luktix COB LED Strip 5m (3000K) 24V dimmable with RF remote control + UKCA power supply
Product description
The essentials
If you’re after a warm, even line of light for kitchen worktops, mirrors or shelving, the luktix COB LED Strip (5m) is built around that idea. It’s a COB-style strip with multiple chips on board aimed at reducing the “dark spot” look you can sometimes get with more basic LED layouts, and it also uses a 3000K warm white colour temperature that suits most home interiors.
On paper, it’s also designed to be practical: it’s dimmable, includes an RF remote control, and comes with a UKCA power supply. There’s an adhesive backing for mounting on smooth, clean surfaces, plus a plug-and-play setup for a typical DIY install. The one thing to keep in mind is that the description points to use in dry/clean spaces—so it’s not really the style of LED strip you’d choose for damp areas.
What it’s for (and where it shines)
This type of COB LED strip is often chosen for “no drama” accent lighting: long runs, under-cabinet illumination, TV backlighting, and the kind of edge lighting that makes mirrors or make-up tables look more polished.
With this 5m warm white strip, the intent is pretty clear: wider beam coverage (the product mentions an 180-degree beam angle) and an even spread, so you can light edges, cupboards, bookshelves or toe-kick areas without obvious gaps. There’s also mention of uses like stairs and wine shelves, which tells you the target is more decorative/feature lighting than task lighting at full brightness all day.
A simple micro-example: if you place the strip under kitchen cabinets, you can use the RF remote to ease brightness down in the evening—then bring it up gradually when you’re prepping food—rather than switching between only “on” and “off”.
The experience: brightness, dimming and beam
The strip is described as 3000K warm white with a high CRI figure of 92+. If you care about colour rendering—say, how skin tones look in a mirror or how wood tones look on shelving—CRI 92+ is the sort of spec that matters more than people think.
Dimming is a headline benefit here. The kit allows adjustment from 10% to 100% brightness gradually, and it includes a memory function so the strip can remember the last brightness level when you switch it back on. That’s a small feature, but it tends to make everyday use feel less fiddly.
Also, the product states it avoids “dark spots” and that it has a higher light efficiency approach with multiple chips on board. That’s not a guarantee for every installation angle or surface, but it does line up with why COB strips are popular for even-looking light.
Installation reality check: plug-and-play, cut-to-length, and fixing
The “easy to install” angle is mostly supported by the kit-style approach: plug and play for a COB LED strip kit, plus a 36W power supply and the RF remote control.
The strip is described as adhesive-backed for attaching to a wall or other smooth and clean surface. It’s also stated that you can bend it as desired, and that you can cut it to any length along the interface. That’s useful if you’re planning around mirror dimensions, shelf lengths, or awkward corners.
One limitation to note: installation depends on your surface. Adhesive backing only really performs as well as the area you stick it to—so if you’re mounting on textured paint or dusty material, you may need to prepare properly first.
Tech snapshot (what matters when comparing options)
The product description includes enough to judge its “category”:
- COB LED strip length: 5m
- Colour temperature: 3000K warm white
- Dimming: yes, with RF remote control, 10% to 100% range, plus memory function
- CRI: 92+
- Beam angle: 180 degrees (wider coverage)
- Power system: 24V dimmable strip lights, supplied with a UKCA power supply
- Cutting/bending: can be cut along the interface and bent as desired
- Lifespan claim: 50,000hrs (as stated)
- Width: 8mm
It’s aimed at home decoration in dry/clean/smooth places—kitchen, mirrors, shelves, cupboards, wardrobes/closets, bookshelves, and similar.
Where you might want to look elsewhere
This isn’t the best pick if you’re trying to light a room as your main ceiling light. The focus here is decorative and accent lighting, and although it’s described as bright, it’s still a strip designed for ambience and feature illumination.
It may also not suit you if your installation environment is damp or not “dry/clean/smooth”, because the stated use case leans towards interior decorative installs rather than moisture-proof setups.
Finally, if you need a very specific bespoke length with a completely different power setup, bear in mind this is sold as a 5m strip kit with a particular power supply included—great for many DIY jobs, but not always ideal if you’ve already got a driver in place.
Quick FAQ
Is it warm white or daylight?
It’s specified as 3000K warm white, which is typically the warmer, more flattering tone used for living spaces and mirrors rather than a cool, clinical look.
Does it come with a remote?
Yes. The kit includes an RF remote control for dimming.
Can you cut it to fit?
The description says you can cut any length along the interface.
Will it remember my brightness setting?
Yes, it’s described as having a memory function to keep the light effect at the last used brightness when switched back on.
Final verdict
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want a warm white, even-looking COB LED strip for mirror lighting, under-cabinet accents, shelves, cupboards or TV backlighting—especially if dimming with an RF remote and a remembered brightness level sounds like your kind of convenience.
You may want to skip it if you’re looking for a strip for damp environments, or if you need a strip that’s meant to replace main room lighting rather than provide decorative illumination. Also, double-check your surface suitability for the adhesive backing before committing.
If your plan is a clean, indoor DIY install on smooth surfaces, this one ticks a lot of practical boxes—COB-style evenness intent, warm 3000K tone, dimmable control, and a UKCA power supply included.
