series or parallel configurations, supporting flexible layout design. Such versatility makes this miniature LED lighting strip suitable for custom electronics enclosures, DIY lighting assemblies, and small-scale embedded illumination systems.

Compact Structure with High Brightness Output

The miniature LED strip combines high luminous efficiency with a slim structural profile, allowing installation in narrow or hidden locations. A brightness output of 300 lumens delivers strong visual illumination despite the small footprint. Uniform emission and shadow‑free lighting enhance visual clarity when used inside cabinets, wardrobes, bookshelves, or display compartments. Paired with the included aluminum heat sink, this compact lighting board maintains improved thermal stability, supporting consistent brightness during extended operation in decorative or functional lighting scenarios.
