Clearhill COB LED strip 3 m

The dense COB layout is designed to give this green LED strip a more continuous-looking glow than a strip with more visibly spaced light points. Its dimmer switch lets you adjust brightness, while the USB connection makes it practical for indoor accent lighting near a suitable power source. At 3 m long and 8 mm wide, it can suit a narrow shelf edge or the back of a TV where a broader strip may be awkward. The trade-off is its IP20 rating: this is for indoor use, not areas exposed to water or outdoor conditions.

Technical details

The strip uses COB LEDs at a stated density of 320 LEDs per metre, with a power rating of 8 W/m and a CRI of 90. The listing describes the higher colour-rendering figure as helping colours look more natural than with an 80 CRI strip, that may matter for decorative lighting near coloured objects, though it is not a substitute for choosing a light based on its exact appearance in your room. The strip is green, 8 mm wide and 3 m long. It is rated IP20, so it is not waterproof.

The included setup has a USB plug and a 1.5 m black power cable with an in-line switch and dimmer controls marked + and −. A USB power adapter is not included. The stated working voltage is 5V, and the product description specifies a 5V/2A USB port as the connection requirement. It also describes an electroplated double-sided panel construction, but gives no separate lifespan figure.

Practical compatibility

The USB connection can be used with a suitable 5V/2A port, such as one on a computer, TV, USB socket or phone charger. That gives it more placement flexibility than a strip that depends on a dedicated lighting connection, but the adapter must be supplied separately if you do not already have a compatible one. Check the available port and cable reach before settling on a position, the included power cable is 1.5 m, which can affect where the strip can sit relative to the USB source.

Es buena opción si you want green indoor accent lighting with adjustable brightness and a slim profile. For example, it could run along the rear edge of a TV unit, with the dimmer within reach for lowering the glow while watching a film. It is less suited to a setup that needs a waterproof strip or lighting in a damp location.

Usage tips

Plan the route before connecting the strip, especially around corners or across a shelf, and make sure the USB cable can reach the chosen port without tension. Start with a lower brightness and adjust it for the room, the control is on the cable, so place it somewhere accessible rather than behind furniture. The product information does not specify whether the strip can be cut or how it should be mounted, so do not assume either feature when planning a custom layout.

Before you decide

This is a decorative green strip, not a general-purpose white task light. Its colour and indoor-only rating make it a more specific choice than a neutral strip intended for broader everyday lighting. Quizá no encaja si you need outdoor illumination, water resistance, a supplied USB adapter, or confirmation that it can be cut to a particular length. The 3 m length and 8 mm width are useful planning details, but check that they suit the space before choosing it.

Before deciding

Is a USB power adapter included? No. The listing says the strip includes a USB plug and a 1.5 m black cable with switch, but not the adapter.

Can the brightness be changed? Yes. The cable has a dimmer switch with + and − controls.

What colour is the light? The product is listed as green, so it is intended for coloured accent lighting rather than neutral white illumination.
