FCOB Cove Light Guide: What It Is and How to Install It
FCOB strip lights give a seamless line of light with no visible dots. See where to use them, how to choose colour temperature, and how to install them in a cove.
FCOB (flip-chip chip-on-board) strip lights have LED chips packed so closely that they form one continuous line of light. Unlike ordinary strips, you do not see individual dots, which makes them ideal for cove lighting, false ceilings, wardrobes and shelves.
Why choose FCOB over a normal LED strip
- Seamless glow: no dotted pattern on walls or ceilings.
- Thin and flexible: bends around curves and fits narrow channels.
- Good for close viewing: works well even when the strip is near the surface it lights.
Where to use FCOB strips
Use them in cove ceilings, TV back panels, under-cabinet kitchens, wardrobe interiors, staircase edges, mirrors and retail displays.
Choosing colour temperature
- 3000K warm white: cosy bedrooms and living rooms.
- 4000K neutral white: kitchens and workspaces.
- 6000K cool white: display areas and modern, bright spaces.
Basic installation steps
- Measure the run and plan where the power supply (driver) will sit.
- Clean the surface; fix the strip in an aluminium profile for neat results and better heat control.
- Cut only at the marked cut points.
- Connect the strip to a driver of the right voltage and enough wattage.
- Test before closing the ceiling.
Always use a correctly rated driver and have wiring done by a qualified electrician. Browse ENER-J FCOB strip lights and LED strip lights.
