90-Degree Side Emission | IP68 Waterproof | 400 LEDs/m | CRI >90 | DC 12V/24V
Power Supply & LED Controller Are NOT Included!
This listing includes the bare waterproof LED strip only. A matching DC power supply is essential and must be purchased separately. A dimmer/controller is optional and also sold separately.
Architectural Lighting That Follows Every Line
A slim illuminated wall joint or a gentle line of light emerging from a recessed groove can transform the character of a space. Unlike standard front-emitting strips, this side-view COB strip projects light sideways for creative, clean-lined decorative designs.
Why Choose MALIIGAZA Side Emitting COB?
Side-Facing Illumination
Directs light 90 degrees to the side for recessed wall lines and narrow decorative gaps.
Smooth Dotless Effect
400 high-density LEDs per meter create a soft, continuous COB light line.
IP68 Waterproof Body
Silicone encapsulation helps protect the strip in suitable indoor or outdoor installations.
Slim & Flexible
An 8mm body and 4mm side light-emitting surface suit carefully planned narrow slots.
Product Highlights
Side-Emitting Light for Narrow Architectural Details
The COB light exits from the strip's narrow side rather than the broad front surface. Use it to outline wall grooves, recessed slots, cabinet joints and ceiling details where the light direction matters.
400 LEDs/m, CRI >90 and 8W/m
High-density COB construction reduces the appearance of individual LED dots. CRI above 90 supports natural-looking colors, while the rated consumption is 8 watts per meter. Specified luminous efficacy: >100 lm/W.
Waterproof Silicone Extrusion
The IP68-rated strip body features a UV-resistant, cold-resistant silicone jacket designed for durable decorative installations. Important: cut ends, joints and external equipment require their own waterproof protection.

Choose the Correct LED Power Supply
This LED strip consumes 8W per meter. We recommend a constant-voltage DC supply with at least 50% wattage headroom. Voltage MUST match the strip exactly.
| Strip Length | Rated Load | Recommended PSU |
|---|---|---|
| 1m | 8W | 12W+ |
| 2m | 16W | 24W+ |
| 3m | 24W | 36W+ |
| 4m | 32W | 48W+ |
| 5m | 40W | 60W+ |
12V strip = 12V DC supply. 24V strip = 24V DC supply. Never connect the strip directly to AC 110V/220V. Incorrect voltage can permanently damage the strip.
Recommended for Outdoor Projects: IP67 Waterproof LED Power Supply
For suitably installed outdoor or moisture-exposed lighting, consider a separately purchased MALIIGAZA IP67 waterproof DC 12V/24V LED transformer. Choose the matching voltage and adequate wattage.

Power supply is not included in the LED strip package. IP67 and IP68 ratings apply to their respective product enclosures; protect all electrical joints properly.

Package Contents
Included: 1 x MALIIGAZA FOB-IP68-0408 waterproof side emitting COB LED strip in your chosen length, voltage and color temperature.
Not included: DC power supply, LED dimmer/controller and extra waterproof connection or sealing accessories.
Installation Guide
- Plan the layout: Measure the groove or gap, confirm the side light direction and ensure suitable clearance.
- Check voltage: Identify the strip as DC 12V or 24V, then select a matching constant-voltage supply.
- Prepare the surface: Clean and dry the installation area. Apply the adhesive backing to a suitable smooth surface and add mounting supports if needed.
- Orient the emitting side: Position the 4mm luminous surface toward the area to be illuminated.
- Connect DC wiring: With power disconnected, observe + and - polarity. Insert any optional PWM dimmer between the power supply and strip.
- Seal exposed points: Use suitable waterproof accessories on cut ends and outdoor electrical connections.
- Test the light: Verify stable and even illumination before closing decorative channels or finishing the installation.
Basic Wiring
Without dimmer: AC Mains → Matching DC Power Supply → LED Strip
With dimmer: AC Mains → Matching DC Power Supply → PWM Controller → LED Strip
Troubleshooting
Strip does not light: Disconnect power and verify voltage, DC polarity, wiring and optional controller settings.
Strip seems dim: Check PSU power capacity, wiring resistance, cable length and controller brightness.
Dimming does not work: Confirm the controller is compatible with constant-voltage, single-color PWM LED strips.
Water enters a connection: Disconnect power immediately. Inspect the affected parts and replace or reseal as appropriate before further use.
Important Safety Notes
NEVER Connect Directly to AC 110V/220V!
- Only use the correct DC 12V or DC 24V constant-voltage power supply.
- The power supply and LED controller are NOT included in this LED strip listing.
- Select a PSU with at least 1.5 times the theoretical strip wattage.
- Cut only at designated points, if marked, and waterproof every cut end and connector.
- Do not sharply fold, overstretch, excessively twist or step on the strip.
- Disconnect power before wiring or maintenance. Mains electrical work should be handled by a qualified person.
- For exterior installations, use suitably rated equipment and protect all electrical connections from moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a side emitting COB LED strip?
It directs light from the narrow side instead of primarily from the broad front face, making it useful for wall grooves, slim slots and decorative lighting lines.
2. Is the FOB-IP68-0408 waterproof?
The silicone-encased strip body is rated IP68. Cut ends, connectors, wiring joints and other equipment must be separately and correctly sealed.
3. Can I use this strip outdoors?
Yes, for appropriate outdoor decorative lighting when the installation, connections, controller and power supply are suitably protected against the environment.
4. How wide is the LED strip?
The overall strip width is 8mm, with a 4mm-wide side-emitting light surface. Check mounting clearance and light direction before installation.
5. How many LEDs are there per meter?
There are 400 LEDs per meter. The dense COB design helps produce a continuous, soft, low-spotting light line.
6. Should I select 12V or 24V?
Select the voltage to match your DC system and power supply. At the same wattage, 24V draws less current and may reduce voltage drop on longer runs.
7. Does the product include a power supply?
No. This is a bare LED strip listing. Buy a separate compatible DC 12V or 24V constant-voltage power supply.
8. Is the LED dimmer or controller included?
No. A compatible PWM single-color dimmer is optional and must be purchased separately.
9. Can the side emitting COB strip be dimmed?
Yes, when connected through a compatible constant-voltage PWM single-color LED dimmer rated for the selected strip voltage and load.
10. What power supply is needed for a 5m strip?
At 8W/m, a 5m strip uses 40W nominally. A matching-voltage DC power supply rated at 60W or higher provides the recommended 50% power headroom.
11. Can this LED strip connect directly to AC 110V or 220V?
No. NEVER connect the strip directly to AC mains. It operates only on the correctly matched DC 12V or DC 24V output of a suitable power supply.
12. Can I cut the waterproof COB LED strip?
Cut only at clearly designated cutting points, if provided. Check the physical strip markings first. Cutting anywhere else can damage the circuit.
13. How do I waterproof the LED strip after cutting?
Use suitable sealing materials, end caps and waterproof electrical connectors. Follow curing instructions before exposure to moisture.
14. Which color temperatures are available?
Choose one fixed white-light version: 3000K warm white, 4000K natural white or 6000K cool white. This is not a tunable-CCT strip.
15. Does the strip support Alexa or Google Home?
Not by itself. Supported smart control may be added with a compatible separately purchased single-color WiFi PWM LED controller.
16. Why does the strip not light up?
Disconnect power and check power-supply voltage, polarity, connectors and optional controller settings before retesting.
17. Does the adhesive backing work outdoors?
Adhesion varies by surface, temperature and moisture. Use only on clean suitable surfaces and add mechanical mounting support for demanding installations.
18. How is side emitting different from front emitting COB?
Side emitting directs light laterally from the narrow edge; front emitting mainly shines forward. Choose based on the orientation of the slot or surface you want to illuminate.
